As our gadgets become smarter and as our regular home appliances and features become more connected, there might be a growing need to have a smart controller that controls all of it from one place. At the moment things like smart locks, smart bulbs, and etc. can be controlled via your phone, but if you’d rather not have to keep fishing for your mobile device, then the Nuimo smart controller might be for you.
The design of the Nuimo is pretty simple. It’s basically round and shaped like a hockey puck and the device itself has four main commands – click the disc, turn its dial, swipe on its surface, and even perform gestures above its surface. From there users can pair the Nuimo with a bunch apps and control it from here.
For example if you want to play music from your wireless speakers, you can pair the Nuimo with it and take it around with you so that you will always have its playback controls on your person all the time. You can turn the dial to adjust its volume, wave your hand over its surface to swap to the next song, tap its surface to pause, and so on.
The device currently has integration with a bunch of apps and connected devices such as Sonos Wireless Speakers, the Nest thermostat, Philips Hue LED bulbs, and more. It can even pair with your computer as long as your computer has Bluetooth connectivity. It looks like a pretty awesome idea and it does sport a pretty sleek design, so if you’d like to learn more or pledge your support, hit up its Kickstarter page for the details.
