Sentri: home security system for geeks





In general, intelligent security system are nothing new, there are already several similar projects with approximately equal functionality.

So developers Sentri went a little different way, and added the ability to integrate into their system other smart devices, including the well-known thermostat Nest , smart switch and outlet Wemo, no less clever bulb Hue and lock Lickitron. In general, fans of different kinds of devices can be satisfied.



Nevertheless, Sentri can operate completely autonomously, without being connected to other devices, the functionality of the system is maintained.

The design and capabilities of the device h4>
 

Device - a square, with sides 9 4 9 * 4 inches, and almost the entire outer side devaysa is the display. Through this Sentri can be confused with an unusual photo frame, well, or hours, if you set the appropriate mode.



Device and in fact can work Picture Frame + Weather station, although, of course, its capabilities are much broader.



The main features of this device: h5>
  • Motion Detection;
  • The adaptation of the system to the user mode;
  • The definition of temperature;
  • Moisture;
  • Definition air quality;
  • Weather Forecast;
  • Light detection;
  • The night vision;
  • Broadcast and receive audio / video.
     

    Developers equip your device, among other things, microphone and speaker, so you can always talk to your pet, instead of Skype, or try to impress your cat, for example, lie on your laptop in your absence - not good.

    According to the developers, the data transfer is in secure mode, encryption level of 2048 bit RSA. This - the standard for most banking transactions.

    How it works? H4>
     

    We have already mentioned that the device adapts to the operation / life owner. And the device can "understand", through time, the lamp that burns in an empty room at 12 o'clock - it is abnormal. Next Step - notification request on this event. Furthermore, the system can warn the unexpected discovery door to raise the temperature or humidity of the air quality problems.



    Management / device in the house is via an application for smartphones. Now ready version for Android OS and iOS. To operate the device must be wireless Wi-Fi network. Accordingly, if the wireless network problems, "reach out" to the owner of the system can not.

    As mentioned above, the device can control and other intelligent devices that were previously acquired by the owner. Soon developers should add compatibility with SmartThings, Snugr Thermostat and Ninja Sphere.

    This system is likely to be called one of the first attempts to integrate third-party solutions in a single center. In fact, smart devices - a great many, but few that are compatible with each other. Perhaps in the future, developers and other systems will try to ensure the empowerment of their devices through the modules / units of other developers.

    Price and order h4>
     Sentri price can not be called low. Pre-order can be made at a price of 249 US dollars, and there are other solutions to the lineup, but they differ from it only in design. Pre-order can be made at developers . Also, notification of a device in sale in Russia can be requested from Medgadgets .
