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.

The Linksys EA9300 Max-Stream AC4000 Tri-Band Router was launched in August 2017 and is currently retailing for S$399.

The EA9300 is not the highest end router from Linksys, that title still belongs to EA9500.

Finally gotten my hands on Google Wifi.

Google Wifi was launched officially in Singapore on 31st August 2017 through a partnership with StarHub. Singapore is the first country in Southeast Asia to introduce Google Wifi.

Aztech AIR-706P is the first mesh router from Aztech that was launched in July 2017 and is retailing for S$269.

The AIR-706P is a budget router that can expand its range using another AIR-706P via mesh network rather than a wi-fi extender.

AXTRO Smart is the exclusive distributor for TrackR products in Singapore.

TrackR is a Santa Barbara, CA-based startup company that specialized in personal item management.

uHoo is a indoor air toxin sensor that was launched in April 2017. They started shipping within the same month to their corporate customers as those are their primary target audience. For the general consumers like us, they started shipping in June 2017.

After raising a seed round from East Ventures in May 2015, in May 2016 they started an Indiegogo project to crowfund the initial preorders. It a raised a total of US$81,065 out of their initial goal of US$50,000 from 404 backers.

I guess most people have not heard of the brand Freecam before. If you tried Googling for the word “freecam”, you would chance upon a lot of NSFW links. I wished they have a better name.

Freecam is a security camera brand targetted at consumers by LSVT.

Ambi Climate was launched on Kickstarter on 7th October 2014, got funded on 14th November 2014 and shipped out to backers on 28th August 2015. You can checkout my review of Ambi Climate.

Close to three years later, Ambi Climate (2nd Edition) is being launched again on Kickstarter. Its funding campaign is looking to raise HK$390,000 (S$69,600), and it will end on 22nd June 2017.
