A couple of iPhone-controlled gadgets have been released over the past few months. Recently, a seemingly normal appliance was added to the list when the world's first iPhone-controlled ceiling fan made its debut on the Consumer Technology Tradeshow and Consumer Electronics (CES) that was being held in Las Vegas, Nevada.
This new innovation came from The Hunter Fan Company. It is the oldest company in the world that still makes ceiling fans. This came in two styles, namely, "symphony" and "signal." Both of these particular units can be used either by controlling them through Siri or by hooking them up in Apple's home-kit platform with the use of its built in Wi-Fi system.
Any user can control such as opening and closing of the fan just by voice control that is connected to Siri. Aside from that, symphony and signal were also manufactured with built-in support for home-kit platform. Users can create scene macros and set geological functions for the fan to do: one example of this is setting the ceiling fan to automatically stop when not in use. It has a built-in support that allows the ceiling fan to be connected with other home-kit platform devices all throughout the house. Users can now generate a new set of functions such as drawing the blinds, turning off lights and locking doors whenever they leave the house.
These two particular smart fans can also be programmed to automatically turn on whenever the house's fire alarm goes off or the temperature in the place reaches a high level. In a recent statement released by Hunter's CEO John Alexander, he proudly introduced it as a pair of very high-quality yet affordable, modern-looking and useful devices. It can bring state-of-the-art Wi-Fi technology that offers a new landscape that can be used in order to improve the efficiency of the appliances that people use daily. The two smart fans will be available in the market later this year and will stand at a price range of $300 to $450.
