Growth in the smart home industry is explosive. However, each device you bring into your home uses its own app. After a while, you have to remember which app controls which device in each room. We call it App Overload. Unfortunately, these devices all speak different languages and use different protocols, so they can’t communicate with each other.
We created AtmosControl, which our research has revealed, is the world’s 1st smart home control to combine all 5 of the most popular smart home protocols (Wifi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave, and Infrared) with voice, touch, smartphone, and gesture controls. Think of it as a universal remote control for all of your smart home devices, regardless of their brand or manufacturer. With 1000s of compatible devices, it’s the only smart home control you’ll need.
Did you know that your smart home may be listening to you?
Digital assistants such as Amazon Alexa are being used for smart home device control and many users are not even aware that these devices’ microphones are always on and recording them, and that many times these recordings are being listened to by employees of the companies that make them. This is a huge privacy issue. These companies are profiting from your data at the expense of your privacy.
Atmos Home is different – we don’t want or need your data – we’re not selling you ads or products based on your preferences that we’ve gathered by listening to you, unlike other companies.
AtmosControl, which our research has revealed, is the world’s first standalone smart home hub that can decipher voice commands completely on-board, without sending your voice data to the cloud, making Atmos Home the leader in smart home privacy.
*All product images included in this video are of production beta units of the Atmos Home products. Our pre-order stage has ended, so we can focus on beta testing and get ready for production.
McKinsey & Co learned that 16% of the 127.6M US households are smart homes and 44% of those have 2+ devices, and nearly half of those want a control for these devices. Today, that translates to an audience of 4.4M households (Serviceable Available Market). By 2021, Kagan predicts 28% of households will be smart homes, which would translate to 7.9M households, using the same metrics for multiple devices and desire for a control. Capturing 10% will deliver 790K households and 1.9M households at 25% (Serviceable Obtainable Market). The bottom line is, a growing portion of the population is looking for the smart home control we are building.
1000+ customers and over $1.2M in investment
In early 2019, we sold 1000+ AtmosControl device in a 120 day, pre-launch sales period. And we have international interest from 150+ smart home installers and builders who want to resell our solutions.
We also won the Residential Systems Award at the Consumer Electronics Show, were featured on ABC by Clark Howard, were a finalist for American Inno Tech, and honored with press coverage by CNet, ZDNet, Digital Trends, McAfee, Tech Radar, among others.
To date we've raised over $1.2M, including a $900K investment from Luminance Brands, a strategic industry partner. This summer, we built our manufacturing line and successfully conducted our 1st production run. In September, we started beta testing with a handful of our earliest customers.
AtmosControl has beauty, brawn, and brains. Inside is a quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, radio chips for all 5 protocols, proximity and light sensors, far-field microphone array, quad speaker modules, and a front-facing camera with high definition display. Once Atmos has connected to your smart home devices, you can say “Hey Atmos...” to control them. You can also use the touchscreen, iOS and Android smartphone apps, or even swipe your hand in front of it as you walk past.
We build the smart home products that people are looking for
Atmos Home is a hardware OEM, and will market and sell its products via its website, online distributors (Amazon), and possibly brick-and-mortar retail. We make money when we sell our products. The average order value during the pre-order phase was approximately $400. When we begin manufacturing, we expect our gross margins to be approximately 45% and ramping to 65% over the next 2 years.
At the time of publication, AtmosControl is believed to be the only affordable, plug-and-play, and platform-agnostic smart home hub to combine all 5 of the most popular communication protocols (Wifi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave, and Infrared) with touch, voice, smartphone, and gesture controls.
We have competitors in home automation companies like Crestron and Control4, but they only target high-end homes, charging $12K and up. Their solutions are only available from and installed by licensed dealers, meaning customers can’t add their own devices. Unlike them, our products are affordable, easy-to-use and customer friendly.
This summer, we built our manufacturing line and successfully conducted our 1st production run. Building them in our own facility results in increased efficiency for product iterations and bug fixes, it’s faster for on-demand manufacturing and shipping, it’s cheaper due to 10-25% tariffs and the rising cost of labor in countries where consumer electronics are usually manufactured, and it frees up the cash typically required for a large up-front volume purchase from a contract manufacturer.
Other smart home device manufacturers, including Wyze, June, and Control4, have already warned customers that price hikes are coming. We regularly evaluate our costs and we will revisit once we’re at scale, with predictable growth and demand.
After proving product/market fit during a 120 day, pre-launch sales period where we sold 1000+ AtmosControl device, we continued getting sales requests from consumers and potential resellers, internationally. There is clearly a rapidly growing, audience that is clamoring for AtmosControl.
We’re launching our next product, AtmosSwitch, in 2020. It will instantly convert existing lights to smart lighting. Through this, you will be able to adjust your lights with your voice or with its touchscreen, and it will include music and climate controls, as well as access to other Atmos features.
The core Atmos team has depth and breadth in hardware design, product development, production, and scaling growth. Each member on their own is extremely accomplished. Mark Lyle, who is in charge of product development, previously sold a wireless hardware manufacturer for $24M. Our designer, Chris Ladwig, has won awards for his work, and our engineering team has made products used by law enforcement and NASA.
We're simplifying smart home tech
We see ourselves becoming the Apple of smart homes. We want our devices in every smart home and we’re fortunate to have timed the market well. Smart devices, like Alexa, Ring, Nest, and Hue, have paved the way for several years and created the need for a smart home hub to manage them all, easily and affordably. It is our time and with your help, we see ourselves becoming big players in the smart home market. Join us!
We believe AtmosControl to be the only smart home solution with our feature set and price point. We have proven product/market fit and have assembled a core team with vast experience (and considerable success) in their respective areas of expertise.

