Smart Mimic has integrated LoRa devices from fellow California company Semtech into its MimicGo line of consumer products for enabling safe and secure rooms and belongings.
 
For indoor or outdoor use, the devices monitor condition changes in applications such as door sensing, belonging movements and tampering, motion sensing in rooms, and open and closed status in drawers or safes.
“Semtech’s LoRa devices and the LoRaWan protocol connect flexible consumer security devices for smarter management and deliver the ideal combination of low power and consistent data monitoring required for the MimicGo product line,” said Burak Yalcinkaya, co-founder and head of marketing at Smart Mimic. “With LoRa integrated, MimicGo represents one of the first IoT-enabled consumer security solutions of its kind, offering instant, portable and secure deployment, and providing real-time status updates on asset location or door tampering. As a result, these on-the-go devices provide customers peace of mind, safety and prevent the loss or theft of belongings.”
 
The MimicGo sensors are low power, wireless and compact, enabling deployment flexibility into various potential uses for smart monitoring. Upon detecting a change in status, the device activates an alarm to discourage theft or tampering with monitored locations. Additionally, these customisable alarms, combined with real-time smartphone notifications, make MimicGo suitable for connecting smart homes and assets for those with hearing impairments.
 
It leverages the geolocation capabilities of LoRa devices to enable swift asset location and loss prevention, saving users time and money.
 
“Integrating LoRa devices for easy-to-use consumer products enables end users to directly receive the benefits of smarter data monitoring without needing prior IoT experience,” said Marc Pegulu, vice president of IoT at Semtech. “LoRa-based products are flexible and deploy almost anywhere without requiring external wiring or other infrastructure. Smart Mimic leveraged these deployment advantages, along with LoRa devices’ capabilities for reliable data monitoring and notification, to deliver products that simplify personal security for individuals and their belongings.”
