unit will create a seamless integrated experience, allowing anyone to easily enroll devices and appliances and control them through a common platform and interface.

LinkPad will not supply sensors, automated devices, or other connected home peripherals. Customers will be able to connect their existing devices or purchase new devices and add them to their LinkPad system.

LinkPad’s hardware component, mounted on the wall, carries multiple radio modules and will support protocols for all major frequencies from certified manufacturers. The basic product will allow the user to create a self-configured home network of user supplied appliances, sensors, and other peripherals, with visual logic enabled self-configured rules for responses and actions.

Basic LinkPad service is provided via an existing wifi or 4G LTE connection to a designated account in the LinkPad’s cloud based server database. Human telemetric data from the user will enable enhanced customer experience, deliver digital advertising, and facilitate hyperlocalized real world interaction.

In addition to these services designed to encourage early and sticky adoption, the product will allow users to do a wide variety of things, with continuous reiteration around use cases, based on emergent behavior. The LinkPad platform will be open to partners for third party app development. LinkPad will bring to the smart home what the iOS and Android brought to the smart phone.
