Case Study

Smart Home Hub

A unified smart home platform connecting and automating devices across multiple ecosystems with voice control and intelligent automation.

The Challenge

Understanding the Problem

Homeowners had devices from multiple manufacturers that didn't communicate. They needed a single app to control everything with intelligent automation.

Our Approach

We built a local-first hub that bridges different IoT protocols while maintaining cloud connectivity for remote access and voice assistant integration.

Phase 1

Matter Controller Certification

Phase 2

AI Presence Detection

Phase 3

Energy Optimization AI

Phase 4

Solar Integration

The Solution

Central hub supporting Zigbee, Z-Wave, WiFi, and Matter protocols with beautiful mobile app, voice control, and ML-powered automation routines.

200+ Device Types
15 Ecosystems
40% Energy Savings

The Outcome

Successfully connects 200+ device types across 15 ecosystems. Users report 40% energy savings through intelligent automation.
