Problem
Consumers with Revolv hubs lose all smart home control functionality once the company's cloud services are discontinued, rendering their purchased hardware inoperable and leaving them without a path for recourse or refund.
Solution
Revolv provided a connected home automation platform consisting of a central hub and mobile application that enabled users to control multiple smart devices from one interface. The company has since ceased all operations, shutting down its app and hub services entirely. Through its parent company Nest, Revolv offered a refund program for hub owners, with claims accepted through October 31, 2018. The current Revolv website serves exclusively to inform customers of this closure and direct them to Nest's support channels for refund processing.
Target Audience
Primary customers were homeowners seeking unified control of smart devices, though the platform is now discontinued and only relevant to existing hub owners seeking refunds.
Features
- Central hardware hub that aggregated control of multiple smart home devices
- Mobile application for remote device management and automation
- Refund program for existing hub owners administered through Nest support
