Wink: $79 Smart Home Fragmentation Solution

With the rise of smart homes, the fragmentation of this field has also begun to attract people's attention. And an American startup called Quirky thinks that the smart center that sells for only $79 (about 490 yuan) will solve this problem.

Quirky's smart hub is called Wink, which was jointly developed by them and GE. The device will be available at Home Depot and Amazon on July 7th, and promises to allow products that use different smart home standards to communicate with each other.

Wink supports Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Bluetooth, and Z-Wave, and devices connected to it can be controlled through a companion application. Wink's system is based on the alliance between Quirky and General Electric, but is now open to other companies.

Quirky currently has a number of Wink products on sale, and the new Smart Hub will expand this small ecosystem. The company told the New York Times that starting next month, 15 companies will launch nearly 60 Wink-compatible products, including well-known manufacturers such as Honeywell, Philips and General Electric. Some of these products will come with a "Wink app ready" tag for direct communication via Wi-Fi and Wink applications, while those that require a new smart hub will have "Win app compaTIble" It is compatible with Wink applications).

Automotive Cable

The automobile cable is a kind of connecting wire inside the automobile, which is mainly used for current transmission of batteries, instruments, lamps, etc. Due to the particularity of the automobile industry, the manufacturing process of automobile cables is also more special than other ordinary wires. In most cases, it is required that the car cable will be cold and high temperature resistant.


The selection principle of automobile wires is determined according to the insulation degree of wires, the current passing through and the required mechanical strength. For electrical equipment working for a long time, the conductor with 60% of the actual current carrying capacity can be selected; For electrical equipment that works for a short time, conductors with actual current carrying capacity between 60% and 100% can be selected. Automobile electric system belongs to low-voltage power supply, with large working current and voltage loss. Excessive voltage loss will affect the normal operation of electrical equipment. Therefore, when selecting the conductor section, it is necessary to ensure that the voltage loss does not exceed a certain value: 12V system is not more than 0.5V, 24V system is not more than 1.0V. The actual working current of the conductor shall not be greater than the allowable current carrying capacity of the conductor.
