What better way to start or organize your smart home than with something as familiar as an outlet?
Swidget is not an ordinary outlet. Installed using your home’s existing wiring, Swidget provides an ever-growing suite of inserts to make your home a smart home. Whether you are looking to clean up your existing technology, expand your smart home, or figure out where to start, Swidget is a simple solution that is future-proof and has the capability to work with all smart home platforms.
Through our minimalist design, we want to eliminate the need for clunky hardware in your home. We believe that Swidget will bring your home to life with the snap of an insert, creating a fully customizable experience in any space. The possibilities with Swidget are endless.
However; we need your help. We have beautiful, fully-operational prototypes of the Swidget outlet and select inserts. We have completed the pre-regulatory design review and are eager to move on to the next step. With your pledges, we will be able to complete formal regulatory testing and finalize production - which means, Swidget will be delivered to your home as soon as possible.
HOW DOES SWIDGET WORK?
Swidget is made up of two elements, the Swidget outlet and inserts. Many of the Swidget inserts can be used on their own, like a nightlight or USB charger, or they can connect to an ever-growing number of systems via WiFi, Z-Wave or ZigBee protocols. This allows you to connect Swidget to your existing array of smart home products. Alternatively, you can start your smart home automation with Swidget, and choose whatever platform you'd like to use in your home.
HERE'S HOW SWIDGET COULD WORK FOR YOU
Don’t worry about finding your way to the bathroom (or anywhere else for that matter) in the dark again.

WHO SHOULD USE SWIDGET?
Whether you are an early adopter, a smart home enthusiast, or new to the smart home scene, the beauty of Swidget is that it can work for everyone. The Swidget outlet is simple and familiar, operating as a normal electrical outlet until a Swidget insert brings it to life. It works with all commonly used protocols and is compatible with an ever-growing list of applications/technologies. It is easy to install and will work into the future by swapping inserts in and out as your needs or technology change.
AN ORDINARY OUTLET WITH AN INNOVATIVE TWIST.
Swidget is a new type of outlet, but it's also the natural evolution of a product category that's not seen much innovation in the last century.
Smart home technology is already in our everyday lives… from simple thermostat comfort and energy efficiency to more elaborate security and home automation. But often the question is… where to begin?
With any new technology boom, there are always going to be several competing devices… wouldn’t it be great if there was one device with the capability to work with all devices?
That’s why we created Swidget.
Swidget Outlet is currently on Kickstarter.
They had and original goal of $40,000 and have almost reached that goal with 36 days to go in the campaign.
You can get the Swidget outlet and the Wi-Fi insert for it starting at $38 with different inserts ranging from there.
The expected ship date on these would be June 2018.

Swidget functionality is enabled by snapping in an insert, which can be controlled by your smart phone or tablet through an app, or your existing smart home hub. Typically the app is tied to a specific insert, function, platform or protocol, such as Smartthings, Nest, Google Home, Alexa, and others.
