Smart disc makes any surface into an Internet of Things remote control

Knocki, a battery-powered disc, which transforms any surface into a smart communication tool — translating up to ten knocking patterns into commands for the user’s smart home.

Users place Knocki on a surface — this can be a door, kitchen countertop, bedside table or anything else. Knocki then connects to the users smartphone via wifi, which enables the user to program in their desired commands using the companion app. Knocki is currently available for pre-order for USD 59 and is expected to launch later this year.
