Regardless of what you call it – the connected home, the smart home, or the Internet of Things – the future is coming where almost everything inside your home is connected. Soy is selling a new way to talk to your home<\/a>. How exactly can you \u2018talk\u2019 to your home? For Soy, you control and interact with your smart home through messaging. Users message Soy to control and interact with their smart home. <\/p>\n

No jargon necessary<\/h2>\n

One of the most unique features of Soy is that it works with natural language. That is to say, users message Soy in natural language, to control and interact with their Smart Home. This means if you want to turn your lights off, all you have to do is message Soy, \u201cturn off the lights.\u201d Similarly, if you want to setup a schedule to turn your lights on everyday at 8pm, all you have to do is message Soy to \u201cturn on lights everyday at 8pm.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s that simple. You don\u2019t have to mess with specific jargon or nomenclature that isn\u2019t intuitive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to their website, \u201cSoy was born with the idea that your Smart home is more than a collection of Smart Devices inside your house. Instead, your Smart Home is a friend and assistant that makes your life easier. Soy is that friend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Works with the Smart Things hub<\/h2>\n

As of now, a lot of smart home devices aren\u2019t as intuitive or easy to use. Most require you to dig through layers of pages, buttons and rules to perform simple or complex tasks. Likewise, they also aren\u2019t integrated so you can control them right from your phone or smart device. <\/p>\n

At this time, Soy works with the Smart Things hub. These include Android, August, Hue, iOS, Lifx, Samsung, SmartThings, SMS, Telegram, Wink, ZigBee, and Zwave. Other products are expected to be added in the future.<\/p>\n

Visit their website<\/a> to find out more information. If you want to receive the latest updates on Soy, you can join their mailing list by signing up for the beta. This way you can make sure you\u2019re always in the know on this nifty smart home device.<\/p>\n
