A whole new world of possibilities opens up when you connect a device to the internet. This is why the Internet of Things has become so popular in recent years. Relay from Foundry Technologies is here to jump on the IoT bandwagon with a WiFi-connected 2.8″ LCD screen.
These small screens come in two versions: desk and wall-mounted. They function the same, but the wall-mounted version includes a few mounting holes and screws for easy installation on a wall or outside beside your doorbell. The device is powered by a micro USB power supply which is included. The cord is three feet in length, but you can use a longer one, depending on where your Relay is mounted.
The original concept for Relay was a WiFi-connected screen you could hang beside your doorbell. This would display messages to inform visitors that you’re not home, that the baby is sleeping, or that you want packages delivered at the doorstep. This version also displays image like holiday messages or a photo of the family. You can make changes to the text or images via an online interface.
Whether your decide to mount the screen near your front door, or keep on your desk, Relay offers a lot of options for how you want to utilize this connected LCD screen.
