IOTEA
For a heartwarming cuppa.
OUR PRODUCT
IoTea is a state of the art office device that provides a perfectly tempered cup of tea every time.
Using a highly responsive thermometer, IoTea measures the temperature of your brew and carries out sophisticated algorithms in-house to alert you when your tea will be ready. It can communicate with your office computer wirelessly, providing live updates on the status of your tea. You'll never have to worry about your tea again, and can better redirect your focus towards those riveting spreadsheets. Additional sensors monitor the surroundings and send data back to us. This way, we can ensure your tea grows up in a loving, healthy environment.
Why crowd around the office watering hole when you can have highly sensitive conversations over a warm brew?
TEMPERATURE
Our engineers designed a state-of-the-art temperature probe which accuratly analyses your tea.Â
Using 6 readings per minute at an accuracy of +/- 0.5°C, IoTea calculates the remaining time before your tea is at the perfect temperature to drink using a heat loss algorithm.
The probe is manufactured out of non-toxic stainless steel and can easily be cleaned.
MICROPHONE
Once again, our team pushed the boundaries of tea with an integrated microphone.
We record your discussions automatically and use machine learning to ensure your conversations stay wholesome.
IoTea's algorithm is trained on movie reviews and saves your conversations to make our product better everyday.*

OUR UI
The IoTea app provides important information such as current tea temperature and a prediction as to when your tea will be ready. There is a graph that tracks the status of your tea. Now you can check up on it at all times and make sure it's not doing anything untealike.
We also include 2-way communication (encrypted MQTT) between the IoTea and your device so those pesky hackers can't access your personal data.
Of course, we also rate your conversation.
WHY?
IoTea listens to you. We care about your privacy. Or do we?
​
Smart doorbells, IoT dog feeder, internet-enabled toothbrushes and baby monitors are a few of the many examples of IoT devices that gained popularity over the last few years. Companies will convince you that you need their product to make your life easier, and safer. However, those claims are often double-sided. Amazon Ring makes sure you can keep your home safe from anywhere, but also say users’ video streams were available to engineers working on the product. Vtechs children’s technology line allows your child to safely interact with technology, but records their voices and posts them unencrypted online, endangering 2.5 million users.
IoT can be good provided done correctly.
​
Don’t risk your security by buying superfluous IoT devices.
