<p><span class="minor2 small gray">RoomMe presence sensor works with HomeKit</span></div>
<p>Currently, with HomeKit, lights can be triggered by motion which could include pets or other inadvertent triggers. <a href="https://www.getroomme.com">RoomMe</a> can identify people and make adjustments based on who that person is. </p>
<p>The RoomMe system identifies the specific user by spotting the app on a carried smartphone. A mounted Personal Location Sensor —or PLS —does the identification and executes personalized room-level scenes incorporating lighting, temperature, entertainment, and more.</p>
<p>RoomMe integrates not only with HomeKit devices, but Wink and Sensibo bringing together hundreds of Z-Wave and Zigbee devices.</p>

<p>“Sensors make the difference between a home that just has a few smart devices installed and a true smart home. Sensors, by name, sense what is happening,” said Oren Kotlicki, founder and CEO at Intellithings. “With RoomMe, we take that idea a step further: This is not a sensor that is triggered by a pet to turn on a light, but a personal location sensor that knows who is in the room and what that person wants the room to do, automatically.” </p>
<p>As an example, when a user enters the living at night, it could close the blinds, lower the lights, set the thermostat to their desired temperature, warm the light’s color, turn on the TV to a user’s preferred input, and adjust the volume. Each of those variables can be unique to each person.</p>
<p>Intellithings won a 2019 Innovation Design Honoree award earlier this year at CES for the RoomMe PLS.</p>
<p>The RoomMe PLS is available as a starter kit for $129 and includes two RoomMe sensors as well as access to the smartphone app. It is available for order <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RZXQ7FB/?tag=reality" rel="nofollow">now on Amazon</a>.</p>
