What we do
A useful assistant needs to understand what’s happening, and have a way to help. We connect products, spaces and software to give it both.
AI & Agents / A new layer of possibility
AI becomes useful when it can see what’s happening and act within clear limits. Our connected products and software give it both.
Products make the physical world readable and controllable.
Signals and context give intelligence something to work with.
Permitted actions, with people approving what matters.
You askWhere are we using energy unnecessarily?
Compare consumption with occupancy and operating schedules.
Investigate an unoccupied zone running outside its schedule. Propose a revised cooling schedule.
Nothing changes until you approve.
Ecosystems
Connect products to the voice assistants and smart home apps your customers know, and to Matter, the open standard for smart homes. One integration, many ways in.
Examples of what connected intelligence can make possible.
Spot unusual consumption, investigate why, and propose adjustments around how a space is used.
Turn an everyday request into coordinated lighting, climate and room settings.
Use device signals and product guidance to help explain behaviour and guide support.
Bring alerts together, prioritise attention and prepare the next action for a team.
Assist with access requests and exception reviews while people and permissions stay in control.
Connect the context and actions that matter to your product, workflow or space.
Different places. The same attention to detail.
At home
From daily routines to the products within them.
In hospitality

Inside everyday products
Our appliance work brings custom electronics, embedded software and connected experiences to water heaters, refrigerators and air conditioners.
From the control board to the experience in your hand, we develop the parts together, with the whole product in view.
Explore our product workPhoton Smart Modules / For appliance manufacturers
Every appliance is different, so every module is a project. We start from proven building blocks and adapt them to your product, then deliver the firmware, updates, app and cloud with it.
A wireless module we adapt to your appliance, so its existing controller can reach the app, the cloud and voice assistants.
A control board we design around your appliance, bringing power, switching, sensing, display and connectivity together on one board.
AI inside the product
We built an AI scheduling service for a connected water heater. It learns a household’s hot-water rhythm, then heats the tank just before showers and taps instead of keeping it hot around the clock.
The heater reports its tank temperature through the day.
Hot-water draws are detected and grouped into the household’s recurring patterns.
A weekly pre-heat schedule, with each slot sized for the biggest draw it has seen, at the comfort level you choose.
The plan goes to the heater over the air, and the week can be reviewed in the app.
