Services

Providing an optimised home automation solution means providing a list of trusting services that users can rely on on a daily basis, all year round. What does Pi LYNK offer?

User Friendly Interface

Designed for maximum uX and responsiveness that users expect from a modern system. Intuitive display for ease of access.

Connectivity & Portability

Gauranteed system connectivity, no matter the location, no matter the time. Always on, always available. Accessible using a wide range of devices.

Informative Feedback

Integrated graphing solutions to show what your home is using and when. Extended sensor monitoring allows for easy click and go feedback

Extensible Development

Not every setup is ideal for every home. Design allows for upgrading the system with the systems closed product device range from relays to sensors.

Environmental Impact

Our carbon footprint is an issue everyone should be aware of. Reduce this footprint by eliminating unnecessary usage around the home.

Secure Access & Storage

Keeping interaction data secure is a top priority in any system. No exceptions are made here. Secure data storage - ensuring your home control is secure.

About the Project & Progress Made

Project proposed as part of the fourth year of the Software Development Bachelors of Science at the Institute of Technology Carlow. The aim of the project was to understand the fundamentals technologies becoming more and more common in everday usage relating to the Internet of Everthing.

At the moment the project is nearing the end of the scheduled iteration one period. This iteration involved the core development of low level communications, setups, establishing a networking solution and prototyping server technology.
