A Licensable Reference Design for
Smart Window Automation

Complete hardware, firmware, and mechanical designs for a Matter-native retrofit window controller, developed and running on real windows today. License it, adapt it, or ship it under your brand.

Start from Working Hardware

A motorized window product needs motor control, a retrofit mechanism, radio integration, and certification before the first sale. This platform has them working: six board revisions in, with hundreds of logged open/close cycles on installed windows.

Working Prototype

Real firmware on real windows: sensorless calibration, obstruction detection, and Matter/Thread control, with 500+ logged cycles and counting.

Reference Design

Full BOM, reference PCB design, mechanical CAD, and assembly documentation. A strong starting point for productization.

Built to Be Rebranded

Firmware, enclosure, and packaging are structured for customization, from the device's name and appearance to your app and cloud.

Reference Platform Architecture

A working reference platform, designed from day one to be customized and adapted.

Firmware Platform

Matter-compatible window covering device on nRF5340 with Zephyr RTOS. Sensorless auto-calibration, obstruction detection, and over-the-air updates built in.

Mechanical Design

Retrofit mounting system with quick-release bracket and a passive torque limiter to protect the window. Casement windows today, with slider and hung variants in development. CAD files included.

Reference Electronics

Custom PCB with USB-C Power Delivery, QSPI flash for dual-bank OTA, and integrated motor control. Schematic, layout, and BOM provided.

Intellectual Property

Pending patent applications covering key innovations in the design. IP terms are discussed as part of any partnership arrangement.

Where This Platform Fits

Smart Home Brands

Add window automation to your product line. Ships alongside your existing sensors, plugs, and blinds. Same Matter ecosystem, same app.

Window Manufacturers

Offer a smart upgrade to the millions of homeowners who already have your windows installed. New revenue from your existing installed base.

Property Managers

Automate ventilation across multi-unit buildings. Coordinate hundreds of windows based on weather, air quality, and occupancy, with fleet monitoring and remote control.

Utilities & Energy

Reduce peak AC demand through automated passive cooling. Our research shows smart windows can cut residential AC runtime 15-40% in dry climates, shifting load off the grid during critical peak hours.

Fleet Monitoring & Management

Devices report position, motor health, and cycle count over the Thread network. Fleet tooling is co-developed with deployment partners on top of the platform's telemetry and management interfaces.

Device Telemetry

Each device reports position, motor health, and cycle count over the network, so building staff can see the state of every window without visiting it.

Remote Operations

Push firmware updates, adjust settings, or trigger recalibration on individual devices or whole buildings, over the air.

Building Automation

Integrate with BMS, weather services, and AQI data. Coordinate automated ventilation schedules across hundreds of windows to reduce HVAC costs.

Thread Networking

Thread-based connectivity means low-power, IP-native networking. No per-device WiFi setup. Works with any Thread border router in the home or building.
