Yetu AG is developing a simple smart-home platform for end users that it plans to extend into commercial markets. The company uses a single piece of hardware and an open platform with web apps that work irrespective of operating system. Rather than relying on additional sensors or actors, Yetu emphasizes algorithms and big data to infer home state and increase ease of use. Its dashboard can monitor an Internet connection, energy usage, and heating, and lets users shut systems down when not in use. The platform exposes open APIs so embedded systems can talk directly to Yetu. The company has raised $8 million in Series A capital as it builds toward broad adoption across entertainment, home automation, energy management, security, and ambient assisted living markets.
