Have you seen the smart lights on the front door?

According to amber network, the potential consumption demand of smart bedside equipment is very high. Bedside cabinet is the place where most of us choose to charge the equipment. Every night, we plug in the charging power of various devices and then fall asleep. From the point of view of the Internet and the Internet of things, modern people hope that when we get up, the equipment can automatically turn on, and the equipment will automatically shut down when we leave. Then why can't we integrate the control switches of the smart devices in the house to the bedside so that we can control them with our hearts?

Luzi Smart Lamp wants to solve this problem, or solve all problems. In addition to lighting the room as a normal lighting device and displaying time on the LCD touchscreen, Luzi also has 4 USB interfaces, which can simultaneously charge multiple mobile phones and tablet computers; Qi and PMA Certified Wireless charger; and a very convenient charging bracket for AppleWatch users. The inner LED lamp of Luzi can change color. Under the control of full color RGB, the color of the tube can be changed harmoniously in warm tone and cool tone, for example, from warm orange to more intense, dazzling white light. Luzi's team said that such a light conversion allows users to relax faster and have better sleep quality.

Best of all, Luzi learned from the AmazonEcho's function, built in a microphone to listen to the user's voice commands and respond to user needs through a built-in Bluetooth speaker. This means that users want to turn down the lights or play their favorite music. Luzi can also be used in conjunction with third party smart devices, such as Swtichmate, FitBit and LockitronBolt. Therefore, through Luzi, users can control the mainstream smart home devices in the home by voice. This function is very convenient. For example, only a command before bedtime can ensure that the door of the house is shut well.

Then, how much does this smart bedside lamp cost? Surprisingly, its price is quite high. The price of the lamp is $399 for Luzi manufacturers, but if you take part in Indiegogo chips, you can enjoy an early bird price of $269, which will start in June 23rd, that is, on Tuesday. But even so, the price of 269 dollars is not cheap - much more expensive than AmazonEcho, much higher than the price of Aerelight OLED lamp, and the latter also has built-in wireless charging function.

For Luzi smart lights, we maintain the concept of rational treatment. Luzi has made a lot of performance commitments for its own products, including voice control. In fact, voice control is a major technical difficulty for most start-ups. Despite our ambitions, we must also face up to the fact that even among the most simple products in the smart home devices, there is a situation where all the chips are successful but can not be delivered at last. Such an example is not uncommon. For example, Lockitron, one of Luzi's partners, is also working hard for the completion of the final product.

Xiaobian also needs to pour cold water on Luzi. The function of wireless charging for iPhone is suspected of misleading consumers (this function appeared in Luzi's promotional video). Unlike Samsung's Nexus7 and GalaxyS6Edge, iPhone is not equipped with Qi and PMA compatibility functions. This means that if you want to charge iPhone, you still need data lines.

In order to stand out in many smart home devices, Luzi still has a lot of work to do. Voice control is undoubtedly an important front in the smart home market. Giants such as apple, Amazon, Google and Microsoft are also participating in the war. That is to say, Luzi's voice functions include Siri, Alexa, Cortana and OKGoogle. It goes without saying that for a start-up company, in the face of such a strong competitor, it is almost impossible to perform a lottery.

Luzi founders say they are stepping up their R & D of voice control systems, but also admit that they have used third party integrated software in their development, including Google products.

In the strategic layout of Luzi, the performance of partners is very important. If you can combine the functions of Luzi smart lights with the currently popular IFTTT services, it will be very helpful for products to open up the market. Besides, the compatibility function of large platform is also very important, such as Wink or SmartThings. Luzi smart lamp is equipped with a temperature sensor, which may indicate that Luzi is likely to link up with WorkswithNest project. Of course, all speculation must be based on the premise that Luzi smart lights can go to the market. However, in the increasingly intense crowd marketing, whether Luzi can finally achieve the goal of crowd raising is still unknown.

If all chips are successful, Luzi is expected to ship in March 2016. The initial distribution market includes only the US and Europe, but Luzi's team plans to further expand the market by the end of 2016. The retail price of Luzi smart lamp is US $399 (equivalent to RMB 2477 yuan). If we participate in the crowd raising, the early bird price will be US $269 (equivalent to RMB 1670 yuan). We will keep our eyes open to see if Luzi will eventually kill the siege, so that we can see the real machine next year.
