Otodo to Present Ugo - Its Magic Wand Remote Control and Innovation Award Honoree - at CES 2018Otodo, the French startup democratizing the connected home, will be showcasing its new device Ugo, a magic wand that controls all connected and remote-controlled devices in the home at the CES (News - Alert) in Las Vegas. Designated as a CES 2018 Innovation Honoree, Ugo will be on display at Otodo's official booths at the CES Unveiled event on January 7 and the main CES January 9-12 at booth 40133, Sands, Halls A-D. An interoperable platform connected to the cloud, Otodo consolidates into one easy-to-use system all devices in the home, from the most recent connected models to the simplest of remote-controlled appliances. "Ugo is part of the Otodo experience of restoring the smart home to its primary purpose: providing comfort, simplicity and security to all," says the company's CEO and founder Eric Denoyer. Ugo: the magic wand that turns gestures into commands Within the Otodo ecosystem, the pebble-shaped Ugo acts as a magic wad. Geolocalized in the home and equipped with a fingerprint recognition touch-button, it can recognize up to 16 different users For each command scenario, the user defines an area of the home where orders can be given by simply tapping Ugo against pre-defined surfaces: tap Ugo on the nightstand to turn off the lights; tap Ugo on the hall table to open the front door; tap Ugo on the coffee table to close the shutters! An original and unique experience, open to everyone. Otodo: the startup democratizing the connected home Launched by Eric Denoyer, former CEO of SFR (News - Alert) Numericable, Otodo has set its sights on democratizing the smart home. Otodo is multi-protocol and adapts to the digital languages of a wide variety of appliances, even those from older generations, making the smart home accessible to everyone. An all-in-one application consolidates all commands and enables the definition of pre-programmed scenarios in just a few clicks.
