This intelligent night light is killing it on Kickstarter
Smart home tech is having a moment, and we don't see it slowing down anytime soon. These days we have everything from pizza ordering devices and dog monitoring cameras to robots that can make pancakes.
Enter: the smart night light.
Zing is an intelligent, AI-powered night light that's currently killing it on Kickstarter — and for good reason. This is miles beyond the night lights we all grew up with.
Fully compatible with iPhone, Android, Alexa, and Google Assistant, Zing's motion sensors can inform you via smartphone alert when there's movement in a room and can act as a visual indicator for incoming calls and other smartphone events. When you position multiple Zing lights throughout your house, you're essentially creating a little runway that learns (and predicts) your regular paths — like that 3am bathroom visit.
