Case Study: Sepura Home achieves seamless connected composting with Blynk

Sepura Home brings Root online with Blynk for 3-step activation and OTA updates

Sepura Home, the maker of the Root composting bin, faced the challenge of creating a connected experience for their innovative hardware, which operates out of sight under a kitchen sink. They needed to provide users with real-time status updates, enable easy Wi-Fi setup, and offer features like over-the-air firmware updates without building a complex software infrastructure. The vendor, Blynk, provided a solution using their IoT Platform and Enterprise Plan.

Using Blynk's managed platform, Sepura implemented a branded mobile app that delivered seamless device activation, real-time visibility into bin status, and remote control. The solution allowed the hardware-focused team to offer a premium user experience without developing the backend themselves. This resulted in effortless setup for homeowners, eliminated the need for service visits through over-the-air updates, and reduced support calls by providing in-app troubleshooting.
