Solution
Tuya Smart provides the lightning networking SDK for Perenio’s IoT devices. After integrating the router, it can be spared the complex operation of entering into network state one by one. The sub-devices will be searchable in the app interface as soon as they are powered on and can be added in batches with one click. It also relies on Tuya’s Zigbee gateway module to integrate the Zigbee SDK and realize the Zigbee gateway function.
-
The business logic of the router SDK can be realized by conforming to the standard DP point through Tuya’s IoT Development Platform. The standard functions include: transmission rate, network speed detection, Wi-Fi encryption mode, signal strength, dual band management, name and password modification, etc. Based on the DP standard, the development is convenient and efficient.
-
Lightning networking SDK includes the implementation of a quick Wi-Fi connection for devices. The IoT sub-devices can be connected to the internet as soon as they are powered on and they can also be automatically scanned by the router. The device information is shown in the routing management interface, and after confirmation, it can be added to the internet automatically. At the same time, it also supports the secondary network connection after the router modifies the SSID and hotspot password, making the process convenient and fast.
-
Zigbee SDK. When the router contains a Zigbee module, it can be used in the fast development of Zigbee gateway functions, integrating them into the router, and realizing the gateway exclusive functions such as cross communication protocol scenario and local information upload.
Benefits
In one month, Perenio completed the entire process, from factory manufacturing to delivery into the market. Compared to working with other platforms, time to market was reduced by 80%. Perenio’s smart socket has been well received since its launch at IFA in 2019, and the smart remote controller is widely welcomed in the local market.
In February 2020, the two companies released a jointly developed AIoT smart router, Elegance, which can not only be connected quickly to the internet, but also supports device connection to the internet without a password. In addition to these products, Perenio has successively completed the Nano heater and air conditioner as well as other smart products through Tuya’s IoT Development Platform.
