One smart speaker, four circular tunes
A customisable smart-home speaker that evolves and adapts to your changing needs. Say goodbye to the old days of constantly replacing the whole device when just one part breaks or needs updating. The speaker is designed to prevent the creation of new waste and decrease both your and its environmental impact.
The speaker features a recycled plastic body and standardised, compatible parts. As additional modules are available for purchase, you can personalise your speaker and switch in or out single units for connectivity, control, sound output and more. Mixing and matching different modules to your liking is possible through an intuitive twist-lock mechanism. Pogo pins connect the modules, powering your customised speaker. Modularity at the core providing flexibility to facilitate the repair and upgrade.
Since the speaker is easily modified and adapted to your changing needs or new features, it remains functional for years to come, prevents obsolescence and encourages sustainable behaviours.
The QR code at the bottom of each module leads you to the self-assessment repair tool. The hardware schematic is open source, the chips and components are off-the-shelf, and each module is opened effortlessly. Thus, the repair can take place at a shop, or you can do it yourself at home. Connecting the speaker to a laptop allows you to run a complete diagnosis: a tailored troubleshooting test identifies the issue and provides a list of nearby repair shops and DIY repair tutorials.
