Case Study: Devotion connects water heaters and boilers to IoT with Ayla Networks

Ayla Networks to Link Water Heaters, Gas Boilers to Internet With Chinese Manufacturer Devotion

The Chinese manufacturer Devotion, a specialist in heating systems and building appliances, needed to add internet connectivity to its water heaters and gas boilers to improve safety, enable remote monitoring, and help customers manage energy costs. The company selected the IoT platform from Ayla Networks for its technical capabilities and its established infrastructure in China.

Ayla Networks implemented its cloud-based IoT platform, which allowed Devotion's support personnel to detect potential issues like gas leaks on a 24/7 basis. The solution also provided the capability to link to customers through Chinese social networks and included data analytics for ongoing product improvement. While specific metrics were not provided, the results included increased product safety and reliability for customers, as well as the potential for reduced energy costs given that water heating is a major household energy expense.
