Arrow Electronics is working with Centralite to offer customers robust control solutions. Centralite, through the Jilia ZigBee based platform, quickly gives controls to homes or businesses. With Jilia, businesses can create a user experience in stores for retail, or developers can offer new modern apartments and homes to attract new customers that demand the latest connected technology and innovations.
Jilia Hub accelerates the speed and lowers the cost of a traditional IoT product development cycle in which residential and small to medium sized business (SMB) service providers can release new IoT solutions. Jilia provides an intuitive API, cloud service, and flexible hardware components that remove many of the risks, scalability issues, and compatibility concerns that businesses and developers have.
Features, like dimming control, give the customers and business the ability to save money while creating high end user experiences. Centralite’s IOT smart devices are specifically designed to integrate with residential and small to medium sized business (SMB) applications. Arrow’s customers can deploy Centralite’s products which can be purchased on an ala carte basis or can be bundled together per the specific applications and use cases.
The Architecture
Jilia’s robust architecture is designed to fit both large and small projects. The cloud service utilizes datacenters across the globe to ensure speed, reliability, and redundancy. Jilia provides an API, cloud infrastructure, and even custom drivers if you’re developing your own hardware.
The API
The Jilia API was designed for a positive user experience for all levels of developers. Since Jilia is an API, it offers unlimited options for how you choose to use it in your code. Jilia provides peripheral support for USB, Ethernet, and ZigBee HA 1.2. Customers can inquire for software support for Z-Wave, Bluetooth LE, and Thread protocols. Also, ZigBee 3.0 is on the roadmap.
The Cloud
Jilia is a cloud-based platform and API framework that empowers developers to imagine, build, and expand upon the Internet of Things with a single, simple API.
