HomesBee: Solution for connecting smart home devices

The smart home device market is rather fragmented as devices from one manufacturer often cannot work together with those from other manufacturers. Moreover, as more devices are connected to the same home network, the quality of the connection bandwidth reduces which leads to problems with reliability.

Our solution is a gateway device with mobile application that helps to integrate smart home devices from different manufacturers in the same network. The gateway device is compatible with 2786 devices from 359 different manufacturers and enables seamless connections in the network. The mobile application has an intuitive user interface for controlling all devices connected to the gateway.
