If you’ve ever had to set up a wireless router, you know the pain of the router configuration screen. You’ve probably cursed at your fair share of wizards. And you’ve likely wondered if Internet access is even worth all the trouble.
Enter the Almond+: a touchscreen router and smarthome hub that completely eliminates the need to log onto your computer and mess around with CDs and drivers. Its embedded touchscreen and intuitive menus are designed to get you out of the box and onto the Internet in five minutes or less, simplifying home network setup.
A router and home automation system in one colorful package.
But it’s not just easy to use; Almond+ is also fast. At 1.17 Gb/s, Almond+ provides Gigabit Wireless speeds that are approximately four times faster than the current standard but is still backwards compatible with older wireless devices.
In addition to its capabilities as a router, Almond+ is also a home automation controller. Fully compatible with ZigBee and Z-Wave, the device supports existing sensors on the market from the Almond+ screen itself or from the company’s iOS and Android apps.
From simple home-management tasks, like turning the heat down, to more advanced security measures, like receiving alerts when a window is opened, the cloud-synced Almond+ is an efficient and easy-to-use core for any smart home.
The Almond+ is small and designed to look attractive in the home.
Designed to fit into the modern, automated home, the Almond+ is small, sleek and available in a variety of colors. It can rest on any flat surface or propped up on an included stand, and its unique recessed connector ports allow for easy wall mounting. The screen can be password locked to prevent others from changing your network settings.
The Almond+ may well turn out to be the second runaway product from Securifi, which experienced success with the original Almond touchscreen router. Within three months of its release, Almond became the best-rated router on Amazon.com.
The second-generation Almond offers more than double the range of its predecessor and supports home automation standards. Its Kickstarter campaign was more than three-quarters met within its first week of launch.
