It's time for some fun and games!

To welcome summer, LinkIO presents Light Fight: a company which has created a brand new and cool activity to spend your holidays.

LinkIO's Bluetooth LE MESH technology was used to provide the connectivity for this game, which can be played both indoors and outdoors.

This shows how the applications of our BLE MESH is not only reserved to a certain industry. In effect its uses and advantages are limitless. 

The Light Fight solution also show's LinkIO's willingness to be dynamic. We are here to cooperate and find a solution for whatever connectivity project or challenge a client brings to us. 

Introducing the LinkIO widget on Android! Control your connected devices without the need to launch the App!

More precisely, the widget is an Android smartphone interface which allows the user to complete simple actions (for example : on/off functions) without having to launch the App.

LinkIO's app developers released this functionality to cut back on the delay of time required to start up any smarthome app. The widget therefore allows a more time-realistic control of lighting devices in a person's living space.

LinkIO was at the OPAC 38 expo reuniting companies of interest to social landlords.

We showcased some basic reasons why Bluetooth Low Energy MESH brings more advantages than the other protocols in the Smart Home industry.

For example, our technology gives end-users the greatest level of freedom : the possibility to use a private solution where no information is sent to an outside platform or service provider. If the end-user does wish to control their devices from outside the house or building, then a gateway is available which will permit them to do so. 

Our micro module was also popular at the trade fair as it allows pre-existing devices to become connected and controlled via our smartphone app.

Furthermore, we were able to tease some upcoming functionalities which will be among the first released in the smart home industry.

LinkIO was commended for its ambitious business model, choice of simple technology and the motivation to bring home automation to every household.

The article speaks for itself : 
"Based on Bluetooth Mesh technology, LinkIO's solution combines simplicity (wireless, battery-less, low-emission and compatible with all systems) and affordability (low power, maintenance-free)."

Kevin Berton and Ahaeli Chakraborty were at the BePositive and Lighting Days Expo to introduce LinkIO’s solution to potential clients.

The perfect opportunity to spread awareness amongst companies in the smart industry on how building with bluetooth can increase reliability, reduce costs, and enhance the ROI of smart building solutions.

We also managed to study the trends in protocoles, smart objects and discussions about smart cities during our time in Lyon.

LinkIO also met up with familiar faces of partner companies, as they showcased co-developed or compatible products.

Introducing a new feature : a motion sensor and switch, both battery-less and wireless made by EnOcean Alliance, which can interact with LinkIO's ecosystem of products. This ensures further interoperability between LinkIO partner products, providing our clients with a larger portfolio to offer to their own clients.

LinkIO is proud to be featured in EnOcean's blog post : https://blog.enocean.com/the-linkio-smart-home-ecosystem-n…/

On the occasion of the Annual Convention FFDomotique held in Saint-Ouen on January 16 and 17, 2019, LinkIO presented new modules, products and features in front of other massive corporations who themselves delve in home automation.
