SmartIron and IOT product

 

Introducing The Smart Iron. Proof That The Smart Iron is a Smart Idea.

Most of us can remember a time when we turn off our iron after we were doing ironing our clothes or worried if we did after we left the house.  An iron left on for long periods of time definitely wastes a lot of energy and could possibly cause a life-risking fire.

We’ve solved that problem with  auto shut off thanks to our patented technology that detects  when the iron is idle for a while leading to it safely shutting it self down. 

How Our Smart Iron Works.

We have an accelerometer chip installed in the Iron. It detects the idle state of the iron  by detecting the absence of ironing motion and switches off the Iron  after a set time. Since it completely shuts off Iron , it is safe and avoid the use of power.

More Features
 We are not just stopping there with Auto -Switch off. In addition to that we are also including features to manage Iron from a smart phone

Mobile and Home Automation Mesh Connectivity
Iron box is equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 Enabled micro controller. Bluetooth Mesh network enables the Iron  to advertise its status over the home automation Mesh network. Phone and Home automation consoles can display Iron status and parameters like temperature,  power usage, water level etc.

Temperature Control
Precise temperature control with the use of a semiconductor temperature sensor and micro-controller. The iron’s temperature can be set from your mobile phone . When the temperature reaches the set level and ready to use it give you an audio alert on your smart phone.  No waiting by the iron while it’s warming up; you can be about your business around your home taking care of other things until your iron tells you it’s ready.

Auto switch off idle time for Horizontal and Vertical positions
Conventional irons are designed sit in a vertical position when not in use even for a short while. The Smart Iron  detects the position of the iron and allows the user to set an idle time at different positions. It’s customary to allow for a longer idle time when our smart iron is in the vertical position so the iron doesn’t get cold if you need to take a phone call or check on your dinner cooking on the stove. There are factory-set idle times for both positions  of 5 minutes but can be changed to any time up to a maximum of 15 minutes.

Voice Alerts on Your Smart Phone; Your Iron is Calling!
 Smart Iron is equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 to advertise its status to a home’s network or to any connected mobile phones that have Bluetooth. This allows it to generate voice alerts on mobile apps announcing status.

Usage History and Power Consumption
Smart Iron keeps track of the usage history allowing the user to collect the power consumed during any given time period. If you’re like most people, you want to lower your monthly bills and the Smart Iron app helps you monitor electricity consumption which can help you lower your monthly electric bills. 


The Story It is the era of IOT, we as a Home Automation Company did our brain storming to connect every single appliance and equipments and make our system a complete IOT enabled Home Automation System which makes a smart home even smarter. We have included every possible type of equipment in our plan and our Iron  is not an exception. When we thought about Iron  we ended up with a new innovation. We haven’t left out the pressure cooker, the light bulb, a wall clock etc. and soon we will come out with a complete IOT campaign.  We made an unexpected decision to come out with Iron first to make a little fund for our R&D efforts.

Risks & Challenges

We have already developed the Basic Dry Iron version of SmartIron. We kept the thermostat active and it can override the temperature settings of the mobile app. This is kept like this to make the device independent of mobile phones. Other settings can work by default or once set value is remembered by the iron. Though we made it a connected device we are also keeping it as a stand alone device with out any dependance to the Mobile Phones or Home automation Network.
