// Industry

IoT for the smart home.

Connected lighting, thermostats, security cameras, smart appliances — consumer hardware that must work flawlessly on the first try, last 10 years and respect privacy.

// Sector challenges

The realities of smart home IoT.

Consumer hardware lives in real people's homes — with real Wi-Fi, real interruptions and real expectations of plug-and-play simplicity.

/01

Plug-and-play UX

Consumers won't read manuals. Setup must work in under 60 seconds, with one app, on any Wi-Fi, every time.

/02

Fragmented protocols

Matter, Thread, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, BLE. Choosing the right combination — and supporting bridges to other ecosystems — is non-trivial.

/03

Hostile networks

Home Wi-Fi is noisy, congested, sometimes ISP-locked. Your device must survive bandwidth drops, DNS failures and consumer routers from 2015.

/04

Privacy & data ethics

Cameras, mics and presence sensors in people's living rooms. Privacy by design isn't a feature — it's the price of entry.

/05

Long-tail support

A connected device lasts 5-10 years in homes. OTA updates, breach response and security patches must be maintained for the full lifetime.

/06

Cost pressure

Retail prices set by competitors. Margins squeezed. The BOM and platform costs must be optimised from day one to hit volume.

// Use cases

Where Linkweez creates value.

Sample of smart home projects we design, prototype, manufacture and operate.

/01

Connected appliances

Coffee machines, fridges, washing machines, dishwashers with companion apps, predictive maintenance and usage analytics.

/02

Energy & smart metering

Sub-metering, smart plugs, EV chargers, solar inverter integration, dynamic tariff optimisation.

/03

Security & access

Connected door locks, intercoms, doorbells, alarm systems with mobile app and cloud video.

/04

Health & wellness devices

Connected scales, sleep trackers, air quality monitors, fitness equipment, smart toothbrushes.

/05

Domotics & ambiance

Lighting, thermostats, blinds, voice integration (Alexa, Google, HomeKit), Matter-ready devices.

/06

Companion mobile apps

Native iOS / Android apps with onboarding, device management, automations, push notifications, in-app purchases.

// Recommended stack

Technology choices for consumer smart home.

Every layer optimised for consumer experience, scale, and long-term support.

Edge

Low-power MCUs (ESP32, nRF52, STM32WB), Matter-ready firmware, secure element for identity

Connectivity

Wi-Fi 6, BLE 5.3, Thread/Matter, Zigbee 3.0 — chosen for consumer use cases

Security

Device identity via secure element, end-to-end encrypted cloud, OTA Secure Boot, vulnerability disclosure program

Cloud & Apps

iOS/Android native apps, cloud APIs at consumer scale (millions of devices), dynamic FOTA

// Business value

From first prototype to millions of units shipped. We help consumer brands launch reliable connected products that perform on day one — and stay supported, secure and updatable for 5-10 years.
