qBiq Launches Kickstarter for Real-Time Monitoring IoT Device
Ubiqweus Inc. today launched its Kickstarter campaign for a new Internet
of Things (IoT) device, the qBiq, a wireless sensor that monitors and
collects data from anything, at any time. The world's first Internet of
Everything device, qBiq can internet-enable any object, appliance, and
living or office space at the touch of a button, sending data directly
to a user's smartphone or tablet for analysis using the freely available
qBiq mobile application.
The Kickstarter campaign features the first four models of the qBiq,
including qBiq Temp (for measuring and monitoring temperature), qBiq
Feel (for measuring and monitoring humidity), qBiq Glow (for measuring
and monitoring light intensity), and qBiq Move (for measuring and
monitoring motion). With nearly infinite use cases, the
consumer-friendly smart gadget allows anyone to keep tabs on their
possessions and the environment in their homes, offices, businesses, and
in almost every other aspect of their lives.
"IoT is often built directly into devices, like internet-connected
thermostats, cars, and even toasters, but what if you could turn any
object or surface into an IoT device with that functionality but without
any complexity and high cost? The qBiq is a disruptive IoT device
because it's easy-to-use, affordable, and it can be used almost anywhere
or for anything," said Sean Stephens, Co-Founder, Ubiqweus Inc. "With
qBiq, anyone can monitor and access real-time data from any object in
their home or office, or keep tabs on elements in their indoor and
outdoor environments with ease."
Small, energy-efficient, and mobile, the qBiq is compact enough to be
attached and re-attached to any surface, but large enough to be seen.
With extensive battery life, the sensor transmits data on any object or
space continually for more than six months depending on usage, and is
fully rechargeable via a USB connection to any computer, solar-based
charger, or wall socket.
Each qBiq has a unique QR code and website address that collects and
displays datasets, providing real-time information that's ccessible and
shareable. Moreover, the data that qBiq produces is open source, meaning
that the insights gleaned are immediately actionable and can be used for
mobile application or software development.
"After a year of refining our designs and testing our prototypes, qBiq
is ready for prime-time," said James Daigle, Co-Founder, Ubiqweus Inc.
"qBiq's versatility and mobility makes it the easiest and most-efficient
way to control and monitor everything in your life."
Key Features of the qBiq include:
-
Wi-Fi-enabled, sensor-based IoT device that measures and records data
-
One-inch cubic body
-
Real-time transfer and analysis of data
-
A lightweight, durable, stylish shell
-
Unique QR code and website address for each device
-
Open source functionality
-
Rechargeable battery via USB connection
-

The qBiq pricing starts at approximately C$30 per unit.
