Connected Home Control with the Push of a Button
Logitech (SIX:LOGN) (NASDAQ:LOGI) today announced its next
generation programmable button for simple smart home control—the
POP Smart Button. The new POP Smart Button will work with Apple
HomeKit, expanding the ability to control even more connected
devices and provide all of the features and functionality offered
in the first generation. With just a push, you can turn off the
lights, lock the door, turn up the heat, and more without ever
moving from your couch.
This Smart News Release features multimedia.

“Today’s smart home is about bridging simplicity with a more
shared experience,” said Renee Niemi, vice president and general
manager of Logitech Smart Home. “We are passionate about enabling
customers to get the most versatility and entertainment within
their connected homes. Adding Apple HomeKit to POP allows us to
provide even more ways to simplify access to your HomeKit-enabled
home for the entire family to enjoy.”
The Logitech POP Smart Button Kit includes one smart button with
three gestures to customize your control plus the POP bridge needed
to connect the button onto a WiFi network. Users can then extend
control throughout their home with additional POP Add-on Smart
Buttons, available in four colors—White, Alloy, Coral, and Teal.
Each POP bridge can connect to an unlimited number of buttons.
Using POP Smart Button with Apple HomeKit is easy when paired
with Apple’s Home app—POP already comes pre-paired, so discovering
the device with the Home app is simple and secure. Just configure
the scenes you want and let POP do the rest. Whether turning down
the lights to get ready for bed or opening your smart blinds to
expose some daylight, POP gives easy control to the whole
family.
POP Smart Button can also be used with non-HomeKit devices such
as Sonos wireless music systems, or Logitech Harmony hub-based
remote controls by using the companion Logitech POP app. In
addition to compatibility with Apple HomeKit, the Logitech POP
Smart Button offers the ability to control Osram lighting, Hunter
Douglas and Lutron blinds, and more, extending interoperability
beyond existing integrations including August, Philips Hue, and
Logitech Harmony.
Availability
The Logitech POP Smart Button Kit ($59.95) and POP Add-on Smart
Button ($39.95) will be available exclusively at Apple stores
and Apple.com soon. Availability in other retailers will
come later this year. If you own the first generation POP Home
Switch, you can update your software to take advantage of new
non-HomeKit integrations. For more information, please visit
Logitech.com, our blog or connect with us on Facebook, Twitter and
