COVI: Speech-Enabled Light & Open Source Smart Home Hub
COVI is a speech-enabled light that automates your home - the perfect balance of open source smart home tech and interior design!
COVI is a smart speech interface. You can ask questions and make requests in an innately human way - no screens or menus necessary.
As a speech interface enabled device, COVI provides support and control of your smart home in a seamless way - blending into the background until you need it. COVI works with Amazon Alexa, so you can start talking to it and asking questions from the moment it arrives. The integrated system is cloud-based, which means it’s always getting smarter and more in tune with you.
COVI understands and adapts to your natural cycles. COVI embodies Senic’s belief that technology should promote the wellbeing of users. COVI has a preset that mimics the quality of natural light throughout the day. COVI provides the right blend of cool white light for your morning wake-up routine and warm white as you relax before bed.
COVI is built on an open source platform. The Senic team, along with outside developers, contributes to this platform to create the integrations for COVI. Thanks to this platform, installers and integrators that are interested in home automation can easily incorporate COVI into their unique ecosystem of devices.
COVI is a piece of furniture first and foremost - it blends stylishly into your home while supporting your daily activities. COVI’s design pays homage to a traditional kerosene lamp. The knob, previously reserved for regulating the flow of oil, has been modernized into a dimming switch that controls high-quality warm and cool white LEDs.
Light has a massive impact on human wellbeing and our ability to focus or relax. This is a result of the particular qualities of natural light that change throughout the day. The body is naturally responsive to cool-toned light and releases hormones that signal the brain to wake up and be alert. Alternatively, warm-toned light puts the brain at ease, making it easier to relax and fall asleep.
