We’re honored to be featured in a recent Forbes article discussing advancements in smart home technology that enhance comfort, convenience, and cost-efficiency. The article highlights Ome's innovative solutions, emphasizing our commitment to integrating smart technology into everyday living spaces.

“Akshita Iyer, CEO and founder of Ome, a smart stove knob showcased at 2025 CES, shares her ideas about how kitchens and homes will be adopting technology in the future.

“We have to be looking at ecosystems that will be sustainable and useful for the next 10 years,” she said. “That can bridge the gap between many sensors to create an experience for the customer.”

With its personalization features and ability to cater to needs and wants, the home will become a central character in the household. Akshita envisions a ‘companion kitchen’ that is a space that adapts to the user’s lifestyle, enhances safety, and promotes healthier living without the need for a manual.

“Kitchens will anticipate user needs — preheating ovens or adjusting recipes for health goals,” she wrote. “Motion, gesture, and sensors will react to passive behaviors — lowering burner heat or suggesting meals based on pantry contents. Appliances will adapt to habits and tastes, improving results and accessibility for aging populations and people with disabilities. Smart kitchens will actively reduce food waste and energy use through zero-waste fridges and real-time monitoring.””

Our flagship product, the Ome Smart Knob, exemplifies these trends by transforming traditional stoves into smart appliances, improving kitchen safety, convenience, and accessibility. We’re excited to be recognized by Forbes for our dedication to developing technologies that not only simplify daily routines but also promote a safer and more efficient home environment.
