Hot enough for you? Yecup 365 smart mug can heat or cool drinks on the go

By

There are times when enjoying a beverage at the perfect temperature seems as impossible as tracking down a Sasquatch, but a new wireless smart mug may solve that problem. In fact, it may even be the perfect item to bring along with you while looking for Bigfoot.

Yecup Technologies today announced the release of the Yecup 365, a temperature-adjustable mug capable of heating, cooling, and maintaining the temperature of its contents. Thanks to the company’s patented technology, boiling or cooling can be done within minutes, and a drink’s desired temperature can be held for hours. Users can set temperatures either using buttons on the mug itself or through Yecup’s app on their smartphone. Users can even create presets so that they’ll be able to easily enjoy each of their favorite beverages at the ideal temperature.

“I created Yecup 365 to give people the freedom to enjoy their drinks anywhere they choose at their preferred temperature for as long as they wanted,” said the company’s co-founder and CEO, Vigen Sanahyan, in a press release. “With Yecup’s patented temperature-control technology, beautiful design and simple user experience, people will only need to have one mug for all seasons.”

Not only is Yecup leak-proof and easy to carry around, it’s eco-friendly, given its stainless steel design and BPA-free lid. The mug’s battery can be charged either with its wireless charging dock or by AC adapter, and it can even be used to charge other devices, such as a phone or tablet. Yecup also includes lights that quickly provide temperature information; a glowing logo will let you know when your desired temperature has been reached, for example.

The Yecup app, available for both iOS and Android devices, offers added functionality. In addition to allowing you to set temperatures, it will allow you to check the current temperature and will alert you on your smartphone when your beverage is ready. Temperatures can be viewed in either Fahrenheit or Celsius, depending on your preference, and battery life is tracked as well.

Yecup currently comes in two sizes — Basic (12 ounces) and Premium (14 ounces) — and is now available for pre-order on Indiegogo. Prices start at $109 and mugs will begin shipping in September, just in time for fall and winter’s hot beverages.

Do you sleep well at night? According to a lot of studies, roughly half of all Americans feel sleepy during the day -- a firm indicator that their nightly sleep isn't quite as restorative as it should be. Whether it be stress (due to high electric bills, maybe?) or just a lack of comfort, poor sleep quality is nearing alarming levels.

Temperature plays a large role in that. In fact, reaching a proper room temperature is one of the most important factors for achieving high-quality, restful sleep. According to SleepFoundation.org, the ideal temperature for the bedroom is around 65 degrees.

While renting a home or apartment can be a perfect situation for those who aren’t ready to buy yet, rentals do often have their limitations. The landlord might not want stuff up on the walls, that ugly industrial carpet is probably threadbare, and -- oh yeah -- it doesn’t have a dishwasher.

Enter Capsule. This desktop tower-sized device is a personal dishwasher, food washer, and UV sanitizer, all in one countertop device that doesn’t need plumbing -- unless you want to hook it up to the sink.

Smart homes can save you money, but it goes beyond just monitoring electricity
Power X measures water, hot water, and electricity usage

Did you know you may have a huge battery in your basement or utility closet? I didn't. It's been hiding in plain sight there for years, and Power X wants to unlock its potential for you. I sat down to speak with Power X CEO Manuel Schoenfield who told me about it -- and it's an interesting idea.

Power X is a New York-based startup that wants to use smart sensors and artificial intelligence (A.I.) I to fix the way power is used today. We've talked before about smart home devices that can help you monitor your power usage. I looked at Sense about a year ago (almost to the day) and have since found it helpful at figuring out where my power was going. Power X will do something similar, but bigger in a few different ways.
