intelliplugThe intelliPLUG’s claim to fame is being the smallest and most affordable smart plug in the world. Yes, you read that right. It looks like the whole world is moving towards having a smart home and a smart office, so it would also make perfect sense if a smart plug is part of the corresponding setup as well. Enter the intelliPLUG from cnct — where it will help your house become a smart home for the fraction of the cost, all the while offering one the ability to enjoy control of any plugged-in device directly from a phone or tablet.

Being part of an Indiegogo campaign at the moment in order to fund the product’s final development phase, we do hope to see the intelliPLUG end up as reality. It will be Wi-Fi-enabled so that this smart plug will allow users to control their lights, appliances and any “plugged-in” device directly from their phone or tablet, regardless of where they are as long as there is a decent Internet connection in the vicinity.

intelliPLUG will boast of full iOS, Android and Amazon Alexa functionality, enabling users to turn on/off plugs, set timers for devices as well as schedule plugs to turn on/off automatically. Those who manage to be an early bird for the intelliPLUG will have to fork out a mere $19.99 for a 2-pack purchase, which is half the price off the recommended retail price. Even at the full retail price, it will cost less than half of what the other more established brands are selling for.

Not only that, it comes with a quick three-step setup process, where all users need to do is to simply plug the intelliPLUG into any electrical outlet, download the cnct app, pair the plug with the app, and you’re good to go. It takes less than a minute, and the user can then virtually gain control of any “non-smart” appliance without missing a beat. Not only that, the intelliPLUG is small, attractive and will be able to blend in with any home environment.

wacom-clipboardWacom is an old name when it comes to digitizer tablets as well as styluses that simply work, and work well. This time around, the Wacom Clipboard has been revealed to transform your business into a more paperless environment. Granted, one can never end up with a truly paperless environment, but there is the possibility of minimizing whatever use of paper wherever possible. With the Wacom Clipboard, such a vision becomes easier, since businesses are able to transform paper documents into the digital format — in real-time.

Also known as the PHU-111, the Wacom Clipboard is a smartpad which will allow users to complete and sign documents with the help of standard paper forms as well as ink. It will then convert the documents to a digital version in real-time. Biometric handwritten signatures will also be able to be captured and attached. The digital documents can subsequently be stored on local PCs, or simply have them uploaded immediately to servers or the cloud for easy document management.

Businesses such as service, healthcare, insurance industries and public sectors that still require paper forms but would like to move to a digital archive can always rely on the Wacom Clipboard to deliver a secure and easy method of instantaneously digitizing and saving these paper documents, all without having to change existing paper-based workflows.

The electronic clipboard will be paired to a host PC or a mobile device through Bluetooth, although there is also an option for USB connectivity when making use of a PC. Anytime a document is placed onto the Wacom Clipboard, the integrated barcode reader will be able to automatically identify the document, communicating with the PC or mobile device in order for the corresponding digital document to be called up.

While there is no word on pricing just yet, the Wacom Clipboard is tipped to be ready for shipping at the end of July 2017.

BETO Sleep Coach is another example of IoT done right

beto-sleep-coachThe Internet of Things (IoT) is certainly one prime example of how technology has made life a whole lot better and easier for everyone, and one of the great things about IoT is the way it is able to change the way we interact with things in and around the home. For new parents (or seasoned parents, it does not matter) who have just welcomed the latest bundle of joy to the home, you know that one thing is guaranteed. Your sleep pattern is going to go out of whack for one simple reason: baby’s sleeping time will be the one that dictates how much sleep everyone else gets in and around the home. Enter the BETO Sleep Coach, a device that merges IoT with artificial intelligence technology in order to optimize baby sleep patterns so that everyone will turn out better for it.

The BETO Sleep Coach helps to ensure that babies are well-rested without losing any sleep over it. Touted to be a first-of-its-kind IoT device and companion app, it will rely on AI to deliver insights such as when to feed the baby, and when to put the baby down for a nap. You can say that simplicity is the essence of the BETO Sleep Coach. Not only is it portable, it is also wall-mountable, depending on how you would like to use it. This IoT device boasts of large, easy-to-understand buttons that will help activate the recording of daily routines such as naps, meal times, diaper changes and baths.

All of the recorded data will be sent over to a server for careful analysis. From there, the BETO Sleep Coach can offer data-driven suggestions to parents for optimizing their baby’s sleep. It is definitely the more affordable method for the whole family to end up with an adequate amount of sleep. After all, pediatric sleep specialists are expensive despite offering hands-on guidance and consultations, not to mention time consuming. Books require time to go through them. The BETO Sleep Coach straddles the middle ground and will not make huge demands of your time, something that you are already in short supply with a new addition to the family.

trackr-pixelSome of us have memories like elephants, where we never forget a single face, name, or person, but when it comes to the remote control at home, it tends to go missing — especially when you are not the only one living under the same roof. Well, here is the TrackR Pixel which will offer a smaller, lighter, and louder version of the original TrackR tracking device. It will not only sport a loud ringer that ought to make it easier to pick up where your item is, there is also a bright LED light thrown into the mix in addition to a long Bluetooth range.

The TrackR Pixel is one of the smallest and brightest Bluetooth tracking devices on the market right now, where it sports a longer range and louder ringer than the TrackR bravo. The integrated LED light makes it a snap to hunt down items in the dark, and is especially handy for those who would like to rummage through their own handbags in the cinema, or would need to have a little bit more light while trying to fit the key into the keyhole late at night. Available in nine different colors to fit anyone’s personal style, it is highly affordable.

Each purchase comes with a free key loop and adhesive, allowing the TrackR Pixel to be attached to any item that has a tendency to get lost or misplaced. These include keys, wallet, bags, even pets, and when paired with the free TrackR app, users can loudly ring the misplaced item, but also make the attached TrackR pixel light.

Any item that remains lost outside of range can always enlist the assistance of TrackR’s Crowd Locate Network. Upon activation, the owner will be able to receive anonymous updates of the last-known location of the missing item, each time a TrackR user passes within range of it. With more than 360,000,000 individual item updates each month, it should work better than a bloodhound. The TrackR Pixel has an asking price of $24.99 a pop if you are interested, and it also arrives in multi-packs.
