This is the second part of my Homey Review. Do check out the first part, Homey Review – Unboxing & Setup, if you have not done so.
Homey Desktop App
Homey Desktop app is a beautiful designed app. In my opinion, it has the best UI/UX for a smart home device.
Homey is a smart home hub that supports a wide range of wireless technology by Athom.
It started out as a Kickstarter project on 28th May 2014.
Launched last month, the UE BOOM is a 360° Bluetooth wireless speaker which is water resistant and even shock proof. It is out in stores retailing for S$299 and available in 4 colors (Blue, Red, Black and White).
My first impression of UE BOOM is the sound is loud and the bass is pretty good, the only downside is that it is a little pricey.
Saw MobileSquare selling the Samsung TecTiles NFC Tags for S$10 and I immediately went down and bought it because the original RRP is S$28.
Samsung TecTiles NFC Tags is just another brand of NFC tags, just like the NFC Tags by Tapway which I reviewed back in November 2012.
Always wanted to play with NFC tags to see how some tasks can be automated.
I am using iPhone 5 which does not comes with NFC capability, but for my work phone, I am using the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (LTE) which does come with NFC capability. Samsung has it’s own brand of NFC Tags called Samsung TecTiles, but unfortunately it will not be available in Singapore till mid-December 2012.
Been waiting for this! Right now the NFC feature on my Galaxy Nexus is pretty useless, it can only read EZ-Link cards. But in the future, we can finally take public transport and pay using our mobile phones!
