Newest Ooma Telo Integrations Make Home Phone Service Smarter Than
Ever
Ooma,
Inc. (NYSE: OOMA), a leading smart business and home communications
platform, today announced that its Ooma Telo home phone service now
integrates with even more connected devices and services including Apple
Watch, Android Wear, Philips Hue, WeMo, LIFX light bulbs and Dropbox, in
addition to Ooma’s current integrations with Nest and Amazon Echo.
“Ooma’s smart home phone service can be the centerpiece of your
connected home, enhancing the services provided by our partners and
creating new ways for you to interact with your home phone,” said Eric
Stang, CEO of Ooma. “Our new integrations with popular products and apps
leverage the award-winning Ooma communications platform to help make
homes smarter than ever.”
These new integrations provide Ooma customers with the convenience and
flexibility of using their Ooma Telo with their mobile devices and
connected home devices. A sampling of possible uses include:
-
Caller-ID on your wrist: Incoming calls on your Ooma Telo
generate a real-time push notification of the caller-ID on your Apple
Watch, Android Wear, or other iOS and Android devices.
-
Visual alerts let the lights do the talking: Identify known
callers and avoid interruptions by setting up visual call alerts on
your existing lamps using a WeMo smart plug, or on your Philips Hue
light bulbs.
-
Enable a more illuminated life: With LIFX Wi-Fi enabled LED
smart bulbs, you can create customized visual call alerts, such as
blinking green for known callers and red for unknown numbers.
-
Voicemail notifications: Receive a push notification on your
iOS or Android devices when you receive a new voicemail, or get a
visual alert on your Philips Hue, WeMo or LIFX light bulbs.
-
Voicemail archiving: Automatically save voicemails to your
Dropbox account.
The new integrations complement Ooma’s Nest Alerts feature. Nest Alerts
makes an Ooma customer’s home safer by alerting them on their mobile
device whenever their Nest Protect: Smoke + Carbon Monoxide™ alarm
detects the presence of smoke or fire, and enables the homeowner to call
911 from wherever they’re located using their home phone number and
address. Originating a 911 call from your home phone number when you’re
away from home means you’re connected to the correct local emergency
services personnel for your home’s location, no matter how far away you
may be, saving valuable time in an emergency.
Ooma Premier users can connect their Ooma Telo with these smart devices
and more through the My Ooma web portal. Ooma enables the integrations
through partnerships with Nest, Amazon, Dropbox and IFTTT,
a free web-based service that allows consumers to creatively control
their favorite products and apps to perform functions based on
conditional statements.
