How can multiple device types share one app?

They share an account, commissioning and cloud model while each product keeps its own state and control definition.

Is a gateway always required?

No. The architecture depends on device protocols, local-control needs, power, response time and network access.

Prevent fragmented setup, roles and support flows

Adding devices one by one creates inconsistent pairing, controls, roles and support behavior across the product family.

What this gives the buyer

Create one branded control experience while preserving the device-specific states and functions of each product.

From commissioning to shared device control
