We’ve landed men on the moon; we’ve created smartphones with Apps that can manage every aspect of your life.
And now, there’s Peggy, Smart Peggy. This little lady is going to read the weather, and when rainfall seems imminent, Peggy will send a warning to your smartphone. You can then leg it out to the clothes line and take in your laundry before a ‘soft’ Irish shower soaks them!
OMO in Australia are developing Peggy, which when paired to your smartphone, will measure issues such as day light, humidity and temperature.
Peggy’s in-built sensors will then inform the user of the recommended time required to dry your laundry and will also notify of changing weather conditions.
Alas, Peggy is still in prototype phase but if this tech-savvy clothes peg gets the thumbs-up, there will no doubt be a market for Peggy here in Co Kildare.
