The Challenge

Bring all smart home features into one system

Founding vision and mission

SmartHome Pro is a building technology company founded by ambitious entrepreneurs who wanted to improve how homes are built and solve the housing shortage problem. The company builds homes 4x faster with prefabricated walls preloaded with plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems.

Innovative Construction Approach

SmartHome Pro builds homes 4x faster with prefabricated walls preloaded with plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems. Their walls are smart, too—embedded touch panels let residents control lighting, ventilation, humidity, windows, and doors with a tap. To enable remote control, SmartHome Pro needed a smart system. Sparix's mission was to connect everything—from smart panels to sensors—into a single automated system.

Obstacles

Multi-brand integration

SmartHome Pro's smart devices came from different manufacturers, so syncing them into one system was a real puzzle.

Hard to test remotely

With the client's teams in the US and Israel and Sparix's developers in different locations, we had to get creative to test every feature from afar.

Keeping it secure

We had to use cloud infrastructure for future scaling, but ensuring safe communication between the cloud, hub, and devices was challenging.

The Solution

How Sparix Global brought real estate features into one system

Sparix Global's Fully Automated System

After five years of collaboration and 52 sprints, Sparix Global delivered a seamless, fully automated system. Now, clients can control everything from temperature to lights, door locks, and more using their smartphones or Amazon Alexa.

At its core, the system runs on AWS cloud infrastructure, with a local hub ensuring real-time syncing between devices and user apps.

The key components include the local hub, touch panels, mobile app, voice control, and web-based back office.

Our team connected the essentials: core features and integrations

With the foundation in place, our experts integrated core features:

Performance. Real-time monitoring and optimization tools ensure peak system performance with automated scaling and resource management.
Security. Advanced security features including encryption, authentication, and compliance controls protect data and ensure regulatory adherence.
Integration. Seamless API integrations connect with third-party services and existing systems, creating a unified ecosystem.
Automation. Automated workflows and intelligent systems reduce manual tasks and improve operational efficiency across all processes.

We made control effortless with intuitive interfaces and advanced tools

Now that the system could operate intelligently, it needed easy ways for users to interact, so we implemented multiple options:

Web Dashboard. A comprehensive web-based control panel provides real-time insights and management capabilities accessible from any device.
Mobile Application. A mobile app that lets users monitor and control their system no matter where they are, with push notifications and remote access.
API Access. RESTful APIs enable developers to integrate and customize the system according to their specific needs and requirements.

Advanced analytics and reporting for data-driven decisions

To ensure continuous improvement and optimization, we implemented:

Real-time Analytics. Comprehensive analytics dashboard provides real-time insights into system performance, usage patterns, and key metrics.
Custom Reports. Automated report generation with customizable templates helps stakeholders make informed decisions based on accurate data.
Predictive Intelligence. Machine learning algorithms analyze trends and predict potential issues before they occur, enabling proactive maintenance.

The Result

A Smarter, Simpler Real Estate

Bringing all these pieces together was no small feat, but Sparix Global pulled it off. Now, all systems are working together in perfect harmony, making operations more efficient and user-friendly every day.

Managing smart home devices meant juggling multiple apps and remotes

A single system controls lights, climate, security, and more

Users had limited control outside the home

The mobile app + Alexa integration let users control everything remotely

Security was an afterthought

Smart locks + video doorbell allow remote access and real-time visitor interactions

No way for installers or support teams to monitor system health

Web back office lets teams configure homes, add users, and provide support
