Consumer electronics manufacturer iHome selects Marvell’s IoT Platform
With the iHome iSP5 SmartPlug, consumers can use Siri or the iHome Control app on Apple iOS and Android devices to control lamps, fans, air-conditioners, and other home devices from anywhere with their smartphone. Users can also group several iHome SmartPlugs into individual "scenes" to control multiple connected devices within a home. Additionally, the iHome Control app allows for the creation of custom scenes to control multiple SmartPlugs with a single command, or to create schedules for complete home automation.
The EZ-Connect Wi-Fi microcontroller IoT edge device platform offers full HomeKit support to hardware manufacturers. It features a powerful Cortex-M3 microcontroller (88MC200) and a best-in-class 802.11n wireless radio (88W8801) that together provide the essential pieces for enabling a HomeKit device. Marvell’s SDK for HomeKit is built on top of the field-proven and industry-leading EZ-Connect SDK and greatly simplifies the development of HomeKit accessories. Hardware manufacturers using the SDK for HomeKit benefit from the complete, supported implementation of the HomeKit framework and are able to save months of development effort and can instead focus their efforts on innovative product features and providing great user experiences.
