OK, so it’s the app which is actually going to traffic monitoring and all the clever stuff. The Smarter app is available on iOS and Android devices. You’ll still have to fill the kettle with water of course, but it’ll take 1.8 litres – enough for 9 cups of tea or coffee. Then, via your app, you can get Live Temperature Updates and breaking news bulletins on your water level. There’s also a “Variable Temperature Mode” which gets the water to a preset temperature and a “Formula Mode” to get the water to exactly 100 degrees C – ideal for sterilising items. It’s £99.99 and available from Firebox.com.
If coffee is more your thing, they also have a WiFi-enabled coffee machine for £179.99. This is also controlled with the app and the machine will learn your daily routine. It also comes with a “Home Mode” and a “Wake Up” mode which will grind the coffee beans and boil the water at precisely the moment you need it. The app lets you adjust the strength of the coffee and you can keep the coffee hot for up to 35 minutes. Like the kettle, this will give you live updates on how much water is remaining.
The kettle just got ‘Smarter’
Boil the perfect cuppa anywhere with the innovative iKettle 2.0
London, UK – 3rd September 2015 –British company Smarter, which specialises in developing products for connected living, today announces the availability of the iKettle 2.0. Following the success of its predecessor (iKettle), the contemporary Wifi enabled iKettle 2.0 now features a compact form factor and an array of new functions that can be controlled remotely via the Smarter app on iOS and Android devices.
Allowing tea guzzlers to boil a kettle from anywhere in the home or office, wake up to the perfect brew or control the water’s temperature remotely, the iKettle 2.0 is a perfect addition to any kitchen. Intuitively learning how people live, the iKettle 2.0 and accompanying app caters to individual needs seamlessly in the background. New functions available on the Smarter app such as ‘Early Bird Mode’ ensure that mornings run as smoothly as possible, by monitoring traffic reports, the app automatically wakes users up earlier and starts boiling the kettle to coincide with this.
The stylish iKettle’s 1.8 litre capacity provides enough water for up to 9 cups of tea or coffee at a time. As a nation of hot drink lovers that wastes up to 33 hours* a year waiting for the kettle to boil the iKettle 2.0 will save valuable time. Other handy new features such as ‘Live Temperature Mode’ and ‘Water Level Mode’ offer live updates on how much water is in the kettle and how hot it is, whilst the new ‘Variable Temperature Mode’ ensures that users can select the water to boil at any temperature between 20-100c. Ideal for connoisseurs that drink an array of different hot drinks, this feature ensures that the water doesn’t burn the tea leaves or coffee for a perfect cuppa every time.
‘Formula Mode’ is another useful function that offers a helping hand to busy families with babies and young children. Allowing water to boil to 100c, thus sterilising the water, users can then pre define a temperature that they want to bring the water down to and keep it at that temperature. A useful function for parents that bottle-feed, this is an ideal time saving feature that is sure to be a godsend during the night feed.
Crafted out of high grade stainless steel, with red, black and beige options also available from October, this innovative kitchen accessory will suit all interior themes. The iKettle 2.0 also sees the return of many useful features such as ‘Wake Up Mode’ and ‘Home Mode’ that automatically boils a kettle once an alarm goes off in the morning or once individuals arrive at home after a long day at the office. ‘Keep Warm Mode’ ensures that water can be kept at a desired temperature once the kettle has finished boiling meaning that a comforting brew can always be to hand.
