Technologies / / December 19, 2019
The idea of "automated smart home" is becoming more urgent. Manufacturers are dumped on the market is the new home and a new attributes, which can be programmed by yourself and manage it remotely with a mobile application.
Obviously, the more of these things you buy the house, the more resources required to manage them. Each manufacturer produces a standalone application and as a result you'll find on your smartphone dozen applications, each of which you need to run consistently, something to poke it, then move on to the next, and etc. Level hemorrhoids proportional to the number of home devices, which wanted to direct the.
Recently we came across a very cool development called Revolv. Its meaning and challenge - to replace all native applications for "smart appliances" one. Simply put, One Ring to rule them all.
Revolv consists of two parts:
Program - an iOS application.
Hardware - a small hub that connects to your home Wi-Fi network and allows you to make friends with smart home appliances with a single application.
To enable the hub to a home wireless network, you need to hold iPhone over it a few seconds. During this time, the flash will give smartphone network data to the device.
After connecting to the home network Revolv begins to search existing smart technology. The list of currently supported devices is not very impressive, but in the future it certainly will increase.
In addition to the restrictions on the supported devices, Revolv often can not work with a particular device in full, that is able to run to perform only some basic functions. If only, in some cases still have to run a native application.
Well, about the prices. The manufacturer is asking for this thing $299And this is not the budget. However, the site Revolv emphasis on support for devices from the premium brands for the smart home, so the price seems to correspond to the positioning. However, if the project is to develop, in the end it should get a really cool common upravlyalka.
What do you think about the idea of a smart home, as well as devices such here? We would like to organize a similar smart system at home?
