hey I'm Xiomara Blanca Christina here at a Sakura fly event in San Francisco and I'm checking out the almond free router now this isn't your average router it's technically a Wi-Fi system meaning it's a combination router range extender and smartphone hub it doesn't come cheap starting at a hundred and twenty-five dollars for one unit and $400 for three but it's more affordable than the comparable Eero and luma Wi-Fi systems before you complain about its price remember it's not your average router not only does it have a screen on the front to easily and quickly set it up in your home it also has voice control if you own an Amazon echo you can use a lesson to do things like turn on the lights or unlock the door there's also useful app it shows you all of the connected devices on your network and allows you to set up scenes which are kind of like shortcuts for example you can set a scene to automatically adjust your thermostat if it drops below a certain temperature between specific times one of the best things about the almond three is that it works with a variety of connected devices unlike other similar systems it's not limited to specific brands in fact it's compatible with a few hundred devices including ones from nest Phillips hue and ZigBee when it comes to smart home Wi-Fi systems so far the Elven 3 is that simple and economical as they get expected to hit stores in July
