Another smart element for a smart home and again - a lamp. This time the project has several competitive advantages at once, the central one of which is the price.
Indiegogo launched a fundraising campaign on Qube, which has already exceeded the required $ 50,000 for production. This time, the functionality, which is known for a number of models : color change and remote control from a smartphone, has added a number of fun features, including smart notifications.
So, for example, Qube will be able to give you a light signal about an incoming call or transmit weather conditions so that you can take an umbrella with you. Special shades can be adjusted so that they work as an alarm clock.
The “energy-saving” component of Qube is that the lamp is capable of remembering your behavior patterns and adjusting your own ones for them: turn on when you approach or turn off when the apartment is empty. Moreover, in order for the lamp to know about your proximity, you do not need to have a smartphone with you. The lamp identifies any device with BLE, including wearable electronics - the campaign talks about Fitbit and Jawbone gadgets.
Qube's Wi-fi lamp will sync with your smartphone using the app that will be released for most mobile platforms.
And by August 2016, she can earn in tandem with the Apple Watch.
Once again, we note that the retail price of this lamp should remain at $ 19. The pre-order now on the Indiegogo website is $ 16, and even Aliexpress cannot seem to compete here ...
This, of course, is not the first smart lamp, and many of them are listed in our recent collection on smart home. The legend of crowdfunding is still LIFX - a Wi-fi lamp that is controlled from the application changes colors, however, as long as you are in the same zone with it.
Also, shipments of another project with Kickstarter have recently begun - BeON , a lamp with a backup battery, which promises to protect the apartment from thieves. The pioneer of this niche is the project of 2012 - Philips Hue, whose creator recentlycriticized competitors , doubting the quality of modern smart lamps.
