Protonet Zoe – Smart Home Hub with Full Data Sovereignty
With a firm focus on the $15.6 billion industry of US alone, Protonet is focusing on ease and convenience of devices while not compromising on security measures.
Lack of privacy has been a major concern for many. This fact inspired Protonet to create Zoe, a smart home hub that is being funded through an indigenous Indiegogo campaign. Since it is not connected to the cloud or any server, the device offers greater data security for owners.
Here is the first cloud-independent Smart Home Hub that promises full data sovereignty. This smart home hub is known to understand more than 1,500 different commands, includes comprehensive voice control drops, 2 GB encrypted storage, a completely decentralized system and is open source.
The makers believe that any fractional improvement of the device being connected to a huge data center is not worthy of cloud connections and thus losing data security and privacy.
4 Basic Features of the Protonet Zoe
- The hub listens and is extremely adaptive.
- An easy to use hub that is attractive in design.
- Compatible with other smart home products.
- Includes full data sovereignty with no private data stored in external cloud service.
