The Lexi platform creates interoperability among third-party devices and Lexi white-labeled connected devices for smart homes and buildings.

The IoT market consists of many different device manufacturers, each developing its own suite of IoT products. Major players like Amazon and Google compete for space in the market by each offering similar devices within a unique and proprietary ecosystem.

The result is a modern smart home consisting of several devices from different manufacturers—Amazon Alexa, a Ring Doorbell, and a Google Nest thermostat, for example. While market choice and variety are generally good for consumers, in the context of the IoT, this fragmentation can be a major shortcoming.

For this reason, developers are pushing for protocols such as Matter to unify the IoT market. Now, a company called Lexi has introduced the Lexi IoT Platform, which it claims is the only universal IoT platform. 

The Need for Interoperability

Devices from different manufacturers only interface with other devices within the manufacturer’s ecosystem. For instance, a Google Nest is not designed to be interoperable with Amazon Alexa, and vice versa.

Because of this, consumers are forced to either purchase devices only within one manufacturer ecosystem or live with disparate devices that are not interoperable. If all IoT devices were interoperable regardless of manufacturer, the industry could unlock unprecedented functionality and achieve the true vision of IoT.

Designed to address this disconnect, the Lexi IoT Platform employs hardware and software to act as the bridge between devices in the smart home and enterprise space.

The platform consists of three main tenants: the Lexi Mobile Apps, the Universal IoT Gateway, and the Lexi Cloud.

The Lexi Mobile Apps are customizable iOS and Android apps that can control and manage IoT devices within an ecosystem. The Universal Gateway is a hardware device based around an NXP processor, which physically connects disparate IoT devices. Lexi has designed its gateway to support all of the major IoT wireless protocols on the market today, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave, 900 MHz, LoRaWAN, and cellular. Finally, the Lexi Cloud is a cloud service that includes data storage, device control, and an analytics dashboard for user insight.

Lexi also says that its independently-built IoT platform offers up to 90% cost savings over AWS IoT Core and performs 40% faster than major cloud services. 

With this platform, Lexi claims to create interoperability among many of the major industry ecosystems, including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, and IFTTT. Future plans include adding support for Apple HomeKit, HomeAssistant, and HomeBridge. Lexi is also upgradeable to Matter and Thread.

California-based Lexi has launched a platform to ease the IoT experience when connecting products across apps and ecosystems.

The suite of software and hardware provides functionality for enterprises to deploy a comprehensive smart-home offering or commercial IoT project.

Interoperable with leading IoT products and brands, the platform is being deployed across market segments including smart building, smart city, smart home, smart agriculture, environmental monitoring, industrial control, logistics and HVAC.

The design supports all major wireless protocols including wifi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave, 900MHz, LoRaWan and cellular, plus it is upgradable to Thread and Matter. Intentionally universal, the platform caters to all major smart home ecosystems including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, IFTTT and soon Apple HomeKit, HomeAssistant and HomeBridge.

“This essentially is the missing piece to move IoT stakeholders and users into the next level of smart living as the future is multi-protocol and it’s all about interoperability,” said John Osborne II, COO of Lexi. “Manufacturers, telcos and retailers need a flexible, future-proof IoT platform to wrap their brand around, while their customers need the it-just-works factor to finally kick in and spur the adoption and expansion of smart everything.”

Already being rolled out to international telcos, the Lexi IoT ecosystem is comprised of three core components:

• Mobile apps: Customisable, white-label iOS and Android mobile apps to add, control and manage devices. Works both with and without the firm’s universal IoT gateway.
• Universal IoT gateway: Includes support for all five major wireless protocols plus an NXP processor to run AI models at the edge.
• Cloud: US-based cloud includes an admin portal, customer service portal, roles-based access control, remove device control, a big-data backend, and reporting and analytics dashboards.

It is said to be the only IoT platform cloud built independently; it is claimed to deliver up to 90% cost savings over AWS IoT Core used by competitive offerings. It is also said to be 40% faster in performance than major cloud services.

White-label options include app, cloud, software, smart devices, tier-one customer service, reporting and analytics, and warehousing. Offered as a platform-as-a-service, it can reduce operating costs, be scalable, and provide platform maintenance and flexibility.

Multi-layered network security has the power to run AI models at the edge.

The firm has four US patents in the application of machine learning (ML), computer vision and artificial reality to IoT.

A flexible suite of recurring revenue services can be resold as monthly subscriptions.

The platform is interoperable with third-party devices as well as a wide variety of Lexi white-labelled smart devices for smart homes, buildings and industries. Products fall under the categories of lighting and controls, sensors, security cameras, air quality monitors, water management, asset trackers and more.

“Companies can buy devices from overseas manufacturers, but they don’t have the resources to develop all the necessary software to competitively deploy, manage, report and support the IoT universe they’re offering to customers,” said Scott Cahill CEO of Lexi. “Our white-label, edge-to-cloud Lexi IoT platform, which we have spent six years developing, brings relief to today’s often frustrating digital existence by providing not just smart, but intelligent connections to generate new revenue streams, attract new subscribers, and increase customer loyalty through a rewarding connected experience.”

IoT For All – December 5, 2022

 LEXI, the company behind the industry’s most comprehensive IoT technologies that are transforming how both enterprises and consumers manage and automate their Smart Spaces, today announced the LEXI IoT Platform – a sizable step forward in easing the IoT experience for everyone connecting products, across apps, and across ecosystems.

LEXI’s suite of software and hardware provides complete functionality for enterprise customers to deploy a comprehensive Smart Home offering or Commercial IoT project. Fully interoperable with leading IoT products/brands, the LEXI IoT Platform is being deployed across market segments including Smart Building, Smart City, Smart Home, Smart Agriculture, Environmental Monitoring, Industrial Control, Logistics and HVAC.

Universal. Multi-Protocol. Interoperable. Intelligent.

What differentiates the LEXI IoT Platform from everything else on the market is it’s far-reaching, future-ready design that supports all major wireless protocols including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave, 900MHz, LoRaWAN® and cellular – plus it’s upgradable to Thread and Matter. Intentionally universal, the LEXI IoT Platform caters to all major smart home ecosystems including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, IFTTT and soon Apple HomeKit, HomeAssistant and HomeBridge.
