Thanks for the props Anton! - Yes, there are many actors in the market of smart building, we are currently talking with another one, cannot disclosure though. - We want to have AI in the DNA of our platform, the first stage is collection of data, we can already do that with our platform, now we will focus in developing the first approach of pattern recognition for the data we receive from sensors, so we can identify clusters, then ask the users to tag data to train our classifier, and build from there our machine learning component. - At the moment, we are focused on the platform. We are staying wide and open to developers and enthusiasts (horizontal approach), we want to be flexible, use open source technologies (currently supporting Arduino and ESP8266, and common sensors and actuators), we will explore some verticals on the way, we hope this approach will help us make the platform bigger.

Why would your potential customers choose your platform over others before you have the fancy A.I DNA?

  We are making a huge effort in keeping things very simple, we want to lower the barriers to entry by offering affordable hardware in two aspects: price and ease to implement-use (plug n play). All this started over a year ago, we worked on some IoT projects, we realized we needed a platform to make it real, but none of the existing were simple and flexible enough for our needs. The one project that kickstarted Undercontrol.io was monitoring the temperature of the fish tank we have at home, after some fish died due to an issue with the heater we started monitoring the temperature and receiving alerts when something went wrong. Sure, you can buy fancy sensors, but they are expensive, we already had all the components and the technology from other applications at home. We believe IoT should be accessible for everyone, you have the example of Arduino, Raspberry Pi, NodeMCU and so many others. All of those are very useful developing tools, but we were missing a powerful workshop for creating real applications with all these tools. From here we want to unleash the potential we believe our idea has, but baby steps first. :-)
