Knocki is the 21st century Clapper
knocki,internet of things,connected home,the clapper
Knocki makes any surface interactive by letting you program knock patterns to do specific things. Three knocks can turn on your connected lights or TV, for example, or program an alarm. The difference between The Clapper and Knocki is that Knocki relies on an accelerometer as opposed to audio triggers. All it requires are four AAA batteries and a Wi-Fi connection.

#Knocki #21st #century #Clapper
I grew up in Jersey… hate Jersey accents
she is really awkward…
to be honest you suck when it comes to jokes..
really ? just really ?
So is it called Knocki or Knacki?
OK Google, knock 3 times for me please.…. Ultimate lazy.…
I went here only for the comments. I wasn’t disappointed.
knocking all the time wont annoy anyone.
$99 for a Knocki? I’ll just buy the Knockoff.
And when your knuckles have bled and healed into numerous disgusting red scars you decide that the wall switch is a very useful invention.
I would honestly prefer the clapper! what a fail
How about you just walk to your lamp and turn it on!
…uh…
maybe it’ll be good for drummers?
If you buy 2 they are called Knockers.
wouldn’t it just be easier to do this (control lights) with your smartphone
Knock to order pizza?
Laziness Level: Clapper
Somewhere at Amazon headquarters an Echo engineer just watched this video and made a note to add two 15 cent accelerometers to the next Amazon Echo…
Meanwhile, your neighbors think your nuts.
I want one, I would stick it on the back of my front door, and when people knock — it would wifi to start a ridiculous over the top peel of bell chimes. That would freak people out.
This was made for Frank Underwood.
Interesting product, but I fear my downstairs neighbours might not like all the knocking 🙁
knockee knotgonnabepopular
DOA
Pointless 😀
Why is it so large? Weird. You could easily build a MUCH smaller device to do this. Get a perf board, atmega chip, and some small sensors… MAKE.
yes because knocking on your table after 5 minutes won’t get annoying.
Downstairs neighbors will love your new Knocki!
well.. this will fail… beacause Google Home.
noisy not nocky
Why the hell would anyone want this? Speech recognition is becoming the standard now, this is honestly a step backwards.
Put it under your bed… DISCO!
It is slow, by the time it does these things someone could have manually done it.
You could however keep it on the table and it still would be a table… right? Also when u knock on wood something turns red or off. Made by men 4 sure!
I’m getting flashbacks of the old Mactini advertisements.
“If you want to enter ‘A’, you press [the only button] once.
For the letter Z, you press it, you guessed it, 26 times.
What about punctuation? Well, for a comma, I hold it down for four seconds… release it for two… and then, rat-a-tat-tat.”
XD seriously though this seems very silly. “Now, to turn up the airconditioner, that was three taps, then two… no wait I just sent a tweet”. Also, if you put glasses or whatever on the table it would probably register that as a knock.
So how exactly does it turn on the lamp? You need another device connected to the electricity grid at the lamp I suppose, which makes it a bit more expensive?
…And what about batteries? 🙂
Did not realize a product could be this horrible. I specifically signed into youtube, just to write that it is one the dumbest ideas ever.
I rather use my phone to control my lights and such and save $100
Can you still clap with it? I like the gesture.
There are lots of people on Kickstarter asking for refunds on this product because it was supposed to ship a year ago (December 2016) but as of today it still hasn’t hasn’t shipped yet.
This project is a kickstarter scam and they refuse to give refunds. It’s been years and there’s still no product, no updates and delays have been abundant. STAY FAR AWAY.
“it releases at the end of this year at the latest” aaaand it’s 2018
1:55 “When the Knocki ships at the end of this year at the latest” oh boy that was optimistic.
