Having smart lights, sockets or even blinds can be a great help in making your home more comfortable, and it is also a good way to optimize the consumption of certain devices, since it is possible to control them remotely using your cell phone. In Europe, in fact, it is already possible to home automation without spending a lot of money.
Thanks to Matter, a protocol that so many people Google, Apple and Amazon have joinedall products that use it will be compatible with the home automation systems of these brands, which means that a large number of devices from other manufacturers can be combined.
The best part is that sometimes the most interesting devices appear, which are the perfect mix between a piece of furniture and a technological device. The mui Board Gen 2 is one of these devices. This is a wooden board from which it is possible to control other devices and receive information about what is happening in the house.
It’s more than it seems
The design of this device is undoubtedly its differential point, since it is not a control screen, as in the case of the Amazon Echo Show, but, literally, a wooden board. This was done so that it would not be visually distracting, resembling the rest of the furniture usually found in many homes.
The fact that it does not have a screen helps protect your eyesight, since the less you are exposed to it, the more your eyesight is protected. By simply touching the wooden surface, the device will display, using LEDs, the control interface, and it can be scrolled by sliding or simply tapping.

It is compatible with Matter, so you will be able to control a large number of equally compatible devices. It is capable of displaying music, locks and lighting controls, among other things, and also allows you to see the weather, as well as write messages for other family members to read. When the device understands that it is saving energy, it lights up slightly and shows a drawing with animals.
The mui Board Gen 2 is available on Kickstarter, where the funding process is taking place. Its price, at this stage, is around 460 dollars, and shipments are expected to begin later this year. It is a non-aggressive technological device, which prevents the user from straining their eyes and allows them to interact in a different way than the screens with which practically everyone is surrounded on a daily basis. .
