Originally a Kickstarter project, nCube Home is a smart home hub and app to control a wide range of smart devices from a single place. Andrew interviews Myriam from nCube and finds out why nCube is a little bit different from the rest.

Like most of the competitors, the nCube Home is a small network connected box with a complementary app that communicates with sensors and other devices using Z-Wave. Unlike the competitors, it's blue. More seriously, the nCube retains all the logic and actions within the nCube box rather than receiving instructions from an external portal, so even if the network connection goes down, activity goes on as normal. The nCube Home integrates with over 70 different IoT devices so the chances are that if it's a Z-Wave capable device, the hub will work with it.

The nCube Home is shipping shortly (if it isn't already). The normal price from nCube is GB£149 but there's a £99 Wearable Show offer on until the end of the week (25th March).

By way of awards, the nCube Home won the IoT Wearable Award at the Wearable Technology Show this year. Well done.
