smanos K1 empowers property owners to transform their home into a smart and secure one, wirelessly and effortlessly. With the use of just a smartphone app, users can set up, control, adjust and monitor their K1-enabled devices, watch over their home and family, and even answer their door anywhere, anytime.

The K1 is smanos's latest wireless, integrated smart home and security gateway, combining butler- and guard-like functions into a stack of esthetically pleasing round discs, due for release in Q2 of 2016. Directly from the box, smanos K1 offers intuitive on-site as well as remote smartphone operation of up to 50 connected, wireless, DIY-friendly devices, including home security detectors (door/window and intrusion/motion), environmental sensors (flood and smoke), WiFi HD cameras and an audio/video-enabled doorbell/phone. The innovative design, build quality, power and affordability of the K1 smart home solution are the result of in-depth research into the functional and esthetic expectations of "smart" homeowners of today and tomorrow. The hub and accessories are elegantly futuristic in appearance, with aluminum frames and texturized plastic surfaces built to withstand everyday use for years to come.

The easily scalable K1 system is mount-and-play, and adding/removing features and sensors is just like adding/removing smartphone apps. With such intuitive operation and wireless expandability, smanos K1 ensures that your smart, secure and connected home is that much more achievable, adorable and affordable. A proud winner of Red Dot 2015: Product Design and Computex d&i Gold Award, smano -- through strategic alliances -- is now Apple HomeKit certified and Z-Wave/Google Thread/IFTTT compatible, and the powers of K1-enabled smart homes will be virtually limitless.

Benefits to the Homeowner

Harnessing minimalistic yet futuristic design and cutting-edge technology, smanos K1 delivers the ultimate user experience of a wireless smart home and DIY security system to households worldwide. Promising more than just a sense of security, the K1 also ensures user-definable comfort and convenience, along with mobile accessibility and visual confirmation, putting the smarts of smart home and smart security directly in everyday end users' hands. Every time you interact with the K1 -- on-site or on your smartphone anywhere in the world -- the sounds, light indicators, touch controls and images will guarantee you and your family members complete peace of mind and a thoroughly enjoyable smart home experience.

All K1 sensors and accessories are wireless and battery-powered, saving you from the headaches of costly wiring/cabling and the need to remodel/decorate. The K1 is easy to expand to meet even the most demanding residential security needs, and can simply be taken with you if you move to a new location, protecting your investment in home security and automation. The K1 hub and all major system components are similarly shaped to work in disguise, as they were designed to blend in with most residential decors while providing top-notch security and automation capabilities. For example, while the PIR motion detector gives the appearance of a modern thermostat, it is in fact a dual-lens, pet-friendly, high-precision sensor with adjustable sensitivity levels on the smartphone app. The power consumption of these wireless sensors was optimized with advanced algorithms to ensure 2 to 3 years of battery life.
