As friends and family move around through the day, a special app on their phones sends geolocation coordinates to a secure server, which are then transmitted to the ETA Clock device to adjust its hands. “We had envisioned our target customer as a tech-friendly family: A family who wants to stay connected but maintain a sense of independence. However, since building the ETA Clock, we have found that this product is perfect for so many situations.

Tetra Dishwasher

Yes, an internet-connected dishwasher exists, and it’s called the “Tetra Countertop Dishwasher”. This compact device can hold two full place settings at a time, and no water line is required, as users just need an AC outlet connection and a half a gallon of water to start washing. Thanks to patented ohmic array technology that relies on graphite electrodes to heat water, no metal heating elements are used. Expect to shell out $300 for the Tetra when it hits stores later this year.
