An alarm clock? Cor! You know how to live, T3.
You’ll be singing a different tune once you’ve finished reading this, bucko... For your information, the Beddi is an app-enabled alarm clock-come-Bluetooth speaker that’ll rev you up in the mornings, chill you out in the evenings, and enable you to control your smart home from the comfort of your bed.
Oh yeah? How so?
Through a series of programmable smart buttons: the Beddi works with Philips Hue to control lighting, can talk to a Belkin WeMo Switch to get your coffee ready, and set your Nest Learning Thermostat so that your home is the perfect temperature, day or night.
Won’t the light from that display keep me awake, though?
Don’t worry, the Beddi has a ‘ fully off’ feature that dims the clock face so that your room is dark at night. If outside noise wakes you, use the Beddi’s built-in white-noise maker to mask it – choose from rainy night or humming fan sounds.
I bet it has an annoying alarm sound.
Depends on what you call annoying. The Beddi has Spotify integration, so you can choose your favourite playlist (even if it’s just one track) as your alarm. There’s also a sunrise simulator to wash your room in natural light, helping to stir you five minutes before your alarm kicks in.
Woah! Will it clean my toilet, too?
Nope, but it can order you a taxi. The Beddi has a one-touch Uber button, and it’ll even speak to tell you when the car has arrived.
That’s nuts! So when can I rise and shine?
The Beddi is available for pre-order now, with shipping set for June.
