OliverIQ Releases Multi-Protocol Hub

SOUTH JORDAN, Utah — Smart Home as a Service (SHaaS) platform OliverIQ has announced the availability of the OliverIQ Hub with built-in customer support from the AI-powered Ollie chatbot.

This plug-and-play device allows OliverIQ service providers to deliver comprehensive smart home services and on-demand device support to new and existing customers. This subscription service, available exclusively through ISPs, security dealers, home builders, professional integration firms, and retailers, integrates seamlessly with smart devices from today’s leading manufacturers, unifying whole-home control in the OliverIQ App.

With it, customers can enable advanced automations called Experiences that enhance the safety, comfort, efficiency, and convenience of their homes. Experiences include an “Away” mode that simulates occupancy, or a “Wake Up” routine that starts each day smoothly with coordinated lights, music, shading, and more.

OliverIQ providers can embed the OliverIQ software on their own hardware, including routers, control panels, thermostats and more – and now, with the OliverIQ Hub, they can also deliver OliverIQ SHaaS to customers immediately using a dedicated hardware device.

“OliverIQ makes service providers the smart home hero for their customers,” says Will West, co-founder and CEO of OliverIQ. “Homeowners have become accustomed to using separate apps, fobs, and switches for everything. Arriving home, opening the garage, unlocking the door, and turning on the lights is a multi-step process with at least three separate actions. With OliverIQ, your home welcomes you when it senses your arrival by opening the garage, unlocking specific doors, setting the thermostat to a comfortable temperature, and turning on lights and media according to your preference. This solution effortlessly transforms a collection of devices into a true automated system, enabling service providers to make their customers’ smart home dreams a feasible reality for the first time.”

The OliverIQ Hub plugs directly into a wall outlet and automatically begins the device discovery and commissioning process. The hub features support for leading connectivity standards such as Z-Wave, Zigbee, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, with Matter support planned. OliverIQ can control an unlimited number of devices with unlimited remote support, and customers can add new devices from their preferred brands at any time.
