Real-Time Thermostat 1
What if ultimate comfort was the comfort you don't need to think about? Getting back from your holidays, or just after a late dinner, to find your home at just the right temperature. Without heating needlessly, and even without programming. This is the unique experience offered by WEEN. Just keep your Smartphone with you, and WEEN adjusts the temperature according to your distance from home. Never will the temperature have been so precisely adjusted, and never will your absences have done so much good to the planet. Welcome to your «Home Smart Home». 2
How does Real Time revolutionize your level of comfort? As it is presented today, the connected home seems extremely attractive, and receives extensive media coverage. According to a GfK study in December 2015, 82 % of consumers have already heard of this concept. Lighting, security, domestic appliances, heating... numerous connected objects come onto the market every day, with the promise of a more intelligent home bringing us unprecedented comfort. And yet the enthusiasm of the first consumers seems to be hesitant. In particular, this is the case with connected thermostats: 3/4 of users declare that they stop using them after a few weeks. (source:-deloitte) And why? Because of the difficulty in adapting their thermostat's program to the family's schedule changes. It was this observation which led WEEN to re-invent the connected home in such a way that the users no longer need to act on the devices involved, but are able simply to benefit from effortless comfort adapted to their needs. This is the unique experience offered by WEEN : a home that ensures your well-being all day long, without you having to think about it. You have always taken care of your home, now it's your home that will take care of you. 3

WEEN makes it one of the most welcoming in the world: with absolute, effortless, made-to-measure comfort. The first experience WEEN offers you is being welcomed by a home at the ideal temperature, without programming, without unnecessary expense, and with nothing to do.

For the first time, you will have the exact temperature you want, and turn all your absences into savings. 5 Welcome to your Home Smart Home, a place that works for your well-being and that of the planet and you have nothing to do.
WEEN in a few words An intelligent thermostat that can handle the unexpected With this innovation, WEEN has taken up a double challenge: as soon as you leave home you save money, and before you get back your home is heated to the ideal temperature. Whatever your schedule changes, there is nothing to program, you just need to keep your Smartphone with you. And it's always warm when you get home, whenever that is! How does absolute comfort become also the most economical? Comfort with WEEN brings the daily delight of a home at the ideal temperature! WEEN learns your habits, defines the optimum heating program, and detects the thermal behaviour of your house ( i.e. the speed at which it cools down and heats up), while taking into account the weather conditions. Of course, WEEN adapts to all your needs, including that of controlling your heating directly via the application on your Smartphone. And in addition, with the guarantee that your personal data are protected, being hosted and secured locally: WEEN is the first cloudless connected device. Energy savings with every kind of heating system WEEN independently masters the lowering of the temperature each time you are away, and automatically anticipates the heating needs for the return of each person, thus making double the savings of a programmable thermostat. $400 Empty homes are no longer needlessly heated, and savings can reach $400 a year for a home of 100m2 (1000 sq.ft.) i.e. about 25% reduction on energy bills. WEEN is compatible with any heating system, and can be piloted from a Smartphone. 6

The Story of WEEN 2014 marks the beginning of the WEEN adventure with the founding of the company and the filing of the patent...a patent protecting WEEN's 19 technological innovations, which make possible a completely new experience: for the first time, the temperature varies according to how far you are away from home, and the device, which works with all types of heating, learns your weekly habits. 2014 is also the year when Nathanaël and Jean-Laurent meet Eric Burkel, an American who introduces them to crowdfunding. The two co-founders like the idea and decide to launch, along with their new-found associate, a fund-raising campaign on KissKissBankBank, the top French crowdfunding platform. The test is a great success: WEEN becomes the site's biggest campaign for a connected object. 2015, WEEN receives an Innovation Award on its first appearance at CES in Las Vegas, placing it in the the world's 30 most innovative startups. The effects are dramatic: $2M raised in funds, an invitation from the Sony Music Label to appear in the clip «Je te pardonne» by Maître Gims feat Sia, and dozens of interviews given on the subject of connected comfort. The general public are convinced, as are professionals such as the major DIY chainstore Leroy Merlin, which awards WEEN the 2016 Innovation Prize. Oct 2016, Hundreds of pre-orders, placed on are delivered, before the official launch. Dec 2016, WEEN is commercialized in France and appears on the shelves of the major High Tech and DIY stores. To ensure the launch, the total number in the team is increased to fifteen (Head Office Aix-en Provence & Paris office). 8
Nathanaël Munier, Co-Founder & CTO After graduating at the Arts et Métiers, Nathanaël Munier started his career with Air Liquide, before spending a year in the Antarctic managing Paul Emile Victor's geophysics laboratory. He then moved on to direct drilling projects around the world, notably in Singapore. Nathanael had a first start-up experience in 2005, when he took part in the founding of Ergelis, a pioneer of energy management for commercial buildings. He remained with the company for seven years, at the end of which it had reached maturity with 20 employees. In 2013, Nathanaël decided to explore the needs of the general consumer, and contacted his old ENSAM colleague Jean- Laurent Schaub. They imagined a thermostat as self-operating as possible, to economize a maximum for each home. The dream became reality in 2014 with the founding of WEEN. Today, Nathanaël is CTO. He is in charge of R&D at WEEN, where his co-founder is Jean-Laurent Schaub. 9
