SMAHO, cloud based device control

SMAHO brings device control to the cloud

The company’s vendor-agnostic consumer IoT SaaS platform offers manufacturers a cloud-based remote control solution out-of-the-box, including app control, voice control and automation.

SMAHO is

  • designed from scratch with security and encryption in mind, offering a brand-safe and GDPR compliant solution off the shelf.
  • is integrated into many known platforms like Alexa, Google Home and Siri and the companies’ App is available on the App Store and Google Play.

Device manufacturers can benefit from SMAHO’s standard software approach instead of putting much effort and money into in-house development.
