Mevris — Ensuring a more centralized control

The main idea behind smart home devices is to make lives simpler and easier. While with conventional electronics one might forget where the remote-control is, but luckily now there’s a convenient solution to this problem which doesn’t requires any additional piece of hardware. To meet the needs of modern lifestyle, IoT based smart home automation platforms are a one-stop solution for unifying your connected gadgets and controlling them from one simple app, instead of many physical remote controls. These innovative technologies employ various connectivity protocols such as BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) , Lutron ClearConnect, Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, and ZigBee. The support for IFTTT (If This Then That) also proves quite useful, as it adds more to the ways connected devices are configured and triggered.

Automation systems serve the purpose of controlling and signaling home appliances that are used on a day to day basis. Not only do these solutions prevent misuse but also save the wastage of electrical energy. Since the preservation of electrical energy is important as per the current energy crisis, it is essential that its use becomes well optimized. This is only possible if we have a well-defined and scalable mechanism of controlling electrical devices remotely via mobile apps.

What is Mevris?

Mevris” stands for “Make Everything Smart”. It is a smartly designed, attractive, intuitive and human centric IoT platform that lets the user control almost any home appliance with a mere tap. The application can be integrated with numerous electronics at one time, making it convenient for the user to switch controls between them. It’s basically an all-in-one universal platform that allows user to control connected devices without any hassle. Mevris connects itself with the silicon chip embedded within the electronic appliance to help operate it.

Its multitasking capabilities & e-commerce integration support the idea of fully automated homes which is a definite step towards the future.
