Serenity from Artefact Group is a dedicated device and interface that changes the way we interact with our home environment. It is a cohesive system of ubiquitous devices that can not only provide consumptive awareness but also allow the user to toggle through a range of home-control and automation functions. It combines the advantages of mobility with the fixed dedication of current home controls.
Serenity is an extensible set of e-ink tablet-like devices that responds to touch and proximity. Each one provides a window into the various facets of home automation. Sensors detect temperature, light, sound, moisture, and airflow. The devices are also contextually aware of what room they are in as you carry one throughout the home. The system can also be accessed outside the home through a mobile device experience.
The software combines awareness (reporting), control, and context. Reporting and status awareness are provided through artful and engaging interactive visualisations. Controls are kept minimal to connect with the architecture and please the eye. Context is provided by both descriptive menu systems and the device’s location within the home. Serenity, with its holistic approach to home control and connectivity, and its empathy-centric design, builds stronger and more emotional connection with our homes. [via]
