Belkin, Jarden Integrate Coffeemaker with App

WeMo, the home automation ecosystem from Belkin International, and Mr. Coffee, announces availability of the Mr. Coffee Smart Coffee maker Enabled with WeMo. The third product stemming from a collaboration between WeMo and Sunbeam Products, Inc. doing business as Jarden Consumer Solutions, the Mr. Coffee Smart Coffeemaker features WeMo connectivity built-in and enables consumers to brew, schedule and monitor the device from anywhere using a smartphone or tablet with the WeMo app.

“With more than 100 million daily coffee drinkers1 in the United States alone, coffeemakers have become an indispensable part of the kitchen and making coffee is a very personal ritual for a lot of people,” said Ohad Zeira, director of product management for WeMo. “Having that first cup of coffee fresh and hot at the exact perfect moment makes the brew from anywhere, anytime aspect of the Mr. Coffee Smart Coffeemaker an enticing addition to the smart home.”

The Mr. Coffee Smart Coffeemaker enabled with WeMo is a smartphone-controllable coffeemaker which gives users remote access to all of the coffeemaker’s functions. Perfect for busy weekday mornings and lazy Saturdays alike, the WeMo-enabled coffeemaker ensures coffee is always freshly brewed. Set a schedule to have coffee ready every weekday morning at 7:30 for the morning commute or hit brew from the dinner table so coffee’s ready just in time for dessert during a dinner party.

With the WeMo app, users can start or monitor the coffeemaker from anywhere. Through the app, users can also schedule a week’s worth of brew times, check to make sure the coffeemaker has a full tank of water or the carafe is in place, setup reminders, and receive alerts when the water filter needs changing, or the coffeemaker needs to be cleaned. The Mr. Coffee Smart Coffeemaker enabled with WeMo also works seamlessly with the entire WeMo family of products and partner products.
