“We’re thrilled to debut the smanos K1 SmartHome DIY Kit, and showcase our latest offerings to worldwide retail buyers and distributors,” said Ken Li, founder, CEO and Director of smanos. The K1, the ultimate home automation and security center, is smanos’ latest wireless smart home gateway, combining butler- and guard-like functions into a stack of aesthetically pleasing round discs. “The discs come with aluminum frames and texturized plastic surfaces, particularly designed for everyday wear and tear,” Li said. “smanos K1 connects to up to 50 wireless accessories with ease, and its intuitive operation both on-site and on the smartphone is a breeze. Users, young or seasoned, can rely on their basic senses to see, hear or touch to check if K1-enabled things at home are working properly.” Such connected but wireless things include remote plugs/switches, locks, cameras, alarm detectors, environmental sensors and many more.

“Comparable with high-caliber smartphones these days,” said Brian Stark, General Manager of Americas, “smanos K1 is easily mount-and-play, and adding/removing features is just like adding/removing smartphone apps. With such intuitive operation, gesture-based password protection and self-learning capability, your smart and connected home has just become that much more adorable and affordable with smanos K1.”

“The IP6, a new addition to smanos’ WiFi portfolio and an HD camera for home security and serenity, has a wide field of view at 95 degrees (equivalent to 2 DIY home cameras from the competition combined) and a state-of-the-art cooling mechanism that cannot be found elsewhere in the DIY security sector,” said Brian Borghardt, General Manager of Europe. “smanos IP6 is an intuitive, plug-and-play camera that delivers uncanny, smooth, HD quality video at 720p, without any complications or LAN setup.”

“With just one click, you can share (or revoke) your IP6 camera views with your friends or loved ones via registered email addresses, and enjoy memorable moments with them,” said Hayden Hsu, Vice President. “The built-in HiFi microphone and speaker ensure seamless 2-way communication between you and your loved ones, keeping either party in the know, on the go. One smartphone can control multiple smanos IP6’s; vice versa, one IP6 can be viewed by multiple users simultaneously.”
