IFSEC’s increased focus on IoT allowed Essence to showcase what they have been doing for years Essence, a provider of IoT, cloud-based connected living solutions, will be showcasing its WeR@Home Home Management Platform at the upcoming IFSEC International security exhibition in London to show how service providers can benefit from the new opportunities created by IoT.

Essence to present Nest compatibility, new video services, and announce partnership with FPT Telecom at MWC 2016

Essence’s WeR@Home Smart Living solution has recently been awarded “Works with Nest” approval Essence, a leading provider of IoT, cloud-based connected living solutions, has created new service revenue opportunities for operators and service providers with valuable enhancements to its ecosystem. Essence’s WeR@Home Smart Living solution has recently been awarded “Works with Nest” approval, adding significant value to users of the Nest Self-Learning Thermostat. Integrating Nest into Essence’s home management system allows it to disable the home’s heating/cooling system as soon as the house is empty and immediately detect if windows have been left open, resulting in decreased energy efficiency. Additionally, Nest’s ability to detect an empty home can automatically arm the home’s alarm system if homeowners have forgotten to do so. With WeR@Home’s soon-to-be-released video management platform, users will enjoy high quality video monitoring directly from their WeR@Home mobile app while service providers will gain new revenue opportunities through added playback and analytics capabilities. “Service providers need easy-to-integrate home management solutions that provide real value both to themselves and their customers,” says Essence CEO & founder Dr. Haim Amir. “Each enhancement to our technology is focused on delivering that in a simple, intuitive system.” WeR@Home and Care@Home security solutions Essence service platforms offer two flagship products: WeR@Home and Care@Home. WeR@Home delivers a complete DIY home management, security, and safety solution. Thanks to its Z-Wave compatibility, consumers can control more than 1,000 other home management devices from Essence’s easy-to-use app from any screen and device. Care@Home is a suite of senior telecare solutions focused on increasing the independence of the elderly living at home. Essence announces a new partner, FPT Telecom, Vietnam’s second largest mobile telecommunications operator, which will soon be launching its service based on Essence’s WeR@Home Connected Home platform. FPT is currently in the midst of a pilot to provide its users with a seamless Smart Home experience, providing home management, safety, and security. As Essence’s first mobile operator in Asia, WeR@Home allows FPT to take a leadership role in bringing the connected home to the Vietnamese market. “At Essence, we’re completely focused on increasing business value for service providers, creating a quick go-to-market system that have been proven among other leading operators and service providers around the world like Telecom Italia, GetSafe in the U.S., G4S in Denmark, and Hills Health in Australia,” concluded Dr. Amir.

Essence upgrades WeR@HomeTM Multi-service Connected Home platform
Essence upgrades WeR@HomeTM Multi-service Connected Home platform

Essence, leading provider of IoT, cloud-based connected-living solutions, has significantly enhanced the features of its award-winning WeR@HomeTM Multi-service Connected Home platform. WeR@Home is now one of the first Smart Home solutions that lets consumers receive alerts, control their home security, and manage their home automation from their Apple® Watches. This version of WeR@Home allows service providers to offer tiered activity levels, increasing the flexibility of their offerings. Meanwhile, the Multi-Place feature gives end-users the ability to control and manage more than one location from a single smartphone app. Apple Watch application With the Apple Watch application, WeR@Home users can take care of things on the go: Arm and disarm the system in all the pre-set arming modes Receive event notifications Control their Z-Wave home automation and energy management devices Create shortcuts that allow them to quickly perform functions such as running Smart Automation rules or getting peace of mind by taking videos from the cameras WeR@Home™ offers a seamless connected-home experience for security, safety, and remote home management. Featuring cloud-to-cloud integration and Z-wave-based integration, WeR@Home lets consumers control more than 1,000 devices – everything from security and nanny cams to stereos and thermostats. Enhances customer usability “Consumers want complete control of their home where they want it. The Apple Watch application enhances the customer usability,” said Dr. Haim Amir, Essence Chairman & CEO. “Meanwhile, for service providers, we’ve designed the newest features so they have the option to introduce services with a basic package and then offer premium services without any integration or custom programming requirements and available on the most advanced devices. They can also structure their service packages by values such as security, energy, or child care.” The features provided in the basic and premium service offerings are defined in advance, allowing different levels of automation rules capabilities in accordance with the customers’ wishes. For example, the basic package provides scheduling, like setting the alarm to arm itself at any given time, while the advanced offerings can set more advanced “if this/then that and that...” parameters, such as turning the lights on or off when activating the alarm. Multi-Place function aid end-users to manage secondary homes The Multi-Place function allows end-users to manage secondary homes as well as their main residences. Users can also have limited access to other people’s homes such as a parent, neighbor or customers, in the case of nannies or domestic professionals servicing several clients. Essence’s feature-laden connected-living solutions are accessible from anywhere and any device, with the mobile app equipped with the exact same capabilities as the web control system. Essence’s recent study of IoT usage showed that most people used their mobile remote access for visual confirmation of home security. “No matter how complex the system backend actually is, we never lose sight of the fact that it must remain simple to implement and use and easily adjustable in accordance with changing consumer needs. The Apple Watch interface is just that.” concluded Dr. Amir.

Essence has defined the One PlayTM framework, giving service providers the flexibility to tailor a complete range of hardware Essence, the leading provider of IoT, cloud-based connected-living solutions, predicts another year of solid growth for the Internet of Things and Smart Solutions for the connected life. “2014 saw rapid growth across the connected home space, including significant investments from big players like Google and Apple. Similarly, Essence expanded our customer base of WeR@HomeTM, launching complete solutions for security service providers and telecom operators,” says Haim Amir, PhD, Chairman and CEO of Essence. “‘Simple,’ ‘easy to use,’ and ‘value’ are driving consumer interest and sales, which is why they’ve always been the focus of our solutions.” Essence has defined the One PlayTM framework, giving service providers the flexibility to tailor a complete range of hardware, software, and services that meet consumers’ needs, quickly and conveniently, providing significant value for home security and safety, home automation, remote home management, and home care for the elderly. Essence has been recognised with the European Consumer’s Choice Award for 2014 and the Broadband Infovision Award for the WeR@HomeTM home service innovation.

Essence launched Care@HomeTM, an innovative solution that helps seniors maintain their independence while providing peace of mind for them and their family members. Its unique algorithms learn seniors’ behavioral patterns and alerts professionals and select family members via an app if there’s any deviation from their daily routines. Care@HomeTM’s first customer, Natali, the largest healthcare provider in Israel, has almost doubled its ARPU levels by offering the solution as part of a suite of services. “For more than 20 years, we’ve adopted and implemented key principles of superb customer experience, high quality, and reliability to develop innovative, affordable solutions that are attractive to mass adoption,” said Dr. Amir. “As a B2B2C provider, we believe our partner service providers will see significant growth in customer adoption rates by providing valuable services in the connected home, using our modular, cost-effective solutions.”
