You Can Now Switch On/Off Your AC And Open Your Home-lock With One Mobile App!

Every technology company wants to be the brain at the center of our futuristic automated homes. Mastering this technology will mean great control, from automatically recording a TV show to remotely unlocking the front door all through an app, to start with.

This technology is seeing great traction recently, especially after Apple Home, Amazon Echo, and Google Home have started seeing a great number of queries with people actively buying Amazon Echo speakers and people enquiring about if home Apple Home can work for them.

The smartphone is still the center of a person’s daily life, and that makes smartphone-based home automation approaches like Apple’s and Google’s the better bet.

Towards that Smart Home vision, an IOT startup called Oakter is making waves with already 10, 000 customers in India.

Oakter is an IOT product for home internet enabled home automation solutions that simplify life- by giving you the option of controlling your home appliances just by adding a small add-on plug to the electrical socket.

The Oakter smart-kit consists of a hub, smart plug, plugged in sensors and a mobile app. The mobile app smartens the existing appliances including water motor, air conditioners, geysers, rice cooker, coffee machine, printer, fans, and refrigerator or anything that you want.

The hub takes up just 10 MB data per month to smarten your home.

The best part? The price. The high-end model currently just costs Rs. 9750 with one year warranty and is available on Flipkart and Amazon.

Oakter has also come up with a Wi-Fi enable door lock which unlike the plug system, has to be installed on your door which means that up to Five family members can operate the lock using their respective mobile apps. You can even give temporary access to guests while also tracking the keyless unlocking real-time all for Rs. 7450 including installation.

We are far away from the Jetson’s vision of a Smart Home but we seem to be getting there!
