E-commerce Best Buy develops and launches Peq smart home platform

The well-known chain giant BestBuy has developed a brand-new network platform called Peq and announced to join the competition of smart home. People think that Peq is Best Buy's attempt to enter the home automation fashion. It also has a central device responsible for wirelessly connecting different items, such as cameras, sensors for doors, windows, and thermostats.

Peq has a monthly service charge, which is currently $ 9.99 (about 61 yuan), and there is no minimum limit for signing time. The purpose of charging is to keep the function running well. You can set up custom rules, receive SMS and reminder emails for $ 10 a month. Users can also transmit real-time videos, videos, photos, store videos and photos, and access a dedicated customer service team.

Peq's basic package of $ 119.99 (approximately RMB 740) includes a central device and a door and window sensor; if you add 2 "lighting" packages for remote lamp bases, it will cost $ 199.99 (approximately RMB 1230). It can only send 20 SMS a day, store 20 video clips and capture 40 photos.

Another combination of $ 199.99 is a central device, a door & window sensor and a wireless camera. The $ 489.99 (approximately RMB 3010) “house” combination includes 1 central device, 2 door & window sensors, 2 light modules, 2 motion sensors, 1 water sensor, and 1 smart thermostat.

Peq cameras each cost $ 129.99 (approximately RMB 799), lamp modules cost $ 59.99 (approximately RMB 369), and home appliance modules cost US $ 54.99 (approximately RMB 338). It is said that Best Buy is planning to rely on the sale of sensors to offset the low price of central equipment. Smart thermostats are $ 129.99 each (approximately RMB 799), while door & window sensors are $ 34.99 each (approximately RMB 215).
