OliverIQ Launches Smart Home as a Service for Telcos & ISPs

OliverIQ, a “Smart Home as a Service (ShaaS)” platform, announced that they have launched a white-label product for broadband, telecom, and internet service providers.

The company offers per-activation pricing and per-router pricing models for ISP partners. They said both options include “one-touch device integration, unified control, automation, and unlimited remote tech support for leading smart home devices and brands.”

Remote security monitoring is available as an opt-in add-on for either model.

The company says past attempts to expand telecom services into home automation have centered on turnkey smart home kits with a limited set of supported devices, but that approach is “counter to consumer behavior.” OliverIQ offers a manufacturer-agnostic solution.

“Telcos and ISPs have ventured into the smart home space before, but the real key to success in this arena is in-depth support and integration for the devices consumers organically want,” said Will West, CEO and Co-Founder of OliverIQ. “That's where OliverIQ stands out. Our platform fits hand-in-glove with the needs of service providers and offers their customers a world of choice when it comes to selecting the smart home devices that work best for their lifestyle.”

Smart Home as a Service

OliverIQ’s ShaaS product includes home automation, live security monitoring, and service and support under the service provider’s brand. The OliverIQ software automates device discovery and integration, and users can set up complex automations like wake up routines and vacation mode.

The platform is designed for white-label integration. Depending on ISP partner preference, it can be integrated into an existing app or stand alone; either option gives the ISP control over branding and presentation.
