Instacube Announces Partnership with SmartThings!
Today, we’re thrilled to announce a unique partnership between two Kickstarter projects - SmartThings and Instacube! Together, we’re making the Instacube smart.
We will be working with the creators of SmartThings to integrate their technology into Instacube imagine the possibilities:
• Elegant, visual notifications for the events in your life that matter most, including someone arriving at your door, your pet leaving, or a reminder that you’ve left the garage door open right before you head to bed - without taking your phone out of your pocket.
• A beautiful, touchscreen interface for controlling the physical world around you, such as your lights, doors or air conditioning
• The presence awareness of SmartThings can drive Instacube to turn on or off and to display the photo stream of the user who is present enabling many intelligent interactions.
• Integrated SmartApps such as “Morning Routine” that can turn Instacube on as an alarm, get the coffee brewing, and turn on the bathroom lights
If you love Instacube, please consider backing SmartThings.
We'll be keeping you in the know as we work out all the fun new features we'll be able to offer now that we're partnering with SmartThings- the possibilities really are endless.
So please spread the word. Everyone benefits if more things in our life become smart, especially Instacube!
Also awesome: STRETCH GOAL ACHIEVED! We hit the 400K mark shortly after this announcement went out and we are super excited to be able to offer both the Black and White editions to all of our backers in addition to the Classic. Great work Everyone! More announcements coming soon :)!

Hi D2M, i am one of your Backers but have a question about how you will ship the instacube to me in Lima, Peru. will there be additional shipping charges? i suppose the shipping is included correct?
Creator D2M | Design to Matter on September 6, 2012
@nick & CK you rock- thanks for the love!
Creator CK on September 6, 2012
Glad to hear that! If instaCube can be an alarm, a sound output support will be really great!
Creator D2M | Design to Matter on September 5, 2012
@Beagle- stay tuned- there are more announcements to come :). And at least you don't have to worry about us- we're shipping all over the globe.
Thanks for the support everyone!
Best,
Team Instacube

You guys rock!
Creator Nick Sakellariou on September 5, 2012
Very pleased about being a backer of both projects. Already pledged for two Instacubes and will pad my SmartThings pledge with a bunch of more sensors, just to show my appreciation. This truly is Kickstarter at its best!
Creator Beagle on September 5, 2012
I'd get involved if their sights were set further than the US, but they have made it very clear it's not a good idea to back internationally. Heaven knows when they will arrive for international backers or what the post will be - I'm already taking a leap of faith on instacube so I'm not excited about this partnership unfortunately. I was hoping for connections to other photo services being the 'big announcement'.
Creator Jeremy Cupp on September 5, 2012
Yeah, I would buy it at one of the sold out prices.
Creator Ivan on September 5, 2012
That would he glad to make additional pledgr type for us. We come to SmartThings now - and all sweet prices are already gone!
