Smartt Out Home Chute
The Smart In-Home Waste Chute is a next-generation utility that integrates municipal waste, recycling, and compost carts directly into the structure of the building they’re issued to.
Residents dispose of all waste streams through a single, sealed indoor chute—eliminating clutter, odors, and trips to the curb. Built for reliability, it features universal lifting tabs compatible with various cart types, removable cleanable surfaces, and optional zero-power manual operation using CANen's optimized sheave linkage for efficient lid and diverter control.
Designed with ADA accessibility and privacy in mind, it establishes a secure “point of discard” that, if enabled, empowers users with instant access to product data—ingredients, safety info, pricing alerts, promotions, cooking instructions—by simply scanning discarded or new packaging.
Unlike typical systems that harvest user data, this platform prioritizes consumer empowerment, not corporate surveillance.
“Empowering the consumer at the point of discard—shifting away from the traditional point of sale to enable smarter choices, greater efficiency, and real savings.”
Smart Watt
As we move about in our daily lives a tool for participatory involvement through informed decision making and understandable insight. Without having to halt thought processes to engage an app interface or need to memorize the already confusing seasonal, hourly, week day, or weekend scheduling .
We are developing a Smart Watt ambient awareness device featuring our cognitively intuitive landscape display technology.
This technology is designed to be unobtrusive and discreet utilizing therapeutic illumination and modulating effects to convey layered energy information from instant reference to highly informative "big picture" energy insight and comparison.
Real-time data, such as live time-of-use pricing for instant practical daily use savings and environmental participation.
In addition to a layered landscape background capable of displaying various area, province, and territory energy mix systems, updated conditions, and status.
API-driven architecture allows for the integration of the increasing amount of new data streams and energy mix technologies. From practical daily home reference to an educational tool capable of displaying various areas, provinces and territories for comparison, contemplation, and conversation through access to information.
