iDevices® and Hubbell Incorporated Debut First Co-Developed Technology Products at the 2018 International Builders’ Show

iDevices partnered with two portfolio brands of parent company
Hubbell Incorporated to develop a Wi-Fi®
enabled electric vehicle charger and ceiling fan controller.

Both products will debut at the 2018 International Builders’ Show,
Booth #W5689

ORLANDO, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–iDevices, the preeminent brand in the connected home industry,
introduces the first two in a growing line of co-developed products
launched with other portfolio brands of parent company Hubbell
Incorporated. The Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger allows users to control,
monitor and schedule their charger from anywhere with their mobile
device, while the Ceiling Fan Switch gives users the ability to control
fan speed and lighting with their voice or mobile device.


“With these co-developed products, the first of many innovations to
come, we have successfully combined iDevices’ vast IoT expertise with
Hubbell’s 130 years of manufacturing and distribution experience,” said
Chris Allen, president and founder of iDevices. “Once a luxury for
homebuyers, smart homes have become the standard. Homeowners now expect
features like voice control and access to their home from anywhere. For
builders, integrating the right smart products is crucial to creating
meaningful differentiation in the eyes of homebuyers.”

The Ceiling Fan Switch, a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® enabled fan
controller, reinvents the traditional ceiling fan by adding smart
functionality through an elegantly designed wall switch and a canopy
receiver — allowing homeowners to control fan speed and lighting from
anywhere. Installation is seamless, as the Ceiling Fan Switch fits in a
traditional gang box and works with any standard rocker faceplate. It
was developed with Progress Lighting™, another leading brand
in the Hubbell Incorporated portfolio. Signature to all iDevices
products, the Ceiling Fan Switch operates on a hub-free system and works
with iOS and Android™ devices.

Homeowners can manage their fan’s speed and lighting with a simple voice
command to Siri®, Amazon Alexa or the Google Assistant.
Regular over-the-air updates make the Ceiling Fan Switch futureproof and
hands-off for builders once installed. Plus, iDevices’ Smart Home
Concierge service provides homebuyers with the ability to schedule
personalized set up sessions with smart home experts and receive ongoing
high-touch support. The Ceiling Fan Switch works with most ceiling fans,
features three speeds, energy monitoring, and control from anywhere with
the free iDevices Connected app.

The compact and powerful EV Charger gives homeowners the ability to
remotely control, monitor and schedule the charge of their vehicle from
anywhere with their mobile phone and the free iDevices Connected app.
Homeowners can track their vehicle’s charging status, get an instant
alert if their vehicle is unexpectedly unplugged and set custom charging
schedules and time delays.

The EV Charger doesn’t require a hub, works with Amazon Alexa and the
Google Assistant, and is compatible with both iOS and Android devices.
It is available in both hardwired and plug-in models, and mounts
directly to a home’s garage wall so homebuyer’s can move into a home
already set up to meet their electrical vehicle charging needs. The EV
Charger was developed with Hubbell Wiring Device-Kellems, a division of
Hubbell Incorporated.

“Hubbell chose to acquire iDevices because they are known for developing
quality, reliable IoT products that blend seamlessly into a consumer’s
life,” said Jim Van Hoof, VP of Growth & Innovation at Hubbell.
“Progress Lighting is known for stylish fans and lighting fixtures with
stellar performance, while Hubbell Wiring Device-Kellems pushes the
industry boundaries of electric vehicle charging stations. These new
products represent Hubbell’s commitment to technological excellence and
they are the result of effectively leveraging the innovational synergies
that exist across our brands. This type of end-user focused
collaboration is what will drive the next phase of the smart home
evolution for homeowners and homebuilders alike.”

The Ceiling Fan Switch and EV Charger will be available in 2018.
