Senic is a hardware and software company based in Berlin, dedicated to exploring and designing new ways for humans to interact with technology. Senic products look to make user experiences seamless and natural and go beyond limited screen-based UI. Senic crowdfunded their first product in an entire line of interfaces, smart surfaces and objects in 2015. Nuimo Control is an intuitive controller for your Sonos speakers, Philips Hue lights and more. No scrolling through menus, digging through apps or getting distracted by notifications. Just instant control with an easy setup that works. In October 2018, Senic released Nuimo Click: a wireless switch that gives everyone at home simple, one-click smart home control. Nuimo Click uses energy harvesting technology which generates enough energy each time you press it to send a wireless signal to the Nuimo Hub. This means it never needs to charge – ever. All Senic products are designed and manufactured in Germany. At Senic, the focus is not just technology – the focus is people, and how they can benefit from these technologies.
