A new gesture and motion smart home controller launched via Kickstarter this week, developed by a team based in the UK. They are aiming to raise £20,000 over the next 30 days to transition from prototype to production.
Trajectio is a motion-powered home automation system that uses widely available sensors to detect motion and activate your Phillips Hue lights and Sonos speakers. This innovative device aims to simplify home automation by eliminating the need for physical switches or voice commands, making it more accessible and user-friendly.
How Trajectio Works
Trajectio leverages advanced motion detection technology to create a seamless smart home experience. By using sensors that are already widely available, the device can detect specific gestures and movements to control various smart home devices. For instance, a simple wave of your hand can turn on the lights, while a different gesture can start playing music on your Sonos speakers. This makes it incredibly convenient for users who may have their hands full or prefer not to use voice commands.
Trajectio is now available to back via Kickstarter from £99, with delivery expected to take place during October 2017. Check out the demonstration video below to learn more about its capabilities and how it can transform your home automation experience.
Trajectio started as a home project to overcome an awkwardly placed light switch and get more out of expensive home smart devices already purchased. After realizing its impact, I’d love to bring Trajectio to your home too. I am currently on a sabbatical from my role as a Technology Consultant and, as you have seen in the timeline, have been working on Trajectio during my spare time for the last 16 or so months.
Benefits of Using Trajectio
One of the primary benefits of using Trajectio is its ability to integrate seamlessly with existing smart home devices. Unlike other smart home controllers that may require additional hardware or complicated setups, Trajectio is designed to work with devices you likely already own. This makes it a cost-effective solution for enhancing your smart home.
Another significant advantage is the convenience it offers. Traditional smart home systems often rely on voice commands or smartphone apps, which can be cumbersome to use in certain situations. Trajectio’s gesture-based controls provide an intuitive and effortless way to manage your home environment. For example, if you’re cooking and your hands are dirty, you can still control your lights and music without touching anything.
Moreover, Trajectio can be particularly beneficial for individuals with mobility issues or disabilities. The ease of use and accessibility it provides can make a significant difference in their daily lives, offering them greater independence and control over their home environment.
