Efter fire år i udviklingen har det selskab, der blev grundlagt af den 22 år gamle Yasser Khattak, 17 på det tidspunkt, rejst over £ 5 mio Elektronikproduktion. Den har designet, kontrolleret og bygget det mest inkluderende udvalg af smarte hjemmeprodukter, der er tilgængelige på markedet, mens de ikke ændrer udseendet og følelsen af de produkter, der allerede er installeret i hjem.
Den’s produktsortiment kan betjenes på væggen som sædvanligt ved hjælp af en Android- eller iOS -smartphone -app eller gennem en Amazon Echo eller Google Assistant.
Mesh Network
Den bruger IEEE 802.15.4-protokollen, som er et ‘lavhastigheds trådløst personligt områdnetværk’ (LR-WPAN). Dette 2,4 GHz trådløst mesh-netværk oprettes for at eksistere sammen med Wi-Fi og ligner meget Zigbee …
Vores produkter bruger en skræddersyet trådløs protokol bygget på IEEE 802.15.4, som ikke kun bruger meget lidt energi, men også tillader vores stikkontakter at kommunikere med hinanden ved hjælp af et meshing-system. Som et resultat kan rækkevidden udvides til at dække et stort område, der er forudsat at hver enhed er inden for rækkevidde fra en tilsluttet stikkontakt. Vi anbefaler at placere huben i en central del af huset og derefter placere det første sæt stikkontakter inden for 15 meter fra huben. Derudover kan stikkontakter og kontakter derefter installeres inden for 15 meter fra hinanden.
Vi spurgte den om, at der er planer om at integrere med Zigbee -enheder, og de fortalte os …
Den bruger en skræddersyet protokol, der ikke er interoperabel med ZigBee-systemer. Vi er meget opmærksomme på, at IoT uden integration og økosystempartnerskaber er en falsk start, og vi er ivrige efter at støtte en række ofte anvendte platforme i fremtiden, ligesom vi støtter Amazon Alexa og Google Home.
Strømforbrug
Hver individuelle stikkontakt består af overvågning af strømforbrug, så du kan se, hvor meget energi hvert apparatis using. Power consumption for the Den devices themselves is less than 1.0 Watt for the sockets and less than 0.4 Watt for their light switches.
Cloud Connected
You’ll need Internet access to reach the Den Cloud service for the initial system setup and to control the system when you are away from your house. however once inside your home the system can work without the Cloud connection supplying you’re on the same network.
Flick of a Switch
Perhaps the most interesting USP of the Den system is how its 2-way communication is implemented.
With other systems there can be confusion as physical switches and their status in an app or other control software can get out of sync. However, with Den the physical switch actually flicks on the wall too as you operate it remotely. This is accomplished with magnets by means of their patented technology.
The click sound the switches make maybe the only minor downside of this idea, although it’s hard to gauge how loud it is from enjoying the videos below.
The wall mount modules require a 35mm back box and a 10 mm adapter is included with each Light switch and Socket outlet so you’re still ok if you only have a 25mm boxes.
The App
With the Den app you can schedule your lights to turn on and off at certain times. You can also set up multiple timers and schedules per day, for each appliance and Light Switch. We asked if there are any future plans for a a lot more feature rich app that will be paid for or have in-app purchase etc?
We are working on adding a lot more features to our app that will be announced soon – we may begin charging for a lot more premium features in the future.
We then asked if there are any future pans for a subscription fee for the Cloud service?
Possibly in the future, however any individual who gets our products before we publicise that will not need to pay if we do start charging.
Smart Tags
Den smart identifies are a novel feature that use a thin overlay that sits on the prongs of your plug to identify the appliance that’s in use.
They appear to use NFC / RFID and we asked Den to explain more…
Den smart identifies are used to identify and keep track of an appliances and its location, even if it moves around the house in and out of various Den Sockets. The smart identifies use a similar technology to the one found in contactless payment or Oyster cards, they communicate with our Den Sockets. They are the best option to accurately identify the location of your appliances even when they step around.
Neutral?
Checking the FAQ it seems that a neutral wire is not required for the current modules.
Our switches will be direct replacements for your existing light switches and work with standard UK lighting circuits. We use novel and proprietary technology which indicates that we don’t require a neutral wire in the back box. However, there is an earth terminal on the Light switch that needs to be connected to an earth wire, in buy for the Light switch to function.
We asked Den if their new Smart Dimmer Switch, promised for Q2 2019, will require a neutral, but they would only say…
We will be publishing final dimmer specs in the coming weeks
Integration?
The most current round of funding for Den saw a £2M investment (bringing the total to £5M) and the company says the money will be used to bring additionally integrations to the system.
The most current round of funding will be used in the production of the next range of devices for the home, which will include Den’s smart Dimmer switches as well as the entire range with chromed metal finishes. funds will also be used to expand operations and the team, to enable additionally product integrations such as Homekit and explore opportunities with additionally integrations like IFTTT.
We asked Den if there was any ETA for the IFTTT and HomeKit integration?
No ETA, our team is hard at work on HomeKit which is substantially a lot more complex than other integrations and we will be announcing other ecosystem partnerships in the future.
