The Oomi Cube, which was showcased at CES 2015, is the central hub of a smart home system that is able to monitor your home, control your appliances and accommodate several third-party devices using near-field communication.
In terms of security, the Oomi Cube is equipped with an HD camera. Users are able to view live stream footage of everything happening within their home in perfect detail. The cube is also able to detect sound, vibration and motion, and users have the option of setting alerts accordingly.
Another impressive feature of the Oomi Cube is in its ability to measure temperature, humidity and light, allowing users to keep track of their environment and adjust accordingly. Far from just receiving data, the Oomi Cube is also able to send out its own signal to compatible devices (for instance, the television).
