RAHWAY, N.J. – June 12, 2018 - iHome, the leader in award-winning speakers, portable devices and smart home control solutions, today announces two color changing music system options, iBT297 bedside Bluetooth clock radio and iBT751 portable Bluetooth speaker, that feature iHome’s Smart Button. When connected to a Bluetooth mobile device the Smart Button works as a one-touch preset for music services such as Spotify, Apple Music and iHeartRadio and can be programmed to control many popular smart home devices using IFTTT integration.
IFTTT (IF This Then That) is a smart home platform that connects virtually all popular smart home devices. With IFTTT users can program the Smart Button to control devices like lights and thermostats with a touch of the button. It can even trigger a combination of these activities with a single press. The Smart Button also works seamlessly with iHome SmartPlugs. There are also preset options for short and long presses of the Smart Button.
In addition to bridging the gap between music system and IoT device, both new systems offer an array of useful features and unique eye-pleasing LED light patterns that can be easily configured via the iHome Enhance app for iOS and Android.
“IFTTT support has been one of the features most requested by our customers,” explained iHome Director of Marketing Evan Stein. “Today, we’re proud to deliver on that request and let iHome customers harness the power of IFTTT to control virtually any device or application right from their iHome music system.”
iBT297 – App-enhanced Color Changing Dual Alarm Clock Radio with Smart Button
Featuring a futuristic, translucent, spherical, tabletop design and adjustable LED case illumination, users can change the color of their alarm clock to fit their mood. It supports push-button access to Siri and Google Assistant, providing users access to their smartphone’s built-in voice assistant. It also allows users to control their music and stream from services like iHeartRadio*, Spotify** and more via Melody voice assistant app. The iBT297 truly “shines” as an alarm clock and can wake users with Bluetooth audio, FM radio or four pre-set alarm tones. It also has seven wake-to-light modes that complement the audible alarm with visual stimulation. As a music player, the iBT297 features an integrated FM tuner with six preset options and has Bluetooth for streaming music from smartphones or tablets.
