About

LATHE, Inc. is a small, family-owned company focused on creating intuitive, functional products that fit seamlessly into your life. We are based in Westchester, NY, and the company was founded by two brothers who are passionate about technology and design. We believe that technology should be simple, beautiful, and easy to use. Our products are all assembled by hand, and we prioritize quality and craftsmanship in everything we do.

LAMP is our first product. It was conceived as a standalone smart home lamp that just works, right out of the box, and feels like the future. With the LAMP 's built-in sensor array, it ambiently adjusts its brightness to meet you as you enter the room, and smoothly dims as you exit. We think this is one step closer to the ideal form of the smart home - a home that reacts to your needs and adapts to suit the moment.

It is crucial that modern home technology respects your privacy and functions reliably in all scenarios. The LAMP is designed to work entirely locally, with no cloud connection required. All sensor data is processed on-device, and never leaves your home. This ensures that your personal data remains private, and that the LAMP continues to function even if your internet goes down.

We believe that your data is your own, and we are committed to protecting your privacy. The LAMP works entirely locally, with no cloud connection required. All sensor data is processed on-device, and never leaves your home. We do not collect any personal data from users of our hardware products, and we do not sell any data to third parties. For more information about how our website handles data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

One of our goals is to simplify the experience of building a home that reacts to your needs, without the complexity of traditional smart home systems. However, for those who wish to integrate our products into their existing smart home ecosystem, we offer local API access via MQTT and HTTP. This allows you to connect your LAMP to popular smart home platforms like Home Assistant, enabling advanced automations and connection with other smart devices in your home. It can publish its status and sensor readings to your local MQTT broker, and can also receive commands to adjust its brightness or turn on/off via HTTP requests. For more information, check out our guide on how to integrate the LAMP into your smart home setup.

At Lathe, Inc., we stand by our products and are committed to providing product support, warranty service, and prompt responses to questions and concerns. If you run into any issues with your LAMP, please reach out to us via email or phone, and we will be happy to assist you. The LAMP comes with a one-year limited warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship, and a 30-day return window for unused products. For more details, please see our Refund Policy, or contact us directly.
