Talk or type
We believe in putting the user in control of everything. With Thing • Connect you can control your Devices, Groups and Spotify easily and on your own terms. Mix in Colors for more fun. No conversation, just tell us what you want to happen and when it should happen — we’re listening. It’s as easy as that.
Feel like talking? Perfect, hit Talk and say what you want to happen. Feel like typing instead? Awesome, hit Type and get at it. The choice is yours.
You can even add global Hotkeys — a key combination you press to automatically trigger Talk or Type. Minimise Thing • Connect to the Tray (Windows) or Menubar (Mac) and you have what is probably the best digital companion — out of your way, streamlined and listens only when you want it to.
Name your Devices, Groups and Colors however you want and talk or type to control them. Don’t worry about spelling it exactly right – we will find the best match for you regardless.
Agents
Your customised command library that enhances your day to day life. Make timed or recurring commands shorter and easier to say. Instead of using commands such as “turn off everything and stop the music“, create an agent that covers all that and reacts on a single command or word e.g. “Order 66” or just plainly “Off“.
To fire it just use Talk or Type and then say/type “Run Off” or “Execute Order 66“. It’s as easy as that. Powerful and flexible, 100% you.
Spotify
Possibly the best way to let music be a natural part of your lifestyle. No more fiddling in the Spotify app changing playlists or playing next song. Use easy commands such as “Play Discover Weekly”, “Play the next track”, “Set the volume to max”, “Play something by my favorite artist” or why not get a voice replying to “What’s playing right now?”
Connect Spotify with a single click — we’ll take care of the rest.
Devices
Control your devices from one place in an intuitive way instead of relying on multiple apps to do the same thing. Thing • Connect allows you to finally use all your devices regardless of manufacturer. Minimise the hassle of your smart home. You deserve to be in charge.
Say goodbye to generic manufacturer labeled names of your devices and hello to your own, custom names. Instead of controlling LifX A19 or BR30 or Tradfri bulb E27 CWS opal 600lm (1.3.009), wouldn’t it be awesome to have lamps called Spotlight by the fireplace or Corner light next to the TV or even something short like Steve?
Groups
Thing • Connect allows you to focus on building that perfect mood that fits your lifestyle, regardless of manufacturer. No more dealing with multiple apps just to adjust several devices at once. Group them, name the group and adjust the entire group easily, such as “Turn on Romantic Red” or “Set the color to red on Living Room“.
Colors
With Thing • Connect you can have total control over your favorite colors. Naturally set the lights to a color of your choice by saying something like “set the color to kermit in the living room“. No need to be limited by the default colors by the manufacturer. Make your house yours.
Places
With Places, you can get up to date weather information for all your favorite locations. We will automatically try to find your current city to show you your local weather too.
We’re super proud and excited about Thing • Connect and we sincerely hope you’ll like it too. In fact, we’d love to hear what you think — good or bad! We take every opportunity to improve so feel free to get in touch or just email us at hello@thing.se.
