Adomi Smart Home

The story behind the task

Adomi is a smart home technology solution that connects houses to the cloud. It is installed in luxury private houses as part of new construction projects by the Veev Group in Silicon Valley.

Adomi was born as a prototype running on a single Intel NUC in a single house. Adomi has evolved as a cloud solution that can operate hundreds of homes and hundreds of thousands of connected devices, simultaneously.

Challenge

Building a production-grade system from a prototype was not easy and came with real-life engineering challenges:

• How to make communication between cloud, hub, and devices secure?
• How to speed up the configuration and testing of smart devices?
• How to ensure the system can scale?
• How to make it easy to control everything in the house for the residents?

Hiring Temy became a vital decision.

Temy’s role

Adomi was started by a single person, Alon Klein, who has experience in hardware design and manufacturing. When we first met, Alon managed to build an initial prototype and was looking for full-stack engineers with expertise in:

• AWS services and backend engineering
• Android and iOS apps development
• Web applications development and testing
• IoT protocols & hardware integration (Light controllers, HVAC, Smart Locks, Rings, and Window Blinds)

The architecture

Temy’s initial team consisted of a Cloud Architect and a Backend Engineer. Their first challenge was to build a cloud backend for Adomi that collects data from sensors and allows it to control light in the house.

Longterm partnership

With over 2 years of development, our team has completed more than 52 sprints and has built cloud, hub software, mobile and web applications that are part of the Adomi system.
