Konka Readies Smart Lights, Switches, Locks for US Market Launch

China-based Konka, after making its U.S. TV debut in August (see 2008120049), will launch a line of smart home products at the virtual CES 2021 with availability in the spring, said the vendor. Joining the company’s smart TVs will be video doorbells and smart cameras, plugs, switches and lights. The smart products, controllable by the KonkaSmart OneApp, operate over Wi-Fi so no hub is needed, said the company. They work with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and the If This Then That service.
