SPYR (OTCQB:SPYR) Inc, doing business as SPYR Technologies, revealed that its subsidiary Applied Magix Inc, which develops and resells Apple ecosystem compatible products, welcomed home automation expert and blogger Siobhán Ellis as the company’s new advisory board member.
The home automation enthusiast currently works in the data office of Jaguar Land Rover in the UK.
"Siobhán has been a great help by sharing her HomeKit experience and technical insights ever since she reached out to us when our website first went live. It is a great pleasure to see her on the advisory board," Applied Magix CEO Dr Harald Zink said in a statement. “Siobhán will be essential as we reach out to more online influencers and look to merge and acquire more resources under the Applied Magix banner.”
Ellis noted that there are “so few” companies out there who concentrate on Apple’s HomeKit ecosystem, and too many that end up diluting their offering to be compliant with other platforms.
“I particularly appreciate that as I have made my own homes smart in the last few years, both in California and now the UK. This experience led me to write my own blog, on that continuing journey to help others who are just starting out,” said Ellis.
Ellis lives in the UK and currently makes her home smarter with HomeKit products, which presents its own set of challenges with a house built from granite in the 1850s.
“I am convinced that Applied Magix has the vision to bring products to market that solve some of the difficult aspects of home automation, without compromise,” she added.
“I am very happy to welcome Siobhán to SPYR Technologies´ Applied Magix Advisory Board,” said SPYR Technologies CEO Tim Matula. “Her diverse background and focused experience complements our philosophy here at the new SPYR.”
