• Home automation, 08/2012, 03/2017, Edisio / Dio, http://www.edisio.com, A Belgian company which developed some home automation devices (light controllers/dimmers, buttons, switches, temperature/motion/door sensors). They used the sub-1G RF technology on 868.3 Mhz. Another application was a home video-interfon, based on the Hisilicon chip, SIP/VOIP technology. The outdoor device had a camera and a button and the connection via SIP was finalized as a voice/video call into a smart device (a phone) with an Android/iOS application. The user was also able to control a relay from the application in order to unlock/open the door/gate, Embedded SW for the STM8L1xx CPUs (used in home automation sensors/light controllers/dimmers) - developing of a bootloader for OTA update, uCLinux - C programming for the HI3518 CPU - handling SIP protocol, audio/video setup for the established call
