Ube Aims To Make Home Automation Cheaper With IP-Enabled Smart Devices, Mobile App

Home automation in its current state can be costly and, more importantly, unintuitive. But platforms like iOS and Android have made the idea of automating one's home easier, more accessible and significantly cheaper. Today at DEMO, Austin-based Ube ("yoo-bee") is showing off its "Internet of things" wares, including an app that can virtually control any IP-based smart device in your home. So far, the company has raised a $300,000 seed round to complete its first round of prototype hardware and first rev of the aforementioned mobile app (iOS, Android).
