All household appliances digitally connected

Miele App Smart Home

As a pioneer and industry leader, Miele had a vision of the connected smart home from an early stage. When the decision was made in 2019 to relaunch the app, slashwhy was commissioned as a development partner. With the Miele app, it was possible to develop a digital communication channel to match the physical Miele product world and thus create a seamless, inspiring customer experience.

Software that fits your users

Starting points for a smart home

Whether it's developing smart control systems, integrating into existing smart home ecosystems, or creating device software—we are your partner in identifying trends, understanding challenges, and shaping the future together.

We enable seamless device integration into smart home ecosystems using standards like Matter, Bluetooth Mesh, Wi-Fi, or Zigbee. This allows lighting, building technology, and household appliances to be centrally controlled, automated, and remotely monitored via the cloud. Smart processes, such as automated shading or adaptive lighting control, enhance comfort and energy efficiency.

We develop powerful embedded software that intelligently controls sensors and actuators in consumer devices. By optimizing real-time capability, energy efficiency, and functional safety, we ensure reliable and precise device performance. From data processing to controlling motors, displays, or relays—our solutions make hardware smarter.

Intuitive operation is the key to the success of smart consumer devices. We design user-friendly interfaces—from touchscreens to voice control and gesture interactions—ensuring a responsive and seamless user experience. This simplifies processes and makes interactions with electronic devices more intuitive and efficient.

Smartphone apps and web platforms enhance the functionality of connected devices through remote control, automation, and customization. We develop intuitive applications for managing lighting, heating, and household appliances, as well as user portals for administration, firmware updates, and maintenance planning. This creates a seamless digital user experience.

Cloud technologies make connected devices smarter, more efficient, and more predictive. We develop solutions for data-driven automation and predictive maintenance, such as voice control or device performance analysis. This enables intelligent systems that respond in real time and can be continuously optimized over time.

Connected devices require the highest security standards for data protection, user rights, and secure communication. We develop end-to-end encryption, role-based access control, and anonymized data analysis to protect smart electronic devices and IoT platforms from unauthorized access. This ensures security and trust in connected products.
