BeON Home Calls it Quits

Home-protection system startup BeON Home has shuddered its operations here and halted production of the Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) smart light bulbs that it claimed could detect burglars. BeON Home decided to wind down operations earlier this year, according to the Boston Business Journal. “We developed a nice product that fit a need and that our customers enjoyed,” the company’s CEO and Co-Founder Alexei Erchak told the journal in an email. “However, we were unable to raise the necessary capital to scale and expand our product line. Smart home is a tough space.”
