Overview
Ecosmart Connect is an end-to-end IoT platform applicable for any scale of enterprise IoT projects. With the IoT features provided out of the box by Eco Smart IoT, you can create your IoT applications up to 10 times faster than before.
The App integrates Smart Energy devices and optionally security and a range of smart devices. It supports multiple locations such as Home, Work, Holiday home or in commercial cases each branch, franchise or guest room can be a location.
Each location has User Views – for example the Owner’s user view has access to everything whereas the Guest User view and the Cleaner’s User View just provide access to some items.
User Views contain provide a simple way to control the devices, initiate a series of actions (a scene) or access information about the location or equipment at the location including checklists, warranty and support information.
Alerts are notified to the family or workgroup who can then message each other via the App to respond to the event, cancel or escalate as appropriate.
Authorised users can invite other people to access their location and they can choose what User Views each person can access, and what access level they have.
Out of the box, Ecosmart Connect provides all the features you may need for a typical IoT application – from data collection and device management to IoT dashboards and analytics. You can also take advantage of open APIs to integrate Ecosmart Connect features into your own modules and applications.
Eco Smart IoT platform has extensive connectivity to everything required for automation a tiny Smart Home to full commercial building management systems utilising the international KNX, Z-Wave, Zigbee, BLE standards as well as support for Shelly, Tuya and a host of other systems.
Ecosmart Connect Platform is made up of four main components:
Ecosmart Connect platform is a HEMS (Home Energy Management system) that provides energy savings within buildings and can also be used as an energy Demand Response system - refer to Solutions page for more information.
It has been designed to be fully white-labelled and licensed to energy companies, solar companies, group builders, apartment developers, hotels, retirement villages, corporations, and manufacturers. Anyone deploying IoT, especially if the project would benefit from a wider integration.
Comming soon - LoRaWAN support for Agritech and corporate customer opportunities that benefit from being able to use these new devices alongside the existing platform interfaces to security, CCTV, lighting, heating and cooling, solar, and EV charging.
The platform is also relevant for manufacturers or importers wanting an app, dashboard, and device management system to control, receive notifications from and or maintain device information including warranty/ user guide/faq/images for their devices. Optionally they have the opportunity to cross-sell some complementary products already supported by our platform.
Systems integrators (companies already integrating security, access, monitoring, lighting, and environmental control using products such as Crestron, Control 4, Savant and RTI) utilise the platform to deploy to the above opportunities, creating initial templates and in many cases to customise individual sites wanting to upgrade. The pricing model and cloud access from anywhere enable Systems Integrators to offer an affordable integrated solution at scale expanding their market opportunities.
Devices are onboarded using the Web App. Currently, we support three device containers:
Monitors and manages energy to reduce cost an carbon
Integrates compatible devices to monitor and control everything from one App. Easily share relevant "user views" with family, staff, guests, and tradespeople. Create and initiate scenes.
Be notified - alerts are escalated to ensure important events are not missed. Use in-app chat to help resolve events.
Display pdf, videos, photos, and online info, great for in-app user guides, faq, support, and for the user to explore upgrades.
Product warranty tracker, maintenance schedules and lists - everything to do with the property in one place .
The platform is designed to be able to be white-label branded so that large-scale customers such as energy retailers, solar companies, group builders, hotels, and retirement villages can have their own branded app.
The Eco Smart Iot team has extensive software development capabilities to create a branded version of the existing app and platform, extend it as required, or create bespoke elements.
The Eco Smart Connect App runs on smartphones and tablets. It is free to download from the Apple or Play store.
Users can switch between Home, Work, Holiday home or in commercial cases each branch, franchise or guest room can be a location.
Control what users can see and do. Create a User View for children, guests, cleaners, tradespeople, managers, and workers that includes only what you want them to access.
Easily share to family, friends, colleagues, staff, and carers.
Notifications sent to a group of people appear in the list and everybody in the group can escalate, deescalate and/or comment on the event, keeping everyone in the loop until the event is resolved.
Notifications can be set to escalate to other groups or optional call centers if they do not respond within a given timeframe.
Be notified with standard or extra loud push notifications in the case of burglary and fire alarm, panic buttons or mission-critical events at your workplace or customers premises.
We believe that there should be an easy way to configure and bring together IoT smart products for everybody to enjoy without having to be technical wizards or having to deal with multiple apps.
The Web App is used to enroll the devices into a Ecosmart Cloud “Location” and to configure the user interfaces “User Views” and who has access to what. The Web App is also used to configure schedules, logic and notifications. The Web App can be simultaneously accessed by multiple users, enabling different people to be working collaboratively on a project.
Device Collections can be cloud-based or connected through the optional on-site Eco Smart Controller.
*Refer to list of compatible products. Not all Tuya-based or LoRaWAN-based products are suitable.
The Eco Smart Connect Web App can be accessed from a Web browser on a PC, Mac, tablet or even a smartphone.
Individual sites can be easily edited without anyone having to go to site.
Many control systems can only be configured by one user and often they have to be on site. With Smartlife Connect a lower cost on-site technician can enroll new products and when required a remote specialist can configure this new feature into the user interface and logic.
Complex configurations including the devices, User Views and the logic can be saved to a template for mass deployment at a fraction of the cost.
Retailers and distributors can bundle the Eco Smart Connect Software to create powerful solutions that are more compeditivly priced than bespoke solutions. Systems Integrators and technical users can then remotely configure these solutions to add more value for the end-user, without wasting time on the basic setup.
Eco Smart Connect makes it easy to configure scheduled events and complex automation rules that save time whilst minimising false alerts.
Through the Web App the editor can enroll devices, configure the User interface and the Alexa commands and physical buttons that will trigger events.
The optional Ecosmart Connect Controller connects to compatible products on the same network via WiFi or Wired Ethernet. Optionally a Z-Wave interface can be connected to one of the USB ports for interface to Z-Wave devices. The Controller has a fast processor that also enables it to transcode video from 4-8 cameras (depending on resolution), enabling cameras to be installed without the need to port-forward their IP address in the router.
The Controller is not required in all projects – only when the physical connections are required or when interfacing to Z-Wave or a compatible network controlled product such as:
Multiple Smartlife Controllers can be installed in one location when more inputs or outputs are required or at different locations.
Eco Smart Connect supports revenue sharing from subscription and one time onboarding licence fees, and can support different price points for metrics such as number of devices, number of users, frequency of logic used, amount of data. We are open to any mutually beneficial scenarios.
Revenue can be generated from:
