As a digital calendar, the Skylight Cal Max works best when everyone in your family has easy access to its interface. This allows them to quickly add events, chores, or meal plans to the calendar while away from home. Once your Skylight Cal Max is installed, it's incredibly simple to send invites to everyone else in the home that needs access. As long as you and the person you want to invite have a smartphone, the process should take no more than a few minutes.

Here's how to add a new family member to your Skylight Cal Max.

Add a new member to your Skylight Cal Max

With the Skylight app open on your mobile device, here's what you'll need to do.

Step 1: From the Devices menu, select the Skylight Cal Max.

Step 2: Scroll until you see the Share tile. Click on this to open a new menu.

Step 3: Select your Skylight Cal Max from the list.

Step 4: Press Share Device Link.

Step 5: Your phone should then pull up a list of ways to share the link with your family and friends. This screen may vary slightly depending on whether you're using an iPhone or Android device, but generally you can send the invite via text or email.

Step 6: Once the invite is sent, the prospective member will just need to follow the instructions to install the Skylight app and join your Cal Max group. They'll then be able to view and edit the events on your calendar.

There isn't a quick way to remove people from accessing the Skylight Cal Max, so be certain you want to add someone to the group before sending an invite. If you do want to remove someone's access, you'll need to perform a Reset. This returns the device to its factory settings, meaning you'll have to go though the setup process again — but it'll also remove every other previously synced account.

To reset your Skylight Cal Max, simply find the Settings menu on your Cal Max and scroll to the Reset Device option. This will walk you through the entire process (and give you another warning about what data will be lost).

Ecovacs launches two budget-friendly robot vacuums
The Ecovacs in its docking station.

Ecovacs is responsible for some of our favorite robot vacuums -- but they often carry prices well over $1,000, making them incredibly niche products. The company is now looking to dive deeper into the entry-level market with the Ecovacs Deebot N30 Omni, N20 Pro Plus, and N20 Pro. All three are now available, and they carry much more reasonable price tags while still packing in some cool functionality.

The Deebot N30 Omni is the most expensive of the trio at $800, and it serves more as an upgraded midrange pick than a true entry-level robot vacuum. It's still remarkably more affordable than the Deebot X2 Combo, which retails for $1,600.

For those who want a hands-free helper in keeping your home's floors clean, you should take a look at robot vacuum deals. Here's one with a 27% discount for a premium model -- the Roborock Q5 Max+ for $330 from Amazon, for savings of $120 on its original price of $450. It's a self-emptying robot vacuum that you won't have to deal with for up to seven weeks, so you'll be able to focus on other chores around the house. You need to hurry with your purchase if you're interested though, as this limited-time offer may disappear at any moment.

Why you should buy the Roborock Q5 Max+ robot vacuum
Most people who are thinking of buying robot vacuums are probably looking for Roomba deals, but we actually gave the top spot in our list of the best robot vacuums to Roborock. That speaks volumes of the quality that you'll get with the Roborock Q5 Max+, which comes with a self-emptying dock that fits a pair of 2.5-liter dust bags. That's enough capacity to hold all the dirt and debris that the robot vacuum picks up for up to seven weeks, so it may take that long before you need to manually dispose of the dock's contents.

Roborock sends the first robot vacuum into space
Roborock first robot vacuum in space S8 MaxV

In the spirit of pushing boundaries, Roborock has perhaps pushed the envelope further than ever before. How? Well, it's certainly not just by introducing the Roborock S8 Max Series smart vacuums, consisting of two models: S8 MaxV Ultra and S8 Max Ultra. There's more to it.

Although these two powerful and intelligent smart vacuums include a host of new innovative features, there's something else that's bigger and more awe-inspiring. Keeping up with that idea of "cleaning beyond limits," the S8 series has also achieved something spectacular related to space. Yes, outer space. In August 2024, the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra was launched into the upper stratosphere, becoming the first-ever smart vacuum in outer space. Just imagine it floating, weightlessly, high above the planet, maybe even cleaning some debris as it goes.
