Cloud-Based Energy Management Platform First Winner in Thread Enabler Program

The Thread Group announced the winner of its first quarterly Innovation Enabler Program (see 1501280033), which it launched in January to give early stage companies a quick way to develop products for the connected home. The Thread Group tapped Ubiant as winner for its cloud-based energy management platform. Thread said its networking protocol will be implemented into Ubiant’s Hemis, calling it the first real estate cloud platform to be empowered by “high-end learning abilities.” Hemis mimics the five senses and “understands its environment” by collecting and analyzing large amounts of information in real time, including a wide range of data covering temperature, humidity, brightness, carbon dioxide and human presence, said Thread. Ubiant will incorporate the Thread specification into the Hemis platform to “seamlessly and securely” connect it with other devices in the home, said Thread.
