Smart Home

They say your home is where your heart is.

The smart system economy for the home starts with surfacing information about your water and electricity usage along with the state of your appliances.

This information can link to the outside world to optimize resource by turning off when not needed, cut bills by running at non-peak hours, and schedule maintenance calls before something breaks down.

From resource use to lifespan, our food system lies at the heart of a smart device economy.

The industry is currently responsible for almost a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Sensors and machine learning provide a new way to grow, ship, and consume our food while providing data about its origins.
