The app is built using standard IP protocols to easily control\u00a0IP enabled smart devices for the connected home from an iPhone or Android smartphone,\u00a0eliminating the expense of extra hardware and programming. The app can control over 200 IP\u00a0based devices including smart TVs, set top boxes, AV receivers, DVD players, thermostats,<br \/>\ngarage door openers and more. Ube communicates with IP enabled devices directly from the\u00a0smart phone using a standard Wi-Fi router to send commands when the user is at home or over\u00a0any wireless internet connection when away from home using the Ube Cloud. To extend\u00a0consumer control into systems that lack an IP connection, the company unveiled three key IP<br \/>\nenabled devices. These include an IP based smart dimmer, smart wall outlet and smart plug. By\u00a0moving the intelligence into the device \u2013 where it belongs &#8211; these smart energy devices enable\u00a0simple, intuitive smartphone control of home lighting and other appliances.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201cCreating a truly connected home without Ube costs thousands of dollars, requires specialized\u00a0central processing hardware and even more expensive programming and maintenance,\u2019\u00a0commented Utz Baldwin, Co-founder and CEO of Ube. \u201cWith Ube, anyone can control systems\u00a0and devices in their home using a Smartphone, a Wi-Fi Router and the Cloud. Lights, TVs, Set<br \/>\nTop Boxes, Thermostats and much more become easily accessible.
