The Microsoft Band is the next platform to get Insteon home automation support, as the company announces developers can leverage on the RESTful API to create home automation apps for the fitness wearable.
The company showed off the home automation capabilities of the device at Microsoft's annual Build conference, with light switch control via the Band as paired with a Windows-powered smartphone.
“We’re taking home automation to inspiring new places and we’re delighted to extend our control to the Microsoft Band,” Insteon says. “Together with our developer community, we’re bringing new power and flexibility to home automation, making it easier than ever for consumers to enjoy life at home—wherever you happen to be.”
