04 / Device tailoring

A connection for the things nothing else fits.

Every home has one: a gate controller nobody supports, a pump with no interface, a sensor that has to sit where no outlet is. We design hardware and firmware ourselves, so when no off-the-shelf device fits, we can shape one around the need.

  • An assessment and clear quote
  • The right interface for the job
  • A tested, documented solution

A connection shaped around you.

What is included

Everything this covers.

  • Understanding the gap

    What the appliance is, what signal it gives or takes, and what you want the house to do with it.

  • The right interface

    A relay, a dry contact, an infrared or radio bridge, a wired bus: we choose the connection that suits the equipment.

  • Enclosures that belong

    Housings designed and printed to fit the place they go, indoors or out.

  • Firmware and logic

    The device's behaviour written for the job, and joined to VeaHome like any other.

  • Tested before promised

    We confirm the hardware and run the complete routine before we call a capability done.

  • Documented

    You get a note of what was built and how it connects, so it can be maintained.

Across the whole home

Every part of home. Working together.

Set the mood. Find your comfort. Take care of the everyday.

Come along, step by step

Here is how we get there.

What happens at each stage, and what you have in hand at the end.

  1. 01

    Describe the problem

    Send photos, the model if there is one, and what you wish it did.

  2. 02

    We assess it

    What can be done, how, and what it would cost. Sometimes the honest answer is a different approach.

  3. 03

    Design and build

    Interface, enclosure and firmware, tested on the bench first.

  4. 04

    Fit and verify

    Installed, joined to VeaHome and tested in your home.

What you leave with

  • An assessment you can act on
  • A device built for the job
  • It appears in VeaHome like any other
  • Documentation of what was built

Meet the devices

Solve the part a standard device cannot.

An awkward enclosure or an existing control input. We start from devices like these, our own VeaHub, VeaBlaster and VeaPhone among them, and build what is missing around your project.

Examples to help plan your setup. We confirm the model, supported functions and installation requirements before recommending a connection.

The connections behind the experience

From a requirement to a working connection.

Use the equipment you own, add the right interface, and bring the useful controls into VeaHome.

Your equipment & requirement

Interface and feasibility reviewA scoped design

We establish what signals exist, what needs adapting and what success should look like.

Sensors, firmware & enclosure

Prototype + integration testingA device that fits the job

Develop and test the necessary parts together, including recovery behaviour and mounting.

Tested device

VeaHub / supported software interfaceA usable home control

Document the connection, demonstrate the routine and agree how the custom device will be supported.

Choose the right connection.

Existing networks and suitable interfaces can work together.

  • Infrared
  • 433 MHz RF
  • HTTP / REST
  • Dry contact

Integrations, hosted for you. Brand integrations that work through a cloud service run on our servers in every plan, or in your home on a VeaHome Local Server. How many brand accounts you can link depends on your plan. Compatible Vea devices and local connections work without a subscription. Cloud-only services still need the internet.

Protocols shown are connection options, not radios built into every VeaHub. We match the controller, adapter or gateway to your devices.

Good questions

Before you decide.

What kinds of things can be connected?

Typical cases are a building gate or entrance line, a water heater or a pump through a relay rated for it, an air conditioner that only has a remote, and sensors for a garden or a roof. If it has a signal or a switch, there is usually a way.

Is a custom device always the answer?

No. We look for an existing product first, because it is cheaper and easier to replace. We build only when nothing suitable exists.

How long does it take?

It depends on the work. A simple interface is quick; a new enclosure and firmware take longer. You get a timeline with the assessment, before anything is built.
