managing intelligent networked devices
With the award winning Lynx MiND™, Lynx Technology brings its latest offering to the Smart Home market. For Consumer Electronics companies and Service Providers who want to participate in the smart home in an easy way, Lynx MiND is an OCF Certified smart home solution, which includes a patented rules engine, that will enable a gateway, NAS, wireless router, STB, home controller or other device to be transformed into a central smart home hub.
Because Lynx MiND (which is an acronym for Managing Intelligent Networked Devices) is OCF Certified, it is protocol agnostic, which allows your customers to securely discover Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread, DLNA and other smart devices* in the consumer’s home, and to ensure interoperability with these devices from one central hub using a companion app. It does this reliably without the typical headaches and performance problems that are common with smart home solutions today.

What Can Your Device Do With Lynx MiND?
For a device to be a smart home hub, it needs to be able to perform the functions listed below. When your gateway, NAS, wireless router, STB, home controller or other device is embedded with Lynx MiND all of these functions are included, and your device is transformed into a smart home hub.
Device Interoperability |
Interoperate with OCF Certified smart devices, as well as those smart devices utilizing other smart home protocols via an IoTivity bridge. |
Device Discovery |
Through a mobile app, discover smart devices on the home network such as thermostats, lights, locks, cameras, appliances, motion detectors, TVs, speakers etc. |
Device Control |
Directly and securely control the functions of smart devices Lynx MiND discovers, such as temperature for a thermostat, on/off and colors for lights, locking/unlocking doors, activating cameras and motion detectors etc. |
Scene Creation |
Create automated scenes such as Wake Up, Go To Bed, Leaving Home, Coming Home. For example, a "Wake Up" scene might turn on the bedroom light, turn up the thermostat, start the coffee maker and play music on the bedroom connected speaker – even if these devices were not made by the same manufacturer. |
Event Driven Rules |
Through the Lynx MiND Rules Engine (U.S. Patent Pending), have an event trigger a set of actions. Example: If a motion detector detects motion in another part of the house, while you are home alone, have your lights blink and play an alarm sound on your connected speakers. |
