From Casambi to Tuya to Meshle: Why UWC Builds Across Platforms

A rare multi-platform approach to smart lighting hardware—and why it matters

In the fast-evolving world of smart lighting, innovation isn't just about creating brighter bulbs or sleeker switches—it's about interoperability, adaptability, and staying future-ready. Most vendors today tie their hardware to a single smart lighting platform or protocol, limiting flexibility for installers and project owners. But Unwired Connect (UWC) is doing something fundamentally different.

We’re among the rare few who build across platforms—from Casambi to Tuya to Meshle—while manufacturing in-house across key wireless protocols like Bluetooth Mesh and Zigbee. This isn’t just a technical achievement; it’s a strategic decision that makes life dramatically easier for electrical consultants, OEMs, integrators, and facility planners.

Let’s break down why this matters—and how it puts UWC in a league of its own.

Traders Assemble; Manufacturers Build

In India and other developing smart infrastructure markets, a majority of “smart lighting vendors” are traders—repackaging white-labeled products from China. These traders are often locked into one platform (usually due to preconfigured firmware), with limited control over product behavior, no post-sale technical ownership, and high chances of field failures.

Now imagine trying to deploy 100+ sites across retail or warehousing, where different architectural and operational needs demand different platforms.

That’s where UWC's rare capability steps in.

What Does "Platform-Agnostic" Actually Mean?

Many vendors casually throw around the term platform agnostic, but let’s be clear: UWC isn’t simply “able to integrate” with multiple platforms. We manufacture our own products for each of these platforms, including:

• ✅ Casambi: BLE Mesh-based, European standard leader in wireless lighting control

• ✅ Tuya: Supports across protocols BLE-Mesh, WFT, and Zigbee, popular in IoT-heavy smart residence deployments

• ✅ Meshle: Proprietary BLE Mesh, with low-latency, node-to-node device communication

Each platform has distinct electrical, firmware, and ecosystem requirements. Our in-house R&D team builds platform-specific firmware and electronics for each—ensuring full compliance and seamless onboarding.

This gives clients a choice without compromise.

Why One-Size-Fits-All Fails in Smart Lighting

Here’s a quick scenario: A retail chain wants to retrofit 30 stores using Casambi because it aligns with their mobile-first controls. But their upcoming flagship mall tie-up mandates Tuya for energy analytics integration.

With a trader-based vendor, this means sourcing from multiple manufacturers, training staff differently, and running separate support lines. With UWC, it’s a single vendor, single ecosystem, and consistent quality—regardless of platform.

We don’t just offer compatibility. We offer continuity.

Built In-House, Not Outsourced

Our commitment to platform diversity is only possible because of complete control over our manufacturing lifecycle. That includes:

• Firmware development for each supported platform

• Electronic PCB design to match protocol specs

·        In-house testing ensures complete quality control and regulatory compliance

• Packaging, branding, and post-sale technical support

This vertically integrated model ensures that whether you choose Casambi, Tuya, or Meshle, you're still getting UWC's quality, support, and reliability.

Why Technical Decision-Makers Choose UWC

As a CTO or project lead, you’re not just picking a product. You’re choosing a long-term partner for rollout, scale, and support.

Here’s what you gain with UWC:

• 🎯 Control + Choice: One vendor, multiple platforms, no loss in quality

• 🔒 Future-Ready: Our firmware is updateable and scalable with your network

• 💡 Smart at Scale: Pan-India installations with local partner training

• 🤝 Support Ownership: Our team trains your integrators and supports post-deployment

Final Word: Why Platform Flexibility + In-House Manufacturing Wins

The smart lighting industry is growing—but so are its risks. As IoT matures, you need to think beyond compatibility and focus on control, consistency, and customization.

Unwired Connect is proud to be India’s first multi-platform OEM in this space, offering a robust, scalable alternative to fragmented vendor chains. Whether you're lighting up a single smart showroom or deploying across 100+ sites, we’re here to power your project—on your platform, our promise.
