Most of us charge smart devices by the bed every night, and we also want the bedside lights to turn off at bedtime and open when they wake up. So, is it worthwhile to focus on the control of the entire home to the bed?
The Luzi Smart Lamp is already a step closer and is intended to make this idea a reality. It can not only be used for indoor lighting, but also can be reported by a programmable LCD touch screen. The four USB ports are enough to charge multiple smartphones and tablets. In addition, the desk lamp also provides wireless charging via Qi and PMA certification, and Apple Watch users can also find a dedicated charging stand. The LED lights in the desk lamp can be changed in color, and the user can set it to any desired color. The range of color temperatures is also quite wide, from warm orange to bright white. According to the Luzi team, the product can help users achieve better sleep quality.
The Luzi table lamp borrows the idea of Amazon Echo, which picks up the user's voice commands through a built-in microphone, while the built-in Bluetooth speaker is used to make sound. This means that the user can adjust the brightness of the light or play their favorite music by voice. At the same time, the manufacturer promises that the desk lamp will provide compatibility with third-party smart products, such as Switchmate, FitBit or Lockitron Bolt, so that users can interact with other smart home products through voice commands. Do you want to make your door more secure by dictating your order before you go to bed?
The desk lamp with such capability is obviously not very fuel-efficient. It sells for $399 (about RMB 2,477). Early supporters of Indiegogo crowdfunding can buy it for $269 (about RMB 1,670). Still very expensive. The event will begin on June 23.
Unlike the Nexus 7 and Galaxy S6 Edge, the iPhone does not offer local Qi or PMA compatibility, and users need special accessories to use.
Luzi's designers say they will develop their own voice command system and integrate third-party software, including Google.
Luzi actively uses other market forces to advance its products. Its support for IFTTT will undoubtedly play a positive role in the promotion of the product, which will enable the device to work on the Wink or SmartThings platform. The desk lamp is also equipped with a built-in temperature sensor.
According to the company, the Luzi table lamp is scheduled to be launched in March 2016.
