SmartThings and Instacube are now officially a thing.

Published on Sep 5, 2012

"The integration of SmartThing's cloud-based platform with Instacube's Android-based system delivers the intelligence of SmartThing's capabilities to consumers via Instacube's simple and elegant UI."

Instacube and SmartThings announced a unique partnership between their two Kickstarter campaigns, both of which are just 2 weeks old and have already raised six figures each. Instacube, with its unique digital photo viewing technology, will integrate with the SmartThing's platform in order to give the user the ability to not only view the lives of the people they love, but sense and control the world around them.

The companies plan on working together to merge the benefits of SmartThings' SmartApps technology and Instacube's simple, connected Wi-Fi display. Instacube will provide an alternative interface for SmartThings notifications and apps, and in return, SmartThings will increase the functionality of Instacube.

Sure, we had to hop in a cab and take a rather expensive ride out into the boonies. But we had no option -- SmartThings had no official presence on the CES floor. Thankfully, the 45 minutes we spent in transit were not wasted. The company rented a rather opulent McMansion far from the strip and tricked it out with sensors, connected light bulbs, smart locks and cameras. It looked like the sort of place that was probably used as the set in a porn at some point, but on this day it was the location of a rather impressive connected home demo meant to showcase its new Labs program.

Wouldn't it be smart if... you could sense a leak before it got out of hand?

Wouldn't it be smart if you could sense a leak before it got out of hand? Well you can. It all starts with the SmartThings Hub. Just plug in the hub, place one of the included moisture sensors on the basement floor, and download the It's Leaking SmartApp from the SmartThings mobile platform. That's it. Your life just got smart.
