Your smart home now fits in the palm of your hand. Archii Remote is a small rotary controller with a round screen, built to work with your Alexa Echo Hub. Turn the dial to choose a scene, then press to set it off: Morning, Movie, Dinner or All Off. Your lights, plugs and other devices respond straight away. You don’t have to unlock your phone, say a voice command or walk over to the wall. It works with the Alexa setup and devices you already have, so there’s no second hub to buy.
Archii Remote is designed in Brighton and Hove. It has a clean black screen with large, clear icons and a coloured ring that shows what’s happening. A small tick confirms each action. It’s made to look as good on your coffee table as it feels in your hand. We’re putting the finishing touches on it now. Sign up to be the first to hear when it launches.
I’ve left out a launch date and price on purpose, because the remote is still a working prototype.
