eClip will prevent parents from forgetting their child in the backseat

As sad as it is to day, it’s not uncommon to hear about a parent accidentally leaving their baby in the back seat of their car. You know how the story usually ends when something like this happens. No one wants to be part of a story like that. One possible solution is a product like eClip from Elepho.

Elepho is an established health product company who used Kickstarter to get funding for the eClip. eClip is a battery powered Bluetooth device that clips to the baby’s seatbelt or clothing and pairs with the parent’s smartphone.

If the parent gets out of the car and forgets the baby, their phone will sound an alarm when the parent walks a few feet away. It’s sort of like a Bluetooth tracker for your gadgets, although a baby is infinitely more valuable than a gadget. But that does make me wonder if anyone has thought of using a Bluetooth tracker on a baby before? Maybe I just thought of a genius new use for those little tracker tiles.

In addition to alerting you that the child is still in the car, eClip will also alert you if the temperature is too warm or too cold.

And for parents that do not use a smartphone, eClip also works with a key fob with a built in speaker that sounds an alarm.

You can read more about eClip at www.elepho.com/eclip. It will be priced around $80, but can save $20 on the final price by pre-ordering now with shipping due in December.

Offbits are cute robot characters that you build from bits and pieces

If you like robots and you like building things, then you will probably love Offbits. Offbits are little kits that use parts like bolts, screws, wingnuts, springs, connectors, and more to create quirky cute robot-like characters.

They are kind of like LEGO for nerds and are available in an assortment of kits that are themed around a specific character. But of course, you can use your imagination and build all sorts of variations.

Each kit comes with a selection of parts and a special tool called the SuperTool that you use to assemble the parts.

There are even Offbits vehicle kits.

Looking at these kits and characters makes me want to go to Lowes and buy some miscellaneous hardware and build my own robot figures.

Each Offbits kit is $14.95. For more info visit theoffbits.com and you can order from Amazon.

No key, no combination, no problem with the Nokē padlock

The Nokē Bluetooth enabled padlock lets you ditch both keys and combinations in favor of your magical touch. Ok, you’re not really magic. The Nokē lock looks for a Bluetooth connection to your phone and the Nokē app and automatically opens the lock when you click it.

You don’t even have to take your phone out of your pocket, launch the app or click an unlock button. As long as there’s a connection between your phone and the lock, it will open. The way it works is almost identical to the Kevo smart deadbolt lock that I reviewed last year.

The lock is made of steel, is waterproof, and runs on a battery that should last about a year before needing a replacement.

The Nokē can even be used with an optional Bluetooth key fob for people who don’t use a smartphone.

You can read more about the Nokē padlock on their website or buy one for $56.99 through Amazon.

Your bicycle mini pump just got a tech upgrade

Serious bicycle riders include a mini pump in their ERC (Every-Ride-Carry). The TATTICO Bluetooth Pump from SILCA is a 120psi pump that is accurate to within +/- 2%. But what sets it apart from other mini pumps is that it uses a Bluetooth pressure sensor to relay the tire pressure reading through an app on your phone called iGauge.

When you start using the pump, it powers up a CR2032 battery which causes the built-in Bluetooth pressure sensor to transmit the pressure data to the iGauge app on your phone.

You can order the TATTICO Bluetooth Pump for $120.00 and it will start shipping on 8/31/17. Visit silca.cc for more info.
