ESYLUX Smart Home App – Lighting & Building Automation
Continuation of the ESYLUX smart home app: originally built in Xamarin, now maintained and migrated to .NET MAUI by Groenewold IT Solutions. Control and manage lighting and automation systems—projects, configuration, and connected ESYLUX devices from one place; cross-platform for iOS and Android, Made in Germany (East Frisia).
ESYLUX Smart Home App – Lighting & Building Automation
Smart Home
The Challenge
Building automation in daily use
Commercial and residential buildings combine presence detectors, lighting controls, and automation. Planners, electricians, and users expect a clear mobile experience without mixing expert and end-user views. Projects can include many device groups; settings must stay traceable and extensible over time. Wireless links (BLE, Wi‑Fi) can be noisy in the field – the app must talk reliably to hardware and guide users with clear status instead of opaque errors.
Platforms, privacy, and maintenance
A building-services app must run on common phones and tablets, meet Apple and Google rules for permissions, background behaviour, and privacy, and stay maintainable through store updates. Different device generations and firmware levels should not break the UX; releases must be plannable when vendor requirements or interfaces change. That calls for solid architecture and close coordination with the manufacturer – typical for our OEM-style work in the DACH region.
Our Solution

From Xamarin to .NET MAUI – continuing the app
The app was originally built with Xamarin; we took over the project and continue development: features, fixes, and migrating the codebase to .NET MAUI so ESYLUX stays on Microsoft’s current cross-platform stack for the long term. Users still create and manage projects, select and configure products, and control connected ESYLUX devices. The UI remains focused on clarity and recurring building tasks, with responsive layouts for phones and tablets. Distribution via the Apple App Store and Google Play (ESY-App).
Working with ESYLUX
ESYLUX provides professional building automation and lighting; the mobile app complements the portfolio and supports installation and operation. With an inherited codebase, clear releases, on-device testing, and aligned migration steps matter—we coordinate requirements and store releases with short feedback loops, developed in Germany with emphasis on quality, maintainability, and clear communication to trade partners and end users.
Results
Benefits for planning, installation, and operations
A central app reduces setup and change effort: projects stay structured, devices are discoverable, and settings remain traceable – instead of juggling isolated tools. For ESYLUX, the app is a digital companion to the hardware and strengthens the user experience in smart home and commercial contexts.
Reference for smart home, BLE, and Wi‑Fi
The project shows how we continue and migrate cross-platform apps (.NET MAUI) for connected building technology—from Xamarin to MAUI, with lighting and automation integration, clear UX, store operations, and ongoing evolution—Made in Germany, with the goal that apps and device ecosystems stay aligned over the long term.
