There have been many rumors about Pebble in the media in the past couple of days. We now know that the company has stopped all hardware operations. As the company announced on Kickstarter:

We are no longer manufacturing, promoting, or selling any new products. Active Pebble models in the wild will continue to work.

Much of the team will join Fitbit to develop future products for that company. Those of you who ordered new Pebble devices but didn’t receive your rewards will get a refund.

Pebble Time 2, Pebble Core, and Pebble Time Round Kickstarter Editions will not go into final production. Successfully-received Pebble 2 rewards are the only item not eligible for a Kickstarter pledge refund.

If you own one of these watches, it will continue to work normally until it doesn’t. One-to-one support will also stop. Those of you who were keeping up with the news probably realized it wasn’t the best idea to order a Pebble watch recently. It’s sad to see Pebble go but how it affects other players in this industry remains to be seen.

So you loved older Pebble watches? You are going to be happy to know that the company is back with a bunch of new products on Kickstarter.

Pebble watches are quite a lot of fun to use. They help you stay connected on the road.

Apple Watch, Moto 360, and LG watches get a lot of coverage in the media these days. But Pebble watches are still worth checking out. In fact, the folks behind it are working hard to improve these watches. The team has been working to prepare the timeline interface for the original Pebble and Pebble Steel. It lets you organize events, notifications, and everything else on your wrist. The below video shows the progress that has been made so far:

It was only a few days ago that we covered a very exciting video showing how Aria adds gesture control to Android Wear watches. We are happy to see that the project is now live on Kickstarter. Aria adds gesture control to Pebble and Android Wear smartwatches. It recognizes finger gestures and lets you control devices hands-free.

Since Aria is a Bluetooth device, you can use it to control all kinds of gadgets through your smartphone. Pretty exciting, isn’t it? You can support the project on Kickstarter.

Meet the Automatic: a smart car adapter that pairs with its companion app to log your trip and display the details of each trip. It helps you decode engine problems like a professional. It provides you with feedback to help you become a better driver. The device even helps you find your parked car. When you are in an accident, Automatic automatically detects it and gets you help.

Automatic is not only compatible with your smartphone but also smartwatches such as the Apple Watch and Pebble. You can find out more here.

Many folks assume that they need to have a Moto 360 or Apple Watch to control their home electronics. It is possible to use a Pebble watch for that. This video by Gerrit K-Meier shows how you can use Fhem, Simply.js, and a smartphone to do the job. For those of you not familiar with Fhem, it is a GPL’d Perl server for home automation.

As you can see in the above video, it is possible to switch a lamp on/off using a Pebble smartwatch. Of course, you can do a whole lot more if you are creative enough.

Here is a handy accessory that lets you charge your Pebble more conveniently. The NomadKey for Pebble fits on your keychain and works just like the regular charging cable that came with your smartwatch. The NomadKey is tough and durable as it is constructed using Bayer polycarbonate and Dupont TPE rubber. Keep in mind that you can’t use this with your Pebble Steel or Pebble Time.
