Nevo Butler is a highly secured, voice-enabled, white label hub that blends entertainment and smart home control experiences for various applications. With far-field voice control and interoperability with a variety of ecosystems, Nevo Butler allows users to discover and control virtually all entertainment devices in the home using hands-free voice, including set-top boxes and TVs, as well as security systems, lighting, thermostats and more.

Nevo Butler offers a minimalistic, unobtrusive design ideal for placement on stands and side tables. Its infrared translucent top lens enables 360-degree control of the TV, set-top box and other devices with feedback lights under the lens that are visible from standing and seated positions. Available in white or charcoal with a rubber mat in branded accent colors, Nevo Butler allows flexible customization and easy refurbishment.

Nevo Butler was designed by UEI’s Designovation team which creates product designs based on user insights and global trends.
