Low price + self-assembly + easy to move away, smart home set Linkio to let pass

If you read the previous article about ICAM PRO FHD that the smart home in addition to monitoring a little bit, the scale of the whole home solution must be the first choice.

The Kickstarter Linkio is a simple and low-cost home automation system composed of Le Hub, le infrared remote control, le socket and le switch.

Among them, Le Hub is a link between the user's mobile phone and its connection to electronic equipment or household appliances in the control. The Le IR remote control will "learn" the function of the remote control in the home through the infrared signal, and allow mobile devices such as mobile phones to be used as any compatible IR controlled appliances. The LE socket allows for remote or automatic operation of household appliances, which means it supports automatic startup. Le switch allows remote management of lighting, while providing DIY design, the most important thing is that it can be used as an alternative to the standard mechanical wall switches, the management of other than lighting and other household electrical appliances products.

On the whole, Linkio can realize the remote management of the electric appliance through the mobile device with the help of the network. A simple understanding is to turn your mobile phone into a remote control for all electrical appliances, and achieve unified controls.

"Last year, my colleague often had to commute home because he or his wife would forget to turn off electronic devices and appliances, such as hair straightener or ovens," Linkio's founder said. In his view, Linkio is aimed at consumers who want to control the daily necessities they already have, without having to buy multiple sets of smart home equipment.

At present, most people do not want to buy a one-time package of smart home products, but sometimes there is the need for remote control of some electrical appliances, Linkio is for this demand.

Linkio's entire installation package is priced at $99, and you can add and use any other components separately for the Le hub. In addition, Linkio is a stand-alone system that currently does not require a monthly lease or reliance on a certain server. Of course, if you want to move, Linkio can also "move" with you.

Linkio on the Kickstarter is about to end, and now it has raised nearly 50,000 euros.
