AngelBlocks: Smart Blocks for Home Automation

In the past few months, we have covered plenty of ways you can make your home smarter and automate things. The AngelBlocks system is another awesome product that can help with that. These are smart wireless blocks that give you control over many things in your home. Here are just a few blocks available:

• AngelGate
• AngelTag
• AngelBridge
• AlarmBlock
• BBQBlock
• ContactBlock
• EnviroBlock
• GlowBlock
• LockBlock
• OutletBlock
• PlantBlock
• SmokeBlock
• WaterBlock

You can probably guess what some of these do by their name. AngelBlocks let you monitor things around your property. They can communicate 1000 feet indoors and 2 miles outdoors. Their battery lasts for 5 years. You can monitor your food, environment, plants, motion, smoke, and even get video clips to your mobile device.

AngelBlocks can notify you when a change happens in your environment. They provide support for your existing technologies such as WeMo, Ninja, Philips Hue and RadioThermoStat. The AngelBridge, an add-on-card for the AngelGate, adds support for Z-Wave and Zigbee. This is a smart system, so you can customize how these sensors behave when you are not home.

AngelBlocks have a gesture engine for you to interact with them. You can access their functions ib any smartphone using a browser. This smart system is on Kickstarter right now.
