Keeping up with today's family schedules and routines is a household challenge, As the family grows, the need for independent schedules and activities grows too, but there is still a need to keep everything tied together to be able to maintain day-to-day routines. To help cope with this need for orchestration and coordination, most families turn to technology. A number of apps and calendar sharing
sites have cropped up in the past decade or so to help meet this demand. As effective as each of these solutions might be for what they do, they all come with inherent technical requirements, challenges and limitations. They are designed for a particular platform --- Apple, Android, or Windows. They are available online and supplemented with a limited mobile application. They only address one particular need for the family, like grocery shopping, coupons, or location services. Most of these apps need a certain level of technical savvy to be fully effective. Some are just too complicated. The most common theme among these apps and tools, however, is the fact that they are designed to be used by one member of the household. Information can be shared in some of the apps with other family members but requires participation and is dependent on devices and mobile platforms. This is typically why one adult member of the family takes on the responsibility of managing schedules, coordinating family events, driving the young ones around while keeping everyone else informed and updated. There is no gadget available in the market today that brings all of the available technology and tools into one place for the entire family, one that enables communication and coordination for all members of the household. Introducing the HomeE! The idea is elegantly simple. The HomeE is a Wi-Fi connected device that can display all of the family's shared activities in a common living space so it’s easily visible. No logins to remember, no websites to visit, no software to download, and no gadgets to carry. It is a 10” (optional 13.3”), touchscreen, Wi-Fi enabled device designed to either hang on any wall in your home or sit on a coffee table. It integrates with all the major mobile platforms (Apple, Android and Windows) to bring together information from all smartphones, tablets, gadgets and websites into one single location and make it available to all members of the household without any need for ongoing participation. The HomeE is a Family Manager designed to make all day-to-day activities easy, manageable and secure for a family unit. It is a self-contained system built on a robust platform and scalable from a single family home to multi-family units, housing communities, gated neighborhoods, and perhaps even an entire city.
