How it work – technical summary

In our solutions we use a number of technologies that enable wireless communication with the integration of devices, including low-emission Bluetooth, NFC, WiFi communication and the Internet using LTE.

Often our solutions requires physical physical interference in the device to switch oraz bypass communication buses or short circuits using electromagnetic relays.

Our research team is constantly working on the development and miniaturization of our solutions, however, please note that not all devices are able to integrate with our SHS Box central hooks.
Despite this, we often modify the software and expand the equipment by installing additional communication interfaces, e.g. CAN, ODB2, GPIO, Z-wave, LAN RJ45 and USB.

The main goal of our activities is to standardize communication protocols for two currently popular solutions based on low-emission radio transmission, which include: Zigbee and Z-wave.

We constantly cooperate with equipment manufacturers in order to exchange documentation of experience in the field of construction and integration possibilities of our solutions with suppliers of equipment and communication components.

In addition to cooperation in such standards, Zigbee and Z-wave we design and manufacture our own intermediary devices that will comply with these standards.
