Mui Board Generation Two: A Whimsical Wooden Smart Home Controller at CES 2024

Mui, a company known for its innovative smart home solutions, is set to unveil its second-generation Mui Board at CES 2024. This wooden, touch-sensitive surface has been a CES staple since its debut in 2019, and now, it’s finally ready for purchase.

The Mui Board is a minimalist, wooden ledge that transforms into a smart home control hub when tapped. It features a classy design, blending seamlessly into any home decor. The touch-sensitive surface displays smart home controls, allowing users to manage their thermostats, lights, doors, electric car chargers, and more.

The most significant improvement in the new Mui Board is its compatibility with Matter, a smart home standard that aims to unify various smart home devices under one umbrella. This feature could potentially make the Mui Board more versatile and useful than its predecessor.

Although the second-generation Mui Board has been in development for over a year, it won’t be available until the end of 2024. The Kickstarter campaign for the device launches on January 8, with a price tag of $499. The Mui Board is an intriguing CES product from a small company, offering a unique design and promising features. If Mui can deliver on its utility, it could be a valuable addition to any smart home.
