A new smartplug reportedly connects a house’s power outlets to a Bluetooth low-energy and it can be also controlled by a smartphone for proximity triggering and scheduling.
The Zuli Smartplug can detect user movement in the house and trigger customized actions based on the activity like switching the lights on or off, controlling the space heater, etc.
According to Tech Crunch, the Zuli Smartplugs also work in tandem with one another, creating a Bluetooth mesh network to let them communicate with each other and at least three outlets are required for accurate location tracking within a home.
A three-pack starter kit has been priced at 135 dollars, and the Zuli team expects to ship the device in June 2014 after a beta program to test it. (ANI)
