The launch of our next-gen Ome Smart Knob was covered by KBB, Kitchen & Bath Business, the official publication of KBIS!

Over 14 million older adults in the US live alone and 90% wish to remain in their own homes as they age. Many assistive devices already exist to support them on this path — from wearable health monitors and fall detection systems to smart home systems that control home lighting, temperature, and security. But there is a big gap in kitchen safety.

Ome’s Smart Knob is designed to fill this gap and address the most critical, unsolved safety concern in the home: unattended cooking — the #1 cause of house fires and a danger that disproportionately affects older adults.
