Arlington, TX — On July 15, 2015, iBlinds is launching a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter on July 15 to bring the DIY home automation kit to the market. The product will allow the customers to make their existing blinds “smart” and to control multiple devices with a touch of one button on a phone, tablet, or Z-Wave remote.
The gizmo will let you automate any two inch horizontal blinds in your house or office: set up a specific time to open and close, adjust them to keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, remotely control a single blind, or a group of them, from anywhere in the house or in the world, using a free app on your smartphone.
The kit includes a blind motor, a height and tilt rod adapters, a rechargeable battery with an expected life of more than three years, a power cable and USB charger.
iBlinds uses a Z-Wave wireless technology to integrate with your existing home automation network right out of the box. Z-Wave alliance currently includes more than 1,200 interoperable products, allowing you to create custom solutions by mixing and matching your smart devices. Creating a mesh network, every gadget extends and strengthens the range of communication, bridging the gap between smart appliances located too far apart.
A user can install the intelligent motor inside the blind headrail in about 10 minutes, without the need for tools, messy remodelling or professional programming.
“Home automation is supposed to make our lives easier. Instead, we have all kinds of appliances requiring separate hubs and apps, and making even a simple task, like turning on the lights in a living room, as complicated as launching a space shuttle. We wanted to design an affordable and simple product that would add comfort and privacy to your life and connect with your existing smart home system right out of the box,” said Eric Barnett, the creator of iBlinds.
The iBlinds kit is made for homeowners and landlords who would like to save time and money on energy bills and to have an automated solution which makes their lives more comfortable and secure. It is also very helpful for seniors and people with a limited mobility.
In a recent report on the connected home, BI Intelligence forecasted that the industry will grow at a compound annual rate of 67% over the next five years. iBlinds, one of the pioneers of the Internet of Things industry, is launching a campaign on Kickstarter.com to raise $50,000. The backers on the crowdfunding website have an opportunity to pre-order the kit, starting at $59 with a delivery date scheduled for December of 2015.
