Startup profile: TiO Home, aiming to make smart home tech easy to install, use (+ video)

Can the Internet of Things make your home safer and more efficient. Yes.

Can you use IoT easily – understanding it and using it?

What about home builders? How do they implement IoT?

Those are pain points Raleigh startup TiO Home is tackling.

By the way, TiO captures the goal: “Turn It On.”

Having already shown muscle as a startup by raising more than $6 million, TiO Home says it makes smart home technology “easy to understand and easy to use.”

“TiO’s integrated solution does not require any programming or new wiring,” says CEO Sanjay Patel.

“TiO is app based configuration that is simple and easy providing builders and homeowners. TiO also provides homeowners with the ability to fully customize their TiO smart home solution to their lifestyle without the need for a third party.”

TIO will be talking IoT solutions at the CED Tech Venture Conference on Sept. 19-20.
