We told you about this earlier this month, the internet commerce giant launched its smart health connected button in 2015. Its utility is simple: order the product of your choice with a single press of the switch. Each button (sold for around 5 dollars in the United States) is linked to a product from one of the 20 partner brands. Toilet paper, detergent, coffee, packet of pasta … there are many products available.
When you see that you're going to run out of a product, just press the button and a new package is instantly ordered and delivered to your health home within 24 hours. The button even sends a notification to your smartphone to avoid involuntary or compulsive purchases. Launched just over a year ago in America, No release date has been announced in France yet.
To call an advisor: the ehealth Button
The reputation of the French health home appliance and IT sales company is based on customer service. In addition to its trust contract, ehealth sought a new method of customer loyalty: the ehealth button. It’s a smart health connected button that you can activate as soon as you have a problem with a product sold by the French brand. An advisor will then call you back as soon as possible to help you.
The button costs 25 euros to purchase which must be added a subscription of three to eight euros per month. What is the point of paying for a normally free service? You will not pay for assistance on equipment purchased from another brand. In addition, all of your information is pre-saved to the button’s mobile app, no more rummaging through your papers to find the right invoice.
Presented at the Consumer Electronic Show held in Las Vegas in January, La Poste's smart health connected button looks like an effective way to reduce endless queues in agencies. It is magnetized, which makes it easy to install directly in your mailbox. When you want to send a package, just put the object you want to send in your mailbox and press the button.
You then choose the recipient using the smartphone application, then make the payment. After that, a postman will come to take care of the rest, from the packaging to the sending of the package. This service, offered by Colissimo, is currently being tested in a pilot area and on both high and low speed connection types.
The majority of the smart health connected buttons relate to health home automation. Among the crowd of buttons oriented towards the smart building, the Concierge stands out from the competition by its elegant and sober design. As we said in the article dedicated to it, it is a programmable switch that allows you to manage many parameters of your interior with ease.
Turn the lights on or off, lock the locks, turn on the vacuum, adjust the air conditioning or heating, close the shutters, or even turn off the TV outlet there are many services during a thunderstorm. Anaxago already benefits from numerous partners such as Parrot, Okidokeys, E.zicom and Netmato. Concierge is able, thanks to its luminous halo, to detect the evolution of the weather, notify the arrival of a package or even know when a plant needs to be watered. Finally, the button has an à la carte service that allows you, for example, tobe notified of the arrival of the Uber driver you have ordered.
