Very cool. Going to preorder. Been looking for a way to control my smartthings hub with a touchscreen. The camera and voice is icing. I had seen the Wink Relay and even if you sideload the SmartThings APK, it's a very buggy process.
@xcast3d Thanks for the pre-order! My favorite SmartThings integration we have done so far in our pilot program is with the Ring and a Schlage lock. When somebody rings your doorbell, you get notified on the screen, and can press one button to unlock the door.
@hmurchison Thanks! We will have HomeKit support down the line, but to be honest, the hardware requirements from Apple made it a bit cost prohibitive for our first version. I'll chalk up one more vote for HomeKit - thanks for the feedback!
@mikaelf Our initial product will be released in the US only, sorry about that. We hope to have support for 220-240v (european version) in 2018.
Alexa support is built in - we are both an "end point" (so you can ask a Brilliant Control "Alexa, what's the weather today?") and have an Alexa skill that you can use to control the lights.
@mikaelf@rrhoover I tell you what, when you see "Alexa with a screen" in action (like in our pilot test homes) it's pretty obvious that voice and touch can be combined into some pretty interesting interactions. Personally, I just like having Alexa in the wall instead of taking up room on my end table like an Echo/Dot.
This is a great looking product however it seems a lot of smart tech isn't made to fit with other territories such as the UK. Hope to see this move across the pond one day.
