Hands on with the OOMI Starter Kit
One of the many things that I was able to witness at CES was how it seems that everyone wants a "connected home". It is very apparent that certain homes that are being built in the present are being prepared for the future, so that all of the electronics can be taken control via smartphone/tablet. I can't remember at what CES I saw this at, but OOMI was there. This was … [Read more...] about Hands on with the OOMI Starter Kit

Nest is killing the Revolv Hub
