How it Works:
Apple Home comes wedged with a telephone unit that also plays the role of a remote. The remote is used to control all devices. To make sure everything works and is in sync, everything is connected to a sensor with the help of a device plug. All the appliances that you wish to control are plugged in it after which, through signal transmissions, Apple Home will be able to identify the product and communicate further. Besides this, an application can be downloaded on an iPhone which will also help in controlling the unit and perform accordingly.
Orange LED lights are displayed on the gadget which makes it easy for you to choose the device you wish like controlling. To select the device, simply bring in use the forward and back buttons which will do the needful. The device also has a green LED, which lets you know if it is switched On/Off. A power button has been placed in the center that controls the above function. To control the selected home appliance (temperature of A/C, refrigerator, oven and channel navigation for TV) “+” and “-” options are used.
The Design:
Apple Home will have typical Apple features. A serene appearance that comes naturally with all products the company endorses because of its heavy usage of the white color. The device will have a built-in speaker and power supply that will be embedded as well. This touchscreen device will look like a small and handy box with clean cuts clubbed with minimalistic designing. It will also have a built-in dock for iPod touch and iPhone.
The screen design has found inspiration from Apple TV and the 5th generation iPod Nano interface that is user friendly. Apple Home has been wedged with black buttons. The outline of these buttons blushes in blue and also has a radial gradient in the central point.
Other Features:
A remote control is provided with the Apple Home which will help you control the device from any corner of your home and will definitely make life simpler. Charging it won’t be a task as well. The power adapter resembles an everyday Apple iPod/iPhone charger but the only difference is that comes embedded with a neon green light.
A device plug will be provided with Apple Home onto which all the appliances that need to be monitored will be plugged.
