Rithum produces a smart home control panel hub that is designed to replace a standard light switch. Despite our hardware offering, we are predominantly a software company, focusing on ease of use and reliability. Our initial offering serves as the foundation on which our bigger vision and moat will be built. We believe that in the future almost every room will be smart, and we have the incredible opportunity to be the go-to smart device in our built environment. VIOLET's hardware and premium software plugins are currently sold both D2C and through various distributors across Europe, with requests to stock our product inbound almost daily from across the world due to our unique integration set, ease of use and word of mouth on reliability.
