Belkin showcases an expanded WeMo home sensor lineup at CES 2015 covering windows, doors, room motion and alarms, as well as WeMo-enabled lighting solutions from Osram Sylvania and Technical Consumer Products (TCP).
"The International CES is the biggest coming out party of the year for WeMo and the perfect place to showcase the full breadth of the WeMo ecosystem and how it will raise the bar on home awareness," the company says. "2015 is the year that WeMo gets even smarter, with simple, easy to use sensors taking the first step towards full, anticipatory home automation that responds and reacts without direct human input and makes the whole home more conscious and connected."
All the WeMo sensors connect to mobile devices via the WeMo Link wifi-to-ZigBee bridge. The system is subscription free and provides schedules, alerts and notifications, and triggers activating other WeMo devices.
The sensor lineup seen at CES consists of the Door and Window Sensor (a magnetic contact sensor detecting whether a door or window is open or closed), Keychain Sensor (a small fob for the tracking of wearer's whereabouts), Alarm Sensor (adds internet of things capabilities to offline alarm systems), Room Motion Sensor (detects room motion via heat detection) and Water with Echo Technology (analyses water usage from any point in a home plumbing system).
Meanwhile the new Osram Sylvania and TCP products expand WeMo-enabled lighting with fully dimmable white LEDs, adhesive lighting strips and spot lights ideal for outdoor use.
"WeMo now gives people the ability to automate entire rooms and scenes through one simple, intuitive app, which is an attractive option for those that may be waiting to jump into the world of smart lighting," the company adds.
The above mentioned WeMo sensors will be available from H2 2015, while the lighting solutions will be launched throughout the year.
