With smart devices popping up left and right, the rush to go totally Smart House like the '90s Disney Channel movie can get overwhelming. These devices are super helpful, but it'd be nice if smart home life was more personalized, organized, and well, simpler.

A Kickstarter campaign aims to simplify smart modern living by transforming everyday objects into smart objects: meet CliQ, the smart wireless sensor that could turn virtually any object into a smart device for truly personalized automation.

CliQ is tiny yet mighty — attach it, assign when and where it works, and violà: previously manual tasks are now automated. More than just a smart button, this little square uses motion sensing tech to trigger automated actions in four different ways, depending on how the object is used. CliQ's infinite flexibility lets you control the world around you and make your life easier: program lights to turn off when you leave, turn on music when the car starts driving, alert you if your bike is stolen, and basically anything else you can think of.

If you're on the forgetful side, CliQ may be the nagging smart device that you need (in the most loving way possible.) Set reminders, keep up with healthy habits, safeguard the things that matter, and never forget to water plants or feed fur babies.

Say goodbye to keeping track of multiple apps for multiple smart devices and make your life easier, for real. Deliveries start in mid-2018 — back the campaign and get those early bird prices here.
