Universal Electronics Inc. (UEI), a creator of smart home technology, will launch of its QuickSet HomeSense technology at the upcoming International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January.
QuickSet HomeSense, first introduced as part of QuickSet 7 SDK release, is designed to revolutionize the smart home experience by adding a layer of on-device intelligence that learns from home environment and connected devices and adapts to user behavior and environment changes, making homes more intuitive and efficient.
The technology leverages advanced wireless capabilities to better understand the home and adapt to the habits of the occupants. Smart and timely events enable occupancy and presence detection to personalize home automation and entertainment experiences. With continuous on-device learning capabilities from connected devices, QuickSet HomeSense understands and adapts to changes in the home and habits. For instance, QuickSet HomeSense can detect when a user is nearby and adjust the HVAC settings to their personalized temperature preferences or switch the home mode to ‘away’ when no one is present, optimizing energy management and enhancing security.
When QuickSet HomeSense is used in combination with QuickSet 7’s rules engine, input data from a wide range of home devices and sensors can be processed with user preferences to generate control decisions for various home automation tasks. This can include adjusting heating and cooling levels, controlling fan speeds, personalizing entertainment experience,and managing lighting and other smart devices based on real-time data and user habits.
Key features include automated energy management that can detect when users are home or away and adjust settings; personalized HVAC settings based on user proximity and behavior; support of on-device offline rules and automations, allowing it to operate without constant internet connectivity; app-less occupancy detection and relative location and user movement sensing.
“This innovative technology is designed to empower smart home device manufacturers to build more responsive and personalized services on their devices,” said Arsham Hatambeiki, senior vice president of products and technology at UEI. “By learning from user behavior and device interactions, QuickSet HomeSense can enable a truly intelligent home with devices that adapt to the needs and preferences of its occupants. We believe this will significantly enhance the user experience and unlock new possibilities for smart home devices.”
