kuando Busylight UC Omega by Kuando

This little unit is a great visual to be able to quickly see if other colleagues are on the phone, in do not disturb mode or to see and hear from across the office that your phone is ringing. I liked this so much that I purchased one for home so people know if I'm in a call or not and to hear when I have an incoming call so I don't have to wear my headset all of the time. Love how many major systems this device works with and that the development is ongoing to take advantage of new features in these systems.

I bought this because, despite my office door being closed, I was constantly interrupted during meetings. I use earbuds, so it's not always obvious that I’m in a meeting. The red light has been effective in stopping people from peering into my office window when my door is closed to check if I’m busy. I also really like that it turns blue and gives me an audible notification when someone starts a Teams meeting - this has saved me a few times when I didn’t see the meeting reminder and might have ended up being late.

Great for the home office. Family members can see that I'm in a meeting before interrupting me. It works well with Microsoft Outlook; free/busy/in meeting/presenting all have distinctive colors. It also uses sound to notify you that a meeting is about to start - handy if I'm away from my desk.

El hardware en sí no es malo, lo único que se le puede criticar es que no tiene conectividad inalámbrica y no se puede reemplazar el cable USB A con el que viene si se llega a romper (de poder se puede, desoldándolo, pero no es fácilmente reemplazable por el usuario). El software es terriblemente malo. En vez de haber un solo programa con plugins para Teams, Slack, Zoom, etc. hay que descargar e instalar software individualmente para cada uno de esas plataformas. Además, exige permisos de administrador (lo que complica las cosas para los que no son administradores de la computadora). Por otro lado, al menos el software para Teams anda muy mal. No reconoce reuniones ad-hoc y a veces queda mostrando un estado incorrecto (por ejemplo, muestra el color verde cuando uno está en una llamada, o rojo cuando uno está libre).

Einfache Installation via Plug & Play. Hochwertig verarbeitet, verschiedene Farben inkl. Töne möglich. Ansteuerung via API funktioniert problemlos.