An Important Update for Our Investors,
We are excited to announce that as of May 2022, we are officially rebranding Atmos Home as axxios. The impetus for this rebrand revolves around one reason one in particular.
In 2021, 40% of homes in the United States were smart homes. A concerning issue with this statistic is the amount of privacy that most smart home products lack. While devices such as Amazon Alexa use microphones that are always on and recording, axxios does not require the use of “the cloud” for speech recognition or any other function. Instead, your axxios devices will use completely private internal speech recognition and database so that your data - conversations, smart device settings, routines, etc. - will never leave your home network. Privacy is our number one priority, so you can have peace of mind when using any of our products, knowing that big tech will not be profiting from your data.
While we will still be launching our axxios Control Series, which you can think of as your smart home’s dashboard, we are developing additional powerful products that we think will truly complete your smart home experience. From the axxios Light Series, the axxios Remote, and the axxios Link, there will be plenty of powerful options to choose from when setting up your axxios system.
So what’s next for axxios? The past several months have come with their own unique set of challenges, but at the same time, exciting developments. The future of our brand is looking brighter than ever. We are currently building the world’s first truly private smart home control ecosystem with a wide range of products. We value your contribution to our journey to create a more private smart home experience and are grateful for your investment and excited to share this journey along with you.

Atmos Home Investors,
In 2018, Atmos Home set out on a mission to simplify the smart home experience. Thanks to you, our generous investors and visionaries, we have raised over $2.4 million in order to turn this idea into a reality. After our last campaign ended, we were hard at work building Atmos Home but failed to prioritize one of the most important aspects of equity crowdfunding – communication with our investors! We recognize our lack of transparency and vow a renewed commitment to our Atmos community. For these reasons, we have added a new member to our team to tackle these issues head on.
Austin joins our team as our Communications Manager with over 5 years of experience in this field. He will be managing all of our comments that we failed to address during our last campaign as well as any future comments that you have. Austin will serve as our liaison to answer your questions regarding Atmos’ progress, investment inquiries, and any other future updates or concerns. You can also reach him directly at austin@atmoshome.com.
Startups, unfortunately, aren’t overnight sensations but that doesn’t mean that we don’t have exciting developments to be revealed very soon. Remember, together we are a team. Without our great number of investors, we are unable to continue building what we believe to be the “Apple of the Smart Home”. That is why we have decided, from this day forward, we will be overly transparent rather than not transparent at all. This is a promise we are making to everybody who believed in Atmos Home from the beginning and everyone else that joins along the way.

Cancel anytime before 48 hours before a rolling close or the offering end date.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.

Hello Atmos Home Team, We are a custom A/V integrator that started out building high end home automation solutions for our clients, however, we eventually moved into commercial A/V integration. We still have a tremendous passion for building smart homes but the idea of only selling high end custom smart home solutions always bothered us as it was not available to the masses and cost prohibitive for most consumers. Our mission is to help consumers build smart, reliable smart home systems that really are more of a blend between custom high end home automation systems and the DIY products in the market. I have personally spent the last several years using only off the shelf DIY smart home products in my home rather than the custom systems we install to try to create a workable solution for our customers. I have tried all the major off-the-shelf solutions for my main control from Homekit, Google and Alexa and have been extremely disappointed with the experience. We are interested in becoming a reseller of Atmos Home products and feel they would be a great fit for our customers. Please advise how we can become a channel reseller for your products. We look forward to working with Atmos team!
