Knut: remote sensor with connection iPhone for home


If you want to build a sensor network at home, grab as inventive tinkered soon to Arduino . So it is written  once before about a doorbell that send pictures to your iPhone when someone presses the call button. Because not everyone own sense of starting to solder, Richard Pasek and Jay Gondelman Knut conceived the project. Knut can take many readings in the house forward to your iPhone, Android device or desktop computer.

Especially mobile is very useful. For so you can remotely check:

What the temperature of your living room, aquarium or wine collection;
What the humidity in the basement or in your cigar box is;
Or someone in your fridge or liquor collection has shuffled;
Or with a transmitted packet is brutally thrown (useful when sending fragile items);
Or water the plants should have.

These are examples of Knut the inventors have invented, but there are many more possibilities. The small device has Wi-Fi and runs on a battery. You control Knut via your computer or smartphone, you alerts, data and charts reference. To send and receive data using Knut emails, reducing energy consumption is low. The installation's also super simple and you can choose how often Knut information from the sensors transmit. Each sensor gives you some exceptional values, where you want to receive a warning. Knut is usually in sleep and waking at regular intervals to check the status of the connected sensors to measure. If memory is nearly full, the device sends an email to all registered data. In between, you will receive alerts of your choice. A similar Kickstarter project that was very successful is Twine. This project was $ 35,000 needed, but eventually got over $ 550,000 sponsorship from crowd funding.

By default, Knut with a sensitive temperature sensor and a sensor that monitors battery level. You can make all kinds of external sensors via a 3-port hub, for example for measuring humidity and vibration. Creators Jay and Richard hope to realize their dream through Kick starter. The 80 dollar you donate to the project will be used to buy equipment, build apps, programmers can be hired and a specialist in human-computer interface box. The iPhone app is almost ready, and then goes to the creators with Windows and Android to work.

Jay and Richard tasks 3 years of research into this product and are the fifth to redesign. Themselves the inventors in house Knuts about 30 per day, so the Knuts about 300 for the first kick-round production needed to be shipping in two weeks. If there are more than 300 Knuts needed, the team turns an external manufacturer in Massachusetts. With 11 more days to go is already certain that Knut will be reality. The required $ 25,000 has been amply brought.
