Deep expertise in every facet of home and building automation applications
Whether you’re developing a smart-home appliance or a system to control all of the functions in a commercial building, you need a partner who understands the associated standards, security aspects and data models. With Avnet Silica, you have access to a team of experts who not only understand the standards, we actually helped create them.
We know the ins and outs of standards found in home and building automation, including EnOcean, KNX®, Thread, LonWorks, BACnet and more recently Matter and Wirepas, just to name a few. In addition our team has expertise with using multiple connectivity standards across your application such as Bluetooth™\BLE and Wi-Fi™.
We’ll guide you to the right standard to follow for your specific application. And with our global reach, we can guide you through the standards you’ll need to follow in markets you are looking to export to. From there, we work with you to create a standards-based design.
Our knowledge also extends into security. We’ll explain the different options for encryption, along with the use of public or private keys and guide you to the best choice for you. The same holds true for wired or wireless connectivity. We’ll find the right fit for your application and help you design it into your device or system.
Design tools and services
As you move into design, Avnet Silica offers reference designs to help you refine your software code and validate your system components. These tools are specific to the standards and features you’re likely to implement in your design.
Our tools integrate all of the functions found in a home-and-building application into a single platform, including sensing, wireless connectivity and connections to cloud services. This gives you the chance to evaluate your design from a system-level perspective, giving you optimum performance. Along the way, our factory trained and certified engineers provide unbiased recommendations, drawing from the home-and-building automation designs they themselves have created.
