Introduction: Smart homes may soon be equipped with AI to help you manage all connected home devices.
Thington, based in San Francisco, has released a free iPhone app with a pair of smart lights, cameras, and other devices in the Internet of Things to provide centralized control and it can be securely shared with selected people.
Thington's concierge chat robot will ask about your preferences and will even help you build smart appliances that will work together to create a safer, more efficient network.
According to Thington, the App is currently working with companies such as Nest, WeMo, LIFX, Philips Hue, Automatic and others. And soon we can use it to control Netatmo's equipment. The Thington Concierge will connect your connected device to an interface for easier control and personalization of the smart home. In the evening, Thington can adjust the color of the light to help you sleep. When you go outside, there is any movement in the house. It will send a photo to remind you that it can even make the layout of lights in your home the same as the Empire State Building.
The app can communicate with users via text messages and find out specific settings preferences on each device by simply asking you questions. To make it easier to adjust the brightness of smart lights, for example, you can order "change settings", "do not do that", or "let it stay the same".
The App is also equipped with a feature called "Guestlist" that allows family and friends to share control with them when they are in your home. According to the company, the setting will be activated only when they are in your home. Once they leave, control will disappear. The robot will use Twutter to look at the friends in the range and at the same time recommend the person who may want to add it to the "Guestlist". Although the ultimate goal of smart devices is to make your family safer and your life easier, integrating multiple products in a confusing manner will only counteract. The goal of "family intelligence" is to eliminate these challenges.
Matt Biddulph, who co-founded App with Tom Coates, said:
“You don’t need to turn yourself into a programmer, you become the biggest beneficiary of smart home in your home. Following the Thington concierge service, we’re working hard to make everyone have their own smart assistants to create safer and more in the future. Personalized home."
