Lychee Things SmartSlydr

September 24, 2021

San Francisco Bay area-based company Lychee Things has introduced SmartSlydr, an innovative, easy-to-install secure complete IoT (Internet of Things) solution to automate any home’s sliding windows and doors through using a convenient smartphone app or with voice activation.

With a patent-pending design, SmartSlydr is a small WiFi-enabled robot that attaches easily to any existing sliding door or window frame and blends in with a home’s interior and surroundings. Featuring a powerful internal motorized mechanism, SmartSlydr safely opens or closes windows or doors without damaging them.

SmartSlydr can be activated from the comfort of the couch with a smartphone (iOS and Android compatible), voice command paired with voice assistant speakers, such as Alexa, Google Home, Siri, or by the push of a remote control button.

SmartSlydr can have an impact on improving indoor air quality, pet care and even with preventing potential home burglaries. Top features and benefits of SmartSlydr include:

• Automate Any Sliding Door or Window: Turns a home’s existing sliding doors and windows into an automatic open and close system. Doors and windows are an essential part of our homes but due to our busy lives, we forget to use them often. SmartSlydr makes them convenient to use.

• Monitor and Operate Remotely: Operate or check on single or multiple windows and doors with a click on the smartphone app from anywhere. By setting the device’s away mode, all the windows and doors will go to close position. You can also get notifications on your smartphone about your home’s door or window activity.
• Built-in Security: Keeps the doors and windows locked when closed without any extra accessories. This gives you priceless peace of mind when you are asleep or on vacation. The system is also equipped with industry-standard software security protection. Think of SmartSlydr as power windows for your home. The locking mechanism is similar to a car power window. The window stays in place where it’s left. When the window is closed, it remains closed and locked even if the default window latch lock is open.
• Refresh Home Air Quality: Makes it easier to automatically let fresh air into your home once or several times a day with the device’s timer and scheduling features. You can set the timer to open or close your windows or doors at a certain time. This can help to close a window at night without your needing to wake up to shut it. With the scheduling function, you can set a weekly time for opening and closing your windows. Ensuring proper ventilation with outside air can help reduce indoor airborne contaminants, such as COVID-19.
• Virtual Pet Care: Transforms the patio door into a pet door with PetPass, a wireless tag that attaches to a pet collar. Ideal for pet owners who may have a cat, dog or other pet who needs to be let outside daily. When a pet stands near the door, SmartSlydr can open it or close immediately allowing pets to enter and exit your residence on their own. The feature also has a “send request mode” for unsecured environments. Instead of opening the door automatically, an alert will be sent to the owner’s smartphone to approve the door’s opening.

• Accessibility: Provides easy hands-free control to those who may have difficulty with opening and closing sliding doors and windows.
• Easy Installation: No power tools are required, and SmartSlydr can be installed in a matter of minutes.
• Durable:  Accelerated testing on SmartSlydr prototypes has proven its durability beyond five years or more. With production-quality parts, it is designed to last for much longer.
