A few years ago, our founder almost burned his house down because he forgot to turn off the stove. Then his wife forgot just a few months later. That’s when his wife said something that propelled him on an exciting new journey, “Why can’t I just check on the stove from my phone?” That’s the question that launched this technology company.
Since then, we learned that incidents like these happen with alarming frequency. Many people aren’t so lucky -- stoves are the number one cause of house fires in America. So we assembled a team of talented engineers to tackle the problem head-on. We’ve developed a product that makes any stove smart, and helps prevent home fires by alerting you if you forget to turn it off.
We hope our products give you peace of mind like they've done for our families.
