Oomi 2

Fantem, a developer of innovative products and solutions for the home, recently introduced Oomi through a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. Seeking to raise $100,000, the self-dubbed first smart home system that offers users unparalleled simplicity of set-up and use to deliver a truly intuitive, and easy to expand, home management solution right out of the box.

Oomi 3Oomi features patent pending Tap-and-Touch technology for the fastest and most effortless setup and configuration of any home automation system, the device instantly recognizes all system accessories and sensors without the need for programming. For users, this means that when an Oomi device is “tapped” with the Oomi Touch tablet, it is immediately recognized and options for set-up, configuration and information specific to that device (including tutorials and videos) are displayed right on the screen of the Touch tablet.

Before completing set-up, a user can customize any setting as they see fit. For most users, this will mean little more than adding a custom name (i.e.“Hall Light”) and tapping “confirm” on the Oomi Touch screen. With setup done, should the end user wish to change any settings, or find out more about an Oomi accessory, again all they have to do is Tap-and-Touch! By making it easier than ever to get a true “smart home” up and running, Oomi is lowering the barrier to entry for home automation for consumers of all types – whether tech-savvy or not (no coding or programming knowledge required), and positions Oomi to truly reshape the smart home market.

Oomi 1Oomi’s control functionality is built on the Z-Wav Wireless Mesh Network Technology, which allows users to wirelessly control electronics, home controls and other Z-Wave devices. This provides users with great reliability, and robust expansion options for the modern home of today and tomorrow.

The Oomi system also features self-learning algorithms and adaptive automation, which redefines smart home ease-of-use. Once set up, the user will not have to do anything additional to experience the benefits of home automation. The system will learn the user’s habits, schedules and preferences to deliver a new level of whole home control. For example, by checking that morning’s traffic, Oomi can determine if the user’s commute will take longer than expected and automatically re-set their alarm clock to wake them up earlier so they are not late for work. Oomi redefines ease of use simply because most of the time it doesn’t have to be manually used at all.

Winston ChengCEO of Fantem, Winston Cheng stated,“Oomi has the potential to massively grow the home automation market by delivering the first easy to use system that provides practical, useful, intuitive and expandable solutions for homeowners. With the included hub, tablet and plug, Oomi can be used and managed anywhere, anytime, allowing users the comfort of knowing that their home is doing exactly what they want and it need it to do, for safety, security and comfort.”

Sample Oomi uses include:

  • Wirelessly control electronics, home controls and a wide variety of Z-Wave enabled devices
  • Control home entertainment and other iR devices including heating and cooling systems
  • The ability to control 2-way cameras so users can view and interact with their home
  • Security control to provide additional levels of safety
  • Monitor security and smoke detectors via a glass break sensor and a noise sensor, allowing users to know when these systems have been activated and/or engaged
  • Sleep and exercise monitoring functionality
  • Air quality sensors that can gauge the quality of air in the home

The campaign, which will aid to fund the final development and manufacturing of the Oomi system, will see final product delivered to consumers by summer 2015. Since its launch on the global crowdfunding platform, Oomi has already raised $21,000. It is set to close on March 3rd.
