Securifi's feature-packed routers have arrived in Asia, and if you're keen on getting your hands on one, the good news is that it's now on sale here in Singapore. The bad news is that it's still waiting on wireless certification for other countries in Southeast Asia, so you'll have to wait for the Almond, Almond 2015 and dual-band Almond+ to pass muster.

Selling for S$350 (which converts to around $245) for the Almond+, S$140 ($100) for the Almond 2015 and S$112 ($80) for the Almond, the routers are a little more expensive than what they're sold for in the US, but not by much.

For those thinking about smartening up their homes here in Asia, the Almond 2015 and Almond+ routers are designed to serve as a smart-home hub, and are compatible with both Zigbee and Z-Wave devices.

Both touchscreen routers feature a cool interface that allows for programming simple smart-home logic sequences similar to IFTTT (If This, Then That). It lets you set up conditions, like sensing when you leave your house, and results, such as turning off connected devices.

If you own a device that supports WiFI and it can be connected to the router and then controlled via the router like switching off and on.
