Key Requirement

Since U.F.O is a physical gateway device which behaves as a hub for all communications to and from all home appliances, the volumes of data and the number of U.F.O devices is going to scale heavily with wider consumer adoption. To handle such amount of scale and high availability of the entire platform, the communications and API layer on cloud needs to be designed and implemented accordingly.

Major Challenges:

Monolithic communications backbone with no horizontal scalability Intermittent issues with socket connectivity on cloud No streamlined Data logging / event logging strategy on cloud Infrastructure hosted in the Ohio region increased the latency towards catering the high number of users in India

Client Profile

Phynart is an Indian startup focused on building innovative home automation solutions. Their product, called U.F.O, which is a sleek device used to control almost any electronic appliance wirelessly. It’s very easy to setup and connects to internet using home Wifi. It has a very intuitive mobile application which allows a home user to control, configure, monitor and operate any home appliance from anywhere in the globe or from the comfort of one’s home.

Our approach to IoT Implementation

Flentas helped define and implement the overall cloud strategy:

Horizontally scalable web socket engine using ALB -> EC2 -> ElastiCache Redis Pub/Sub Hub device and Mobile app user communication routing using web socket engine on the cloud Cloud <-> Mobile App for actuation commands Data ingestion pipeline for gathering all logs from the entire device fleet into a data lake on the cloud using Kinesis, S3, and RDS

Outcome of the Project

Scalable IoT Platform Highly scalable socket engine for actuation commands from Mobile app to hub device at home and vice versa for handling thousands of users and hub devices.
Geofencing Security Systems User Geofencing for automation of switching-on electronic equipment when the user is near home.
Remote Monitoring Remote Monitoring and troubleshooting for savings on on-site service visits.
IoT Device Management Remote device management for patch releases on fleets of devices.
