SNUPI Technologies has developed WallyHome, a wireless sensor-network platform for the home that pairs a hub with six wireless sensors placed near appliances and in hazard-prone spaces. The system detects water leaks, abnormal temperature and humidity changes, and conditions that can lead to mold, then notifies homeowners and their alert contacts via email, text, or push notification. WallyHome includes a web dashboard and a Wally app to view current home conditions and trends over time. The company is led by CEO and co-founder Jeremy Jaech. SNUPI intends to use its new capital to roll out its first product, WallyHome. The company is based in Seattle, WA. SNUPI Technologies launched with $1.5M in funding to commercialize a low-power wireless sensing technology that communicates over the extant wiring in homes and provides a web service for notifications. The company intends to use the capital to build the team and to design and build both hardware and software implementations. Backers include Madrona Venture Group, Radar Partners and the company’s founders Jeremy Jaech, Shwetak Patel and Matt Reynolds. SNUPI’s core technology (Sensor Network Utilizing Powerline Infrastructure) was developed at the University of Washington and the Georgia Institute of Technology. The article identifies the company as based in Seattle, WA.
