The smart home is not a new concept. We’ve seen TV shows and movies for years that have teased the concept of intelligent homes that can communicate and interact with us, but we’re not there yet. A variety of connected devices have been introduced into our homes for the last several years, but there continues to be a common problem.
Smartphone Control Isn't Smart
“No more of this ‘smartphone control makes everything super amazing’ nonsense.” -Slashgear
Most smart home device makers flaunt smartphone control because it sounds futuristic and convenient. The truth is that unlocking your phone, waiting for apps to open, and navigating everything on one small screen is a cumbersome way to turn on your lights or adjust the temperature.
Atmos Smart Home Control
The Atmos Smart Home Control System is a next-generation smart home device that brings the control of all your connected devices together. It’s the smartest, easiest way to control your home with simple voice commands and touchscreen navigation, using the sleek, high-definition interface.
Atmos has been in development for almost 2 years, and now with your help, we're ready to launch into production and smart homes everywhere. We're seeking your investment to help us make Atmos the future of the smart home!

Simply put, this is the concept of basically connecting any device with an on and off switch to the Internet (and/or to each other). This includes everything from cellphones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones, lamps, wearable devices and almost anything else you can think of. The analyst firm Gartner says that by 2020 there will be over 26 billion connected devices... that's a lot of connections. The IoT is a giant network of connected "things" (which also includes people).
The new rule for the future is going to be, "Anything that can be connected, will be connected." But why on earth would you want so many connected devices talking to each other? Imagine this scenario: You wake up in the morning, your smart home senses that you've gotten out of bed, so it starts the coffee maker, adjusts the climate control to your preferred temperature, turns on the news, and wakes the kids. Sound like science fiction? Not anymore.

BI Intelligence cites technological fragmentation as the largest challenge facing today's smart home industry. “Currently, there are many networks, standards, and devices being used to connect the smart home, creating interoperability problems and making it confusing for the consumer to set up and control multiple devices.” - BI Intelligence
What does this mean? It means that most smart home devices don't communicate using the same protocols or language. Some devices use Wi-Fi, some Bluetooth, and many utilize established home automation standards such as Zigbee and Z-Wave. Older devices might even use radio frequency or infrared. To make many of these devices smartphone compatible requires adding 3rd party hardware and complexity to your connected home.
With the number of connected devices in our homes skyrocketing the challenge is becoming how to control them all conveniently. Most connected device makers have chosen the smartphone as their preferred method of controlling their devices. With each connected device having it’s own app, a smart home with more than one or two connected devices has become extremely unintuitive to interact with. Unlocking your phone, waiting for the connected device apps to open, and navigating everything on one small screen is a cumbersome way to turn on your lights or adjust the temperature.
Tell Atmos to turn on the kitchen lights or even queue up your favorite Spotify playlist. Control all of your devices effortlessly using just your voice.
So many of our connected devices today incorporate video, whether it's a baby monitor or security camera, Atmos gives you convenient access to these devices, without having to use your smart phone.
Atmos is compatible with most major brands of home automation products out of the box and we're adding more every day. Philips Hue, Belkin WeMo, Nest, Sonos, Spotify, and DirecTV, just to name a few.
Atmos simplifies the smart home by unifying the control of all its connected devices. With all of the major smart home communication standards built in, Atmos can control virtually anything:
The Atmos Expand Smart Switch instantly adds smart lighting control to your home without the need to replace your existing bulbs. Once installed, just swipe up or down on the touchscreen to adjust your current lighting levels. The Atmos Expand Smart Switch also integrates with your Atmos Smart Home Control system, bringing the core Atmos functions to each room with an Atmos smart switch. Utilize full voice control functionality as well as the main features of the Atmos Smart Home Control user interface.
The Atmos Expand Smart Switch also solves another major problem. Many smart lighting systems cease to operate when no Wi-Fi signal is present. Atmos has solved this problem by developing a proprietary interface between the main Atmos Smart Home Control and Atmos Expand Smart Switches that do not require Wi-Fi or any other wireless standard. Your smart lighting has never been so reliable.
Bring voice control and amazing sound performance to every room with the Atmos Surround Smart Speaker. Unlike other smart speakers, the Atmos Surround is deeply integrated with the Atmos Smart Home Control System. Use voice commands to utilize any of your Atmos connected smart devices such as lights and climate control or start your favorite playlist hands free. We've integrated a high definition touchscreen into the top surface of the Atmos Surround for precise control of your music or other smart home device controls. Sync multiple Atmos Surrounds together for a whole home sound experience like no other.
Designed from the ground up for premium sound performance and to be the perfect complement to your Atmos Smart Home Control System.
The Atmos Home Control System has been in development for almost 2 years. In that time we've developed the hardware, software, firmware, mechanical, and various other aspects of the products. We've completed multiple functional prototypes, and now, with your help, we're ready to launch Atmos Home products into manufacturing.
The Atmos team has taken hundreds of products from prototype to full-scale production, in some cases manufacturing tens of thousands of devices per week. We have vast experience in Design for Manufacturability, supply chain management and procurement, quality control, and full manufacturing facility design.

Hello! Recently, a change was made to the Atmos offering. Here's an excerpt describing the specifics of the change:
Atmos Home Inc. is extending their offering.
When live offerings undergo changes like these on StartEngine, the SEC requires that certain investments be reconfirmed. If your investment requires reconfirmation, you will be contacted by StartEngine via email with further instructions.
It’s been an exciting time over the last several months here at Atmos Home, and we wanted to share some of our recent progress. We are nearing the completion of our hardware development work, and we’ve recently finalized the tooling for our Atmos Control LCD touchscreen. Also, we’ve nearly finalized the main printed circuit board assembly, and have successfully implemented all targeted functionality. Also, we’re excited to announce a new optional Atmos Control metal frame surface finish – black anodized.
We want to pass along our sincere thanks as all of the progress we’ve made wouldn’t have been possible without you, our investors. Additionally, in the coming days, we’ll have an even more exciting announcement, so please watch out for future updates.
Sincerely,
The Atmos Team
