The 'HomTime C1pro' is a multifunctional alarm clock that does more than just tell you the time. While it may look like you standard bedside clock, this clever gadget can gauge a room’s temperature, play music and charge your USB devices.

The makers of the HomTime C1pro describe it as the perfect "[bedside companion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bedside-assistant)" because of the multitude of smart features wrapped up into one tiny product. The multifunctional alarm clock is designed for personalization, allowing you to adjust the brightness of the screen, minimize nighttime glow, play your own music and charge your devices. All of these features are contained in a user-friendly device that also displays the time and temperature.

The company is currently running a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cycling-devices) campaign to bring the HomTime C1pro to market by September of this year.
