The architecture behind the connected home.
SchemaWire designs and delivers the technical backbone of high-end home automation, alarm, and security platforms. We work with the companies whose teams aren't sized to solve these problems in-house — RF mesh design, IoT integration, software, and cloud infrastructure — end to end.
Capabilities
RF & Mesh Network Design
Site surveys, channel planning, interference analysis, and coverage modelling for Z-Wave, Zigbee, Thread, Matter, and Wi-Fi mesh deployments. Optimized topologies for dense IoT environments and signal-difficult buildings.
Home Automation Architecture
Hub selection, integration topology, automation logic, and platform-compatibility planning. Architecture that works across vendors and survives device changes — not stitched-together installer presets.
Security System Architecture
Camera, access control, and intrusion-detection design with proper network segmentation, failover planning, and monitoring integration. Built to perform under real conditions, not just on the install date.
Audit & Troubleshooting
Diagnostics on existing deployments that aren't performing — RF interference, mesh routing failures, integration breakage, network bottlenecks. Written reports with prioritized remediation.
Who We Work With
- Alarm and security monitoring companies
- Home automation and smart-home platforms
- Connected-home product companies
- Builders delivering connected residential at scale
- Integrators on technically demanding projects
SchemaWire engages with companies whose products depend on connected systems but whose teams aren't built around RF, IoT, and platform engineering. We work end-to-end — architecture through implementation — or focused on specific layers, depending on what the engagement needs.
Most of our work runs multi-year. We design the system, build the software, integrate the hardware, and stay through the deployments that matter.
Engagements are scoped to the work, not the hour. No retainers required. We bring our own infrastructure, our own tools, and on larger builds, our own team.
How Engagements Work
Scope
A short call to understand the project, the problem, the constraints, and the timeline. We confirm what's needed and what isn't.
Design
Architecture, RF analysis, integration topology, and platform decisions — produced and reviewed against the brief before anything gets built.
Build & Deploy
Software, integrations, infrastructure, and field deployments — delivered against the design. We stay through the parts of the project that matter.
Engage
Tell us about the project.
Mesh design, security architecture, automation strategy, or something stuck on a job site — describe what you're working on and we'll respond within two business days.
All inquiries are reviewed personally. We are selective about engagements but generous with our time when there's a fit.
