There are many great products out there to help make life easier and do certain chores for you, such as the thermostat Nest. But, none really cover all the small things, like turning off the sprinklers when you walk by. Not surprisingly, Kickstarter holds one candidate to fix that, WigWag. WigWag goes even farther than that, though.

The Logo

Physically, WigWag is a combination of sensors built in a way to be able to use any of them. It is built in a square casing, slightly smaller than your hand. That is the perfect size (it could always be smaller) to fit under beds or any other place for the main set. Smaller sensors or decor can be added on or connected to, like lights, so that WigWag can regulate more of your house.

The Body Of WigWag

The software (i.e. the iPhone app) for WigWag works a lot like IFTTT (If This Then That). Except WigWag, it is When/Then. There are many (more if you add your own sensors) option for both When and Then. An example is When motion detected, Then brighten lights. This includes things like Tweet and Text, because we could always use a little bit more time on Twitter.

Different Sensors It Can Connect To

Overall, WigWag is a great tool to make our lives simpler. If you want your own WigWag, you have to get it before August 18th when it goes off Kickstarter successfully (it has already passed it’s goal by 100,000). Hopefully it can follow through on it’s purpose, because people don’t want to have to do things, they want to Wag it.
