UEI Introduces Nevo on TIDE Smart Thermostat Family to Create a Whole Home Controller Platform - Seite 2

Nevo on TIDE as a Smart Home Controller enables unique experiences between different brands and device categories without the need for an additional hub, addressing legacy and new devices, to create a personalized experience in any smart home. Powered by UEI’s QuickSet Cloud, it blends smart home and entertainment control across UEI’s full line of TIDE Family of products, including UEI TIDE Dial and UEI TIDE Touch.

Next Generation of Home Control Experience Features Include:

• A Smart Home Control Dashboard powered by Nevo, running on the UEI’s QuickSet Widget for seamless connectivity and control.
• Automatic device discovery, and AI-supported device on-boarding for end-to-end control of smart home devices, including smart lighting, shades, climate and whole home audio.
• Integrated support for temperature, humidity, and motion sensing for rule-based automation to enhance any smart lighting and shade control.
• Built-in Zigbee 3.0 support for UEI’s family of sensors as well as other 3rd party Zigbee sensors.
• A familiar control interface that includes tactile, rotary dial and touch screen for intuitive analog control including light dimming and entertainment volume control.
• Table-top placement for maximum portability and whole home control convenience, when paired with UEI TIDE Bridge or bundled with non-climate control applications.

The rapidly growing adoption of the smart home, along with the advent of the Matter protocol for the Connected Home has dramatically expanded the need for a powerful and easy-to-use portal that can discover, control and interact with devices in the home, regardless of device type or control protocol.

“Delivering simple control experiences for what users care about, and across key touchpoints in the home is key in breaking down adoption barriers and increasing engagement for connected devices,” said Arsham Hatambeiki, head of Products and Technology at UEI. “The smart thermostat is uniquely positioned to become a key component of the home control experience as it can function as the primary always on/always available screen in the home. Climate control and energy management solutions need better visibility and increased user engagement to grow, and user-centric control experiences are where it starts.”
