Ube's got a WiFi Smart Dimmer that utilizes multitouch functionality to control the the lights in your house -- use one finger to turn off a single light, or use two to turn off a set. The company picked SXSW as the venue to announce the forthcoming launch of customized gestures for other smart devices -- in the example given to us by CEO Utz Baldwin, a user can input a "W" to turn on the sprinklers -- or an "A" plus up swipe to turn on an alarm and an "A" plus a down swipe to disable it.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Sadly, the functionality won't be available for the launch of the first generation, though it's likely to come in time for the second generation, along with a software update for early adopters. Interested parties can support the company via Kickstarter right now -- Ube's a bit over halfway to its goal of $280,000, with 24 days to go. You can also watch Baldwin discuss the product and today's news in a video after the break.</div><div class="post-gallery" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><h3 class="title"><b>Ube WiFi Smart Dimmer hands-on</b></h3><br /><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc07564_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc07567_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc07570_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc07572_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc07573_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc07575_95x95.jpg" /> </div></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="349" id="viddler-73eb430b" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="//www.viddler.com/embed/73eb430b/?f=1&offset=0&autoplay=0&secret=108673814&disablebranding=0&view_secret=108673814" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="545"></iframe></div>
