The Internet of Things (IoT) is seeing the home being filled with more devices than ever that require constant controlling, so the 'Smart Remote' concept has been created to offer an intuitive way to do so. The remote features a fashionable design that's ergonomic and fun to interact with when looking to control the lighting, window coverings and more. The remote opts for mood buttons instead of specific up or down buttons to let users choose from settings like Morning, Sleep, Wake, Game and more.
The 'Smart Remote' concept is the design work of Moorgen and is the winner of the 2019 iF Design Award. The style-conscious design of the remote makes it a device that users would be comfortable leaving around the house.
