Roomie is a smart home device designed for both kids and adults. It lets users play their favorite music from platforms like Spotify—without needing a smartphone or expensive collectible figures. All it requires are wooden NFC chips (NTAG) that reference a Spotify track or playlist.
- 📡 Play music through the built-in speaker or switch to another Spotify-connected device
- 💡 Control playback with NFC chips (Songs, Song forward/backward)
- 📈 Data logging and usage analytics
