Smartlife Connect Integrations

 

Compatible Products

Smartlife Connect is compatible with thousands of products

It is easy to end up with a multitude of Apps required to operate a home, business, or farm.

  • Multiple apps are hard to manage and difficult to share with everybody who needs access to the property. 
  • By choosing compatible products you can enjoy the benefits of a single easy-to-use app that is easy to share and manages the notifications as well as To Do lists, arrival and departure procedures, maintenance schedules, and product warranty lists for the property.
  • The single platform approach also enables logic/ macros to operate across all the devices, for example when you leave and set the alarm the doors lock, heat pumps and lights turn off.  

Smartlife Connect supports 5 types of interfaces:

  1. Smartlife Hubs. Smartlife manufactures an optional Hub or Controller similar to those made by Control4, Crestron, RTI and Savant. It has connections: IR (to control TVs, Foxtel, Apple TV, etc), relays, contact closure, Z-Wave, Modbus, RS232/485. It is required to be on the same network as supported TCP-controlled equipment such as cameras, alarms, multi-room amplifiers, surround sound receivers, video matrix switches, and KNX devices (thousands of products used in commercial control internationally).
  2. Smart Life / Tuya Integration. Supports thousands of products with the Smart Life or Tuya logo. Search Amazon for Smart Life. Smartlife has tested products from Schneider Wiser, Brilliant Smart, Kogan Smart, and Sunbeam.
  3. Shelly energy monitoring and control
  4. Enode EVs, EV chargers and some HVAC and solar reporting.
  5. LoRaWAN and NB-IoT products. There are thousands of compatible devices - LoRaWAN is known for long-range low power - up to 10km range and extremely long, often multi-year battery life. Used in Agritech, large campuses, retirement villages, and companies that don't want IoT devices on their network (with cellular IoT backhaul)
