Stretch Goals
Meet Sentri
Sentri is a smart home device that evolves the traditional security system to give you a 360-degree view of your home, guarding everything from your home’s security to tracking its physical state. Sentri comes preloaded with a HD video camera and motion detector that you’ll find in typical security systems, in addition to a set of sensors that measure and display your home’s temperature, humidity levels, and air quality, making it the smartest security system on the market.
In addition to a sleek screen and user interface designed to fit elegantly anywhere in your home, take the intelligence and peace of mind Sentri delivers no matter where you go with its free accompanying mobile app. Its real-time alert system, designed to learn from and adapt to your personal preferences, alerting you of irregularities that matter to you and your home, whether it’s triggered by unexpected motion that could signal an intrusion or a sudden fluctuation in temperature, that could mean the start of a fire.
And unlike traditional security systems, which can take hours to set up and cost upwards of $1,000 a system to install in addition to monthly service fees, Sentri is ready to use out of the box with no professional installation service required. Simply plug in, power on, and connect to your home’s WiFi network.
With Sentri, we imagined – and built – a home that is as intelligent as you are, one that not only provides you with a smarter view of your home, but also empowers smarter decisions that result in safer homes.
How Does Sentri Work?
We designed Sentri to fit into your home not as another tech gadget, but as an intelligent and constantly learning monitor that can be customized to respond to your unique needs to create a safer home. Use Sentri to:
Being away doesn’t mean you shouldn’t know what’s happening. Sentri’s built-in notification system alerts you of any irregularities – whether it’s triggered by unexpected motion that may signal an unwelcome visitor or a sudden increase in temperature that may indicate the beginnings of a fire – so you’ll always stay informed.
Its built-in learning algorithm is designed to learn your personal habits and preferences to alert you of the events that matter most to you, and minimize the challenges of false alarms that exist in traditional security systems. And of course, you’ll always have the choice to customize Sentri’s settings to teach it to inform you of the changes you care about most in keeping your home safe.
Once you receive an alert from Sentri’s intelligent response system, check in on your home using Sentri's built-in HD camera and mobile app at any time, anywhere (or simply check in to say hi to your household puppy!).
Sentri is more than a home monitoring device – it’s designed to be an entire response system that connects and controls all your smart devices, all from one single destination.
Received an alert that your front door has been unlocked for more than 10 minutes? Use Sentri’s mobile app to remotely lock your door. Check in on the status of all your smart devices directly on the Sentri screen or through the mobile app, and integrate views of all your smart devices’ activities and trends in one view.
Always know the state of your home using Sentri’s sensors and intelligent response system. Tap into the vital stats and trends of your home – humidity, temperature, air quality, motion and sound – at any time either on the Sentri display or with our free companion smartphone app.
Have a Sentri in your nursery? Monitor temperature, humidity, and air quality to make sure everything is just right for your newborn. Curious to see how your average home temperature correlates with your energy bills and the weather? Use Sentri's trending views to show your home's temperature and map them against fluctuations in weather.
Customize your views on both the Sentri display and your mobile device with the information you care about most to best secure your home.
Why Sentri
- Simple elegance: The best technologies are the easiest to use. Sentri is ready to use right out of the box – simply plug it in, power on, and download the Sentri smartphone app. No assembly or installation required. Hang up your Sentri on the wall, or set it right on your shelf and let Sentri take care of the rest.
-
Intelligence within reach: Minimize the rate of false alerts and create a security system adapted specifically to you with Sentri’s built-in notification system that not only keeps you in the know, but also learns -- and acts on -- the alerts that matter most to you.
One of the biggest challenges traditional home security systems face is that most alerts delivered are false alarms, leading to many households opting out of security systems, or simply not turning their systems on. With Sentri, maximize your home’s security with timely and accurate alerts.
- Empowering you: While safety at home is essential for everyone, we know that your home and what security means is as unique as you are. Take control of how your Sentri looks, feels, and behaves by customizing when and where you want to see certain information and alerts. From choosing the background for your Sentri to showing which sensors are displayed and which smart devices are connected, always stay in control of your home.

The Technology Behind Sentri
Knowledge is power and Sentri can help deliver that knowledge for your home when and where you need it. Using its built-in sensors, Sentri collects stats and alerts you when necessary. If you think a notification is irrelevant, simply respond “No action needed,” and Sentri will learn your response to make it even smarter and tailored towards your personal needs. And the more you use Sentri, the more relevant it will become for your home and life.
Sentri also uses state of the art geofencing features to learn whether or not you’re home. When at home, your smartphone will automatically connect to the local WiFi network, alerting Sentri that you’re back.Open API
We believe that we can create a smarter future together. Our platform and API is open to developers around the world; if you’re a developer, check out our reward designed just for you.
Using Sentri as a hub, developers can imagine and create any number of connections to our platform. Use Sentri’s intelligent response system and sensors to get coffee started in the mornings based on your actual waking patterns. Or have Sentri remind you of the groceries missing from your refrigerator as you go into a grocery store.
Together, let’s build smarter and safer homes.Development stage
- Finalizing the electronic schematics for the final product
- Improving the user experience and UI design
- Fine-tuning the user experience of the app
- Pilot production
- Product certifications
- Production tooling
- Packaging design
3D-model of Sentri
While the engineers worked on the electronic and software aspects of Sentri, our industrial designer built out Sentri's mechanics. We used a CNC machine to create the casing mock-up and verified that all the electronics can fit into one device.
Why we need your support
Your support is critical to our long term success. While we’ve done the heavy-lifting in building out the hardware and software to prove our thinking behind a connected home, we need your help to scale this vision and bring it to market at an accessible price point. Our ultimate goal is to build a community of Sentri-powered homes that lend itself to smarter and safer neighborhoods.
We will be taking the funds from Kickstarter to move directly into tooling and production, and have agreements with OEMs in Taiwan to begin production as soon as funding is secured. We expect Sentri to retail for $349+.

Riesgos y desafíos
While any new endeavor involves risk, we’ve made every effort to mitigate these risks for our backers and fans. We have already completed a working prototype and have secured our supply chain in preparation for mass production. Despite our expertise and careful planning, there are risks to this project. We've identified and outlined the following key risks to our project below:
-Hardware
The more pre-orders we receive, the better our hardware can be. Since the beginning, we've always made it a priority to include only top-of-the-line components in our device. Manufacturing at larger scales because of higher volumes of pre-orders means that we can afford to include even more high-quality components.
