Watts batteries are like supersized Legos that power your house

WATTS Battery Promo
It is 2017 and you can run your house on a battery if you want to. Not just any old battery, of course. Alas, no matter how many Duracell bunnies you line up, you are unlikely to be able to get the electricity you need for your entire household. But if you pre-order a Watts, you may be on the right track. Similar to Tesla’s Powerwall, the Watts is an enormous battery heralded as a personal power cell. The company notes on its website that you can create a “personal power plant from any available power source” with Watts. Simply connect the socket, push the ‘on’ button, and start generating the power you need to run your home.

The stackable units can be combined in various numbers depending on how much power you need to impart. If you are only trying to power a computer or a refrigerator, you just need one Watts cell. But if you are looking to run more of your household off of battery power, you can get a few cells, put them together, and provide enough energy to get your TVs and electric washers going.

As for the batteries themselves, they get their juice either from the sun (the batteries have solar panels) or from the grid itself. However, if you use an alternative source of energy, Watts promises it will give extra back to traditional power grids.

Each Watts module comes complete with all necessary components of a power supply system and do not require customers to buy any additional bells or whistles. The modular system also promises to be maintenance-free, extremely easy to use, and able to simply be plugged in for you to play. As it stands, the lifetime of Watts is said to be more than 10 years.

Of course, the battery comes with a mobile app that allows you to fully control your power supply system, check out up-to-date statistics about the work of all the elements on your personal power grid, and more.

You can pre-order the Watts now for $3,000 and production is slated to begin this August.

Think your house is smart now? Here’s a peek at what it’ll be like with AR

In Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, the influential Greek philosopher asks us to imagine a group of prisoners living their entire lives inside a cave. All that they can see of the real world comes from shadows which appear on the cave walls. Eventually, a prisoner escapes and realizes that his or her previous view of existence was based on a low resolution, flat understanding of how the world actually operated.

A slightly pretentious way of starting an article on augmented reality? Perhaps. But the broad idea is the same: Right now, in the pre-AR world, we have a visual perspective that contains only the details of things around us that we can see on the surface. AR, a technology which has been talked about increasingly in recent years, promises to let us go deeper.

WiCharge’s PowerPuck can power your smart home devices through the air
powerpuck powers your devices through the air without cables wi charge

Smart technology brings with it a huge number of conveniences that would have been unheard of even a decade ago, but wireless charging has thus far been limited to contact charging devices; for example, you might place a puck-shaped device on your nightstand and place your phone on it to charge. Wi-Charge hopes to change that through its trademarked AirCord technology with the new PowerPuck.

This is a type of wireless power transmission technology that can power compatible devices from up to 30 feet away. The device makes long-range charging easily accessible to anyone. The PowerPuck can be plugged into a wall outlet or screwed into a light socket to provide power. Wireless power makes it possible to create more aesthetic looks through the home when you don’t have to fight with unsightly cords or finicky cable management. Even devices that do not currently require cables and instead operate on batteries do not have the best battery life.

Want to control everything in your house via voice? Install these power outlets
ConnectSense

When you think of a smart plug, you likely think of a device that plugs into an existing outlet and connects to Wi-Fi. The ConnectSense Smart In-Wall Outlet is a bit different, as the name might imply. It sits directly in the wall and replaces an existing outlet, which means some wiring work is required. The installation is not as simple as it is with other smart plugs (and it isn’t a great choice for renters as a result), but the benefit is that it can act as a smart plug for tight spaces, such as behind the couch.

The ConnectSense Smart In-Wall Outlet measures the amount of energy used by any device plugged into it, which gives you a great idea for how much power a specific appliance might use. You can check out real-time voltage readings on the ConnectSense app. It’s a great way to spot any appliance that’s drawing phantom power, and can help cut down on utility costs.
