It was during the 2018 edition of CES, a key event for technological innovation in consumer electronics, that we presented Ugo for the first time.

Otodo’s first CES event was a success with the showcasing of Ugo, Otodo’s Magic Wand, at our partners’ booths: Sagemcom, MicroEJ and 4mod.

There were visits from Mounir Mahjoubi, Secretary of State for the Digital Economy, and also from Valérie Pécresse, President of the Ile-de-France Region.

We would also like to mention that we won 3 awards: honored at the CES Innovation Awards in the “Smart Home” category and selected as one of the best innovations by GearBrain and Domadoo, experts in Smart Home and connected devices.

Sagemcom is a French high-tech Group that is international in scope and operates in broadband markets (set-top boxes, residential gateways, multimedia terminals), smart city (end-to-end solutions for smart metering and smart grid) and the Internet of Things (founding member of the LoRa Alliance). Sagemcom has a turnover of over €1.8 billion, and employs 4,000 personnel on five continents. The company aims to remain a world leader in high value-added communicating terminals.

In April 2016, Otodo first attended SIdO. At that time, the company had not yet been created, but the idea was already taking shape. This exhibition, a major event in the ecosystem, provided an opportunity for Otodo to forge its first partnerships. At the third SIdO Exhibition in April 2017, the company was only a few months old. Participating at SIdO was an effective springboard for us to gain visibility for our solution, and was the most suitable place for our first show.

For the second year in a row we were at SIdO, the Internet of Things Exhibition. We had our own stand, and were also at the stand of our partner, Orange. This event was an opportunity for us to present our Otodo One solution and Ugo, our universal remote control.

While the CES, a global event for consumer innovation, opened its doors for the 52nd time, it was Otodo’s second edition, with a presence in the smart home market place at Sands Expo. But also within the Sagemcom ballroom, located at the Venetian. So we started our year in Las Vegas, from January 8 to 11, to introduce you to our solution and new features. This year we were one of the 400 start-ups representing La French Tech!

The European Utility Week brings together all the key European players in the energy transition. Come and meet us from 12 to 14 November at the European Utility Week alongside our partner Sagemcom. We look forward to seeing you at booth G110 in Hall 1 for a unique demonstration! Otodo & Sagemcom will demonstrate the interaction of an electricity metering system and the Otodo solution: or when the connected house is committed to energy efficiency.

Otodo & Renault Group preview a “car to home” connectivity solution. This unexpected collaboration ensures a secure connection between Renault vehicles and users’ homes.

For this 2020 edition, Otodo had a special guest on its stand with a live demonstration that you should not miss.

Otodo and the Renault Group indeed presented a preview of a connectivity solution between the car and the home. This new service is a joint creation between the teams of Groupe Renault and Otodo.

The universal Otodo platform is the technological core of this new service and allows to build the secure, authentication-based link between the car and the connected objects at home.

Otodo has been developing a technology platform that remote-controls a wide variety of home appliances and connected objects, in various countries, since 2016. With this new application, Otodo’s technology will also handle instructions sent directly from a car.

Connected Home Over IP (or CHIP) is a new protocol initiated by internet giants Google, Amazon, Apple. Many companies are continuously joining the CHIP project proving the relevance and interest for the new standard.

The standard which will be released at the end of 2020 will allow devices of different brands, which will adopt this standard, to communicate natively with each other and improve their interoperability. The end user will be able to manage objects from different vendors together without any need for additional configuration.
