“Earlier this month, as Google was snatching up the smart-thermostat maker Nest for $3.2 billion, a lesser known home sensor company made its own announcement. SNUPI Technologies, a Seattle startup, said it had garnered $7.5 million in funding.

SNUPI’s “parents” are UW CSE+EE faculty members Shwetak Patel and Matt Reynolds, UW EE graduating Ph.D. student Gabe Cohn, and UW CSE alum Jeremy Jaech.
