Knocki can make any surface smart enough to respond to taps. It’s a small white wireless device that can sit or to be on any smooth surface to transform it into a smart-remote for controlling home devices.
Makers of Knocki have invented a patent-pending technology called SurfaceLink that is installed on knocki to pick up taps that you make on the installed surface whether it is a wall, table top or door.
Setting up your the device is easy and just takes a few minutes. Start by connecting the device to your WiFi network and use the free Knocki companion app to link all your devices and accounts.
After the device is mounted to a surface, define the unique gestures to trigger your actions (up to 10 gestures), and you’ve instantly created a powerful smart surface! The process is simple, and once it’s done, Knocki will keep working (via WiFi) even if your phone is turned off or away!
To get things started, you have to fire up the companion android or iOS app and configure the tap sequence to do a particular task. Tap sequences can range from simple single taps to multiple taps to combination of taps. Then, you can assign a tap sequence to do a particular task.
It also serves as a security device. If you have it installed on your door and paired it with your home security system, you will be able to knock your way into your home by tapping the set password knock sequence. You can activate your security alarm and know when the door is opened. You can use this device to send pre-programmed alerts or texts to your family members to let them know that you’re leaving or reached home.
