Smart Home Revolution

January 7, 2016

Two Israeli Arabs and two graduates of the Israeli security services have teamed up in a start-up company that can turn your home into a safe “smart home”—control and monitor your entire home, all from your smart phone.

The “smart home” is the latest in technology. A smart home allows you to run electrical appliances in the house via your phone, controlling electricity consumption even when you are not at home for a day, or out of the country. By accessing information on local weather conditions, a “smart home” can automatically adjust for changes and save up to 30% of electricity costs. It allows you also, for example, to activate the water heater or air conditioner on your way home, so everything is ready when you arrive.

The MindoLife home platform created by the Haifa start-up allows you to easily and cheaply turn your home into a “smart home” by integrating with existing smart devices—TVs, iRobots, coffee machine, and much more. You can control your home devices from wherever you are using a simple application installed on your smart phone, which is completely secured and protected. The system is more efficient and less expensive than other solutions available on the market today, making it accessible to broad sectors of society.

MindoLife will also soon be launching a new Internet of Things (IOT) product for emerging companies that will provide advanced connectivity of devices, systems and services, covering a wide variety of protocols, domains and applications. The MindoLife IOT platform handles network and security issues, enabling organizations to develop highly secured and reliable systems without fear of cyber attack.
