Lenovo launches a series of products at Tech Life event
At the company’s annual Tech Life event, Lenovo has unveiled a series of new smart home, laptop and AR devices, which aim to transform technology to make them more productive for consume- rs.
Lenovo Smart Home Essentials is a new family of connected devices that address today’s fragmented smart device landscape. Lenovo’s family of connected home essentials — and the recently launched Lenovo Smart Display — signal the company’s growing and multiplatform AI ecosystem and ambitions in the smart home category.
The Lenovo Link app is a centralised control centre to set up and manage all applicable devices, as opposed to an individual app for each device. Users can control specific groups of devices at once or automate them to make certain actions at specific times during the day. Lenovo Smart Home Essentials work with the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. Customers can also set up, automate and control various aspects of the home with their voice using the Lenovo Smart Display as a control hub.
Lenovo Smart Essentials includes: Lenovo Smart Plug — A small device that can be plugged into any open outlet, letting users control any compatible device that’s plugged into it.
Lenovo Smart Camera — A smart surveillance camera that lets you monitor live video footage inside the home — even at night — through infrared night vision. Its built- in mic and speaker allow for two- way audio capability.
Lenovo Smart Bulb — A smart light bulb that lets users remotely schedule and customise lighting — adjusting colour temperature and dim brightness, or turning it on and off from anywhere and at any time through the Lenovo Link app.
The Lenovo Smart Essentials range of products will be available starting in the US in November and is expected to expand to other markets including EMEA and Australia later. Lenovo Smart Display is expected to be available in Australia and the UK starting October. 9
