so what we're doing is we're extending the uma platform to communicate Genest devices and one of the examples is that if your smoke alarm goes off there's a fire in your house you're away from home we can call you on your cell phone and then we can let you know that there's a smoke alarm going off and give you the option to call 911 so like within the call it says press 1 for 9-1-1 or something like that okay exactly and the key is that the 9-1-1 call is made using your home phone number and address and therefore the public safe to the answering point who answers the call will know where to send the emergency response personnel when they need to respond ok so how how does my phone tie into a thermostat though great question so the thermostat on on with nest actually collects data about whether or not you're at home or not and they use that to conserve energy to reduce you know bandwidth use energy usage and we tie into that same intelligence and use that data for other things so for example one thing that we do is if you're away from home we can forward your calls to your cell phone automatically and then once you return home we can turn off call forwarding and your home phone will ring just like it does usually on and off just because you walk in the door and walk past the nest it just knows if you're home or not and it changed the 40 okay you mentioned something else about getting alerts when people come home that's right we have something called check in monitoring and this is perfect if you have someone in your home who keeps a set schedule so for example my son who was supposed to come home between 2:30 and 3:30 everyday I can set up my uma system to call me whenever he deviates from that schedule so let's say he doesn't come home one day at 3:30 I can get a call alert from my Ummah saying the person that you expected didn't check in do you want to call him and therefore I can check out that now where it's all about proximity in some way or another so you're working with nest among other companies but where else do you want to have a connect with because I think nest is one of the major smart hubs you could say I mean Google wants to be one of the main hubs so does Apple's Siri we do we're seeing a lot of things on the floor with Apple Siri homekit where but are you trying to work with Siri - or what's what what's it look like in the future for sure well we think that the umma makes for a great platform for home automation and we think that communication will add another layer of convenience safety and security to users so I think it makes a lot of sense for the two to Co together and we're looking to partner with other companies in the Internet of Things in home automation realm to make for for new experiences Belkin may be next or able to say a little insight into like where the hop at least the hot couple you're looking at yeah well we focused on the consumer market so we're looking for the winners and the comes to consumer space ness is obviously a leader and there are others in the space that we hope to partner with very soon okay well this is clearly a look at what the smart home really is getting at it's more than just the one device in your home but it's having the multiple things all talk to each other all work together yeah thanks for joining us I really appreciate it
