Case Study: Dwelo achieves secure, scalable real-time smart apartment control with PubNub

Dwelo is Making Apartments Smarter with PubNub

Dwelo builds smart-home systems for multi-unit apartment complexes that let managers and renters control thermostats, lights, and locks from a simple mobile app. The company needed real-time, secure control—instant door unlocks and device actions across thousands of units and many device/OS/router combinations—but its small team didn’t have the time or resources to develop that scalable, cross-platform real-time infrastructure internally.

Dwelo selected PubNub for secure, enterprise-grade real-time messaging that traverses Wi‑Fi, cell networks, firewalls and operating systems while supporting fine-grained permissions. PubNub was quick to implement (operational the first day), avoided hiring extra developers, and has delivered stable, low-latency performance with no messaging failures, giving Dwelo the reliability and scalability it required.
