Gateway integration with smart locks

Client Overview

An innovative startup designing and manufacturing smart padlocks that provide reliable and cost-effective security for consumers and businesses.

Business and Technical Challenges

To launch Scalable Smart Padlocks Solution
Expandable Cloud-enabled Platform using HomeBridge Gateway: The BLE enabled smart padlocks required cloud-based connectivity in order to access them remotely via mobile application
Validation of updated PIN on the cloud that is configured to a particular padlock over BLE 4.0 via HomeBridge Gateway

VOLANSYS Contribution

Developed firmware on VOLANSYS’ HomeBridge Gateway Platform in such a way that it works with client’s smart padlock over BLE 4.0 technology.

Designed and developed firmware on HomeBridge using Nordic’s nRF52832 System On a Chip:
- BLE Central Application development
- Registration of Gateway with padlocks that are associated to the cloud
- Integration of Cloud APIs for padlock PIN update functionality
- Local database management
Integrated gateway firmware with padlock firmware and conducted manual testing for PIN update functionality
