Home Depot has developed an intelligent glass front door that allows users to enjoy privacy and natural light. With a simple command, you can toggle the door between transparent and opaque glass. You can also control the glass’s operation using the Hubspace app installed on your mobile phone.
Presenting The Feather River Home Smart Glass Door
Pre-hung fiberglass closet doors and Feather River door feature smart glass that the trolley switches off from clear to opaque in a single valve action. The features can be turned on and off with a button on the door or through the Home Depot Hubspace application on mobile phones. There is a feature that can automate the smart glass from clear to frosted automatically during computations and back to clear only at night.
Smart glass doors are offered at almost the exact pricing as a standard front entry door: a quarter-lite costs $798, a half-lite costs $899, and a total or three-quarter-lite costs $998.
Hubspace: Making Life Easier for Smart Homes
Through the Hubspace platform, Home Depot addresses the needs of average homeowners’s acceptance of smart homes. Compared to other smart home systems, Hubspace does not have a separate hub,, which is usually a requirement. Instead of a hub, all one needs is the Hubspace app, which can control many of Home Depot’s smart devices, including lights, shades, fans, and thermostats.
For this reason, the smart glass door is the first project Hubspace has undertaken with an external client. The Hubspace app allows you to control the door, and you can also use voice commands through Alexa and Google Home to manage the glass.
Connectivity and Power Options
The Feather River door’s smart glass relies on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi networks for connectivity, which consume power during operation. A rechargeable battery mounted in the door frame supplies this power. Also, the door has a built-in receptacle for a USB cable if there is a wall plug which is easily accessible. The kit also contains an additional battery pack and charger to offer a bit more convenience.
The battery only drives smart glasses and their communication devices; the door cannot operate other smart devices like a doorbell or a door lock. With the smart glass receipts integrated into the Feather River door, it is, in all special respects, an ordinary front door.
Functional and Positively Appealing Smart Home Component
The intelligent glass front door by Home Depot is a new and functional offering for homeowners who want privacy and light simultaneously. This innovative door not only adds design elements to the smart home at a reasonable price but also accommodates easy operations through the Hubspace app and supports voice assistance.
