Manufacturing During The Pandemic
This can be a challenge with today’s supply chain issues. Many components and sensors used in a smart switch have long lead times, sometimes a year or more and/or prices have increased as well as transportation costs. The price increases can be 20% to over 100%. Clearly this requires absorbing some of the costs to try and maintain a reasonable end user price, but some of the cost must be passed on to be able to sustain a viable business.
Designing A Durable And Upgradeable Smart Switch
Designing A Durable And Upgradeable Smart Switch George Scolaro Founder, Nuro Technologies A smart switch should be expected to have at least a 10+ year life, at which point the technology may have changed sufficiently to justify an upgrade. It should have a longer operational life if the homeowner chooses to not upgrade. With this goal, […]
Practical Ergonomics Applied To Smart Switch Design
A truly smart light switch should typically operate without the need for intervention and on the occasion where you need to physically interact with it, it should be intuitive and tactile. You click the rocker up or down and you have a tactile feel and response to confirm operation. Compare this to a touch interface that requires you to visually verify where you have placed your fingers and that you have performed the correct gesture/action.
Checking, Testing, and Improving Indoor Air Quality
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is a new trend in measurement of how good the air is indoors. It effects our health and mental alertness with increase in pollutants inside our home especially the harmful ones like VoCs (volatile organic compounds) and CO2 levels. Humidity also affects our eyes and skin causing dryness and irritations. Recent innovations in technology have made consumer affordable sensors be able to measure IAQ, CO2 Equivalent, Humidity, and Barometric pressure.
Understanding AWS IoT With An Example
