As hardware gets more complex, the user experience must not.

The product has to answer three questions clearly, on the device and in the app.

01How do devices connect?
02How are parameters controlled?

Once a device ships, the product only begins to serve users

Firmware updates are delivered over the air with a safe path back if anything goes wrong.
