Mothering Sunday (30th March) represents a time for children to celebrate and honour their mother. Some people opt to take their mother out for lunch, or dinner, others go for custom, personalised experiences, and some scratch their heads about what gifts to give. Ahead of this Mother’s Day, IoT Insider shares 5 IoT-enabled presents that are perfect to present your mum with.
1. Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug
Leaving a cup of coffee on the side, forgetting about it and returning to a cold cup is now in the past. The ‘smart’ capabilities of the Ember Temperature Control mug come from its extended battery life, which allows the user to drink their coffee at its preferred temperature for longer. It can also be paired with the Ember app to set the temperature, with custom presets available. It also senses when to switch on and off – when being empty or detecting inactivity after 2 hours, it enters sleep mode.
