Las Vegas – Jan 8, 2018 – smanos, a trendsetting innovator and dynamic developer of wireless smart home and DIY security systems, is excited to be back at CES in Las Vegas from January 9 to 12, and is proudly presenting its latest smart home security portfolio, with live demos of the K1 system and UFO camera working with the Google® Assistant and Amazon® Alexa voice interactions. The complete smanos smart home portfolio speaks minimalistic elegance, self-installation and self-monitoring, and is available at Booth 41940 at Sands Expo Tech West throughout the 4 days.

The K1, the ultimate home automation and security center, is smanos’s smart home gateway, combining butler- and guard-like functions into a stack of esthetically pleasing round discs. “We have added a few cool features to the K1 smart home hub, the most noticeable of which is Works with the Google Assistant,” said Brian Stark, General Manager for the Americas. “For us, it was very easy to adjust our app and cloud infrastructure. Integrating with the Google Assistant has enabled us to better serve our users across multiple languages. Instead of being limited on a single device at home, we can meet our users where they are – on the phone, in the office, in the car, while watching TV – enabling them to interact with our products not just by voice but also by typing and tapping.” The newly enhanced Red Dot Product Design and Computex d&i Gold Award winner K1 kit is also compatible with Amazon Alexa, and is available worldwide at an MSRP of US$300.

Available separately or as part of the K1 system, smanos’s UFO Panoramic WiFi HD Camera brings clarity, immersive vision and ease of use to home monitoring, through its surveillance-grade HD fisheye lens, superior night vision and accurate motion detection technology. The smanos UFO camera can be mounted on the ceiling or any flat surface, and provides six selectable viewing angles for all possible monitoring needs, directly on your iOS or Android smartphone. The footage is stored on-site (via an optional microSD® memory card) for free, and soon can be accessed, shared and archived remotely via the cloud for a fee. The smanos UFO Panoramic WiFi HD Camera also works with the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, and is globally available at an MSRP of US$180.

As a proud winner of Computex d&i, TWICE VIP, DISTREE Diamond and National Hardware Show Silver Awards, smanos’s new Smart Video Doorbell empowers you to answer the door even when you’re not home! The doorbell captures and sends real-time video and audio to the homeowner’s and their family members’ smartphones. With the same free iOS or Android app, users can speak with the visitor – or potential intruder – from anywhere in the world as long as their mobile device is online. The doorbell features simple DIY installation, is AC-powered (with backup batteries), and works independently or in tandem with the smanos K1 to connect to other wireless sensors as your dwelling’s requirements continue to evolve. The smanos Smart Video Doorbell will be available globally at an MSRP of US$200.

“Do expect to find much more from smanos on display at CES 2018,” exclaimed Hayden Hsu, Senior VP. “You will get to interact with new sensors and see the unveiling of new collaborations (with Z-Wave®, Nest® thermostats and Hue® lights) and an outdoor camera right in our booth at Sands!”
