Together with the agreement, Qualcomm and Arduino introduced a new board for Arduino UNO automation enthusiasts, the Arduino UNO Q. The board has two processors: Qualcomm Dragonwing QRB2210, capable of running Linux and oriented towards complex calculations (for example, computer vision processing) and a microcontroller for real-time calculations (for controlling movement or other devices). The board is designed for calculations of computer vision tasks, sound processing, and automation in smart homes, industry, and robotics. With the new board, Arduino is set to compete with Raspberry Pi.
Once such locks could only be seen in James Bond films and the Mission Impossible series. As a last resort, a code lock could be used, for example, by Arnold Schwarzenegger's character, John Mattrix, for his gun safe. This gave films a flavour of inaccessibility, secrecy and high technology. Now they can be bought and installed in your home (or office), almost anyone. And it's not even that you are thus joining the film world of CIA agents, but that such locks eliminate the need to carry the key with you all the time (and, consequently, the chance of losing it). In addition, a modern lock like the SwitchBot Lock Pro allows, together with optional accessories, maximum flexibility for each user: create temporary and disposable keys, open the lock in a dozen ways, enable voice control of the smart home. And even send an alarm by opening the lock with a special code, for situations where this is done under duress.

The Ukrainian company Ajax Systems — a developer of the similarly named security systems — presented an updated version of its security system. Just a couple of years ago, the company directed all its efforts toward the development of a "smart" house based on the idea that their system (sold, by the way, in European markets as well) is a good foundation for new functions. In the current update, Ajax added automation scenarios to its own OS Malevich operating system that allow you to perform certain actions during "scenario" cases. The functions of the Button were expanded, and a new MotionCam motion detector with photo verification was released. Now it is also possible to connect several ReX range extenders to one hub. In this review, I will share my impressions of the update.
Smartbands are a quite strange invention. They are like to exist for years but still useless. Despite they are useless they are sold quite well. So if you decided to waste some money for one, just stop and ready what we’re going to tell you. Then, think. A Smartband at the present time is rather harm than good. It will not make your life better. And here is why.
