Liberate Your Bluetooth How did you come up with the idea for this product? As a former Cisco engineer, Aruba executive, and founder of his own WiFi mesh networking company, Felix Zhao has been on the search for a universal wireless protocol for nearly two decades. Unhappy with WiFi’s effect on battery life and ZigBee & Z-wave’s lack of integration with smartphones, Felix finally settled on Bluetooth for its open standard and universal reach and compatibility. Bluetooth was a natural choice because not only is every smartphone Bluetooth enabled, but an estimated 4 billion Bluetooth enabled devices are expected to ship worldwide in 2016 according to Bluetooth SIG’s annual report. Despite its advantages, Bluetooth has been traditionally hampered by short range, limited 1:1 device pairing, and lack of remote control. Felix and his team set upon fixing these problems, which resulted in the invention of the Cassia Hub, the world’s first extended range Bluetooth Router. What makes your product special? The Cassia Hub is truly unique and innovative. It’s the world’s first Bluetooth Router, and the only product to connect up to 3 Bluetooth Classic devices and up to 22 Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices at the same time and extend their range over 1,000 feet. What has been the best part of your startup experience? The challenge for Cassia Networks at first was figuring out how to solve the problems associated with Bluetooth without requiring any changes on the end devices. The best part of the startup experience has been knowing that the improvements we are bringing to Bluetooth are going to ultimately foster a whole new class of affordable Bluetooth IoT and connected home devices online in a way that was previously not possible. With the Cassia Hub, the future of seamless Bluetooth Connectivity is now here.

Extended range for your music
I purchased the Cassia Hub Audio Kit I because I wanted to be able to play music in different rooms in my house and I didn't want to always have to be in close range of my phone. The Cassia Hub Audio Kit has exceeded my expectations and I can now stream music to any room in my house (it's little over 2000 sq ft. on one level). I'm also able to listen to music on my picnic table in my backyard, which has always been a problem in the past. Typically, I'd carry my speaker to the backyard and then forget that I had my phone in my pocket and the music would cut out when I'd walk back in the house to get something. If you are looking for an extended range music solution, I'm happy to recommend this one. Cassia Hub Audio Kit I

Really innovative product
Just received my Cassia hub a few days ago... had my doubts about the range claims, but I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. I had a particular application in mind - controlling a whole-house fan from my phone. We have a wonderful big fan in the ceiling that brings cool air into the house in the evening. The switch is in the first floor laundry room, but we normally want to turn it on and off from the bed in our second floor bedroom. A perfect application of the smart plug; except that the Cassia hub is on the first floor, my iPhone is on the second floor, and the smart plug would be located through a ceiling and lots of insulation in the attic! Despite the skepticism, I plugged the fan into the smart plug, the smart plug into an outlet, and the set-up worked perfectly, This has been a pain in the rear for twenty years, which happily has now been solved,I have also been attempting, with limited success, the control of my outside Christmas lights. With the Cassia smart plug, protected from the weather with a plastic cover, I am convinced I can make this work fine as well. Five stars to a great product!

So fun having more then 1 speaker going
I got the Hub Kit, a plug and 2 lights, Came just in time for a party we were having. So fun having more then 1 speaker going, it was great. We left for vacation the next week and were able to turn on and off multiple lights anytime. I had the sound system and fan were hooked up to the plug. I was able to turn all of it on and off from the other side of the country. After familiarizing myself with the software I had the whole set up going on and off on a timer. There seemed to be a few glitches in the software, however the customer serves was all over it.

Just what I was looking for!
I like to entertain at my house and typically have people both inside and outside when we have guests over. I bought some bluetooth speakers to put outside but it was a pain not being able to play the same music to all of them at the same time. It was also annoying that my phone playing the music to the speaker would always have to be within about 30 feet or so or else the music would cut out. I saw this Cassia Hub and thought I would give it a try. I was able to connect three of my Bluetooth speakers to the Hub and then using Airplay, I can stream Pandora to all three speakers at the same time. And I can walk anywhere in my house or backyard with my phone and the speakers don’t cut out. Pretty awesome.

Prefect system for any home
I love being able to have multiple speakers around the house and control them all with my iPhone without losing my Bluetooth connection. Adding the ability to control LED light bulbs and smart plugs as well puts this product over the top. I can group speakers, lights and plugs together to give me more control and easier access to my home. It's awesome to have my lights on and music playing before I even walk in the door. Great product!

I have been using the Cassia Hub Kit for several weeks. Love it!!!
i love to have really good sounding music in the kitchen and outside on our decks as well as where I am gardening.I finally found the product that makes all of this possible and more.Reasons I like the Cassia Hub System: 1) Small, light-weight speakers that produce excellent quality sound. It also works with another bluetooth speaker that I have been using to play from my iPad. 2) Plays music from Pandora, Spotify, or even the audio porrtion of YouTube files. I am excited about this because YouTube has performances of about anyone you can think of. 3) My hub stays near the computer while the speakers are placed anywhere in our 2700 square foot house including Kitchen, Bedrooms, Music Room (where I teach piano and guitar) AND outside on any one of our decks. I can play music stored on my iPad and with airplay selected I can play from other sources. 4) Just found out I can use this bluetooth system to turn lights on and off with my phone when away from home. So exciting!!!
