The Simple Smart Home
The Basic Building Blocks
Smart Devices
Everyday devices with wireless control.
These are just smarter versions of things you’re used to- like smart light bulbs and smart power outlets. Unlike your old devices, they have radios inside of them so that they can be told what to do wirelessly. This allows them to be connected to your smart home system, so that they can be controlled from across the room or around the world.
The Hub
The brains of the operation.
The hub is the conductor for your home. It organizes your devices and tells them what to do. It relays your commands to the devices in your home. When you tell Oomi to turn on the living room lights, that command is sent to the hub which then tells the appropriate light bulbs to turn on.
Sensors
Provide info to help control your home.
Sensors give insight into what’s going on. Oomi uses this information to manage your home. For example, an ambient light sensor can detect when a room is too dark. Oomi uses that info to know that it’s time to brighten your lights. There are lots of different sensors to fit different needs.
