Ube, the company co-founded by former CEDIA CEO Utz Baldwin and semiconductor industry veteran Glen Burchers, was awarded the People’s Choice Award for its myube product during DEMO Fall 2012, a convention for emerging technologies and trends, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA, on Wednesday October 3. The company was presented with a promise of $1 million worth of media (advertising) from IDG properties.

The control platform, which incorporates a mobile application that resides on iPhone or Android devices and communicates via Wi-Fi while you’re at home or through the company’s software as a service (SaaS) while you’re away from home or away from any of these devices, is intended for owners of home in the $300,000-plus price range, rather than custom estate homes of $750,000 or more that custom integrators typically target.
According to reporting by Ted Green on his strata-GEE.com blog, ube won the award in competition with 77 other companies vying for the attention of the judges. Ube was showcased in the event’s “Big Data” category.
