Hardware, firmware, and the software that ties it together.
VHIM is an embedded systems studio in Bengaluru designing custom IoT hardware, production-grade firmware, and the desktop tools engineers actually use — from PCB to deployed device.
Full-stack embedded, under one roof.
Most products fail in the seams between hardware, firmware, and software. VHIM owns all three, so the handoffs simply don't exist.
Firmware Engineering
Production firmware on low-power wireless SoCs and 32-bit MCUs — Zephyr-based, with secure boot, OTA, and rock-solid BLE and Matter-over-Thread stacks.
Zephyr · MCUboot · OTAPCB & Hardware Design
Schematic capture and multilayer PCB layout — from first prototype to a clean, manufacturable, sourced board.
Schematic · DFM · BOMIoT & Connectivity
Matter, Thread, BLE, and Wi-Fi devices that are native to Home Assistant — with thoughtful fallback chains for the real world.
Matter · Thread · BLEDesktop & Mobile Tooling
PySide6 desktop apps and Kotlin / Compose Android tools — inventory, serial debug, automation — built on a shared design system.
PySide6 · Kotlin · ComposePower & Reliability
Rugged, isolated supplies and high-reliability design, with wide input and temperature range, built to keep running where conditions get hostile.
Isolated · wide-rangeAutomation & Robotics
Motion control, motor drivers, CNC, and smart-home automation — the moving, physical end of the stack.
Motion · CNC · HAFrom connected devices to the tools that build them.
The categories VHIM designs and engineers end-to-end. Detailed project briefs available on request.
Connected Products
Custom IoT hardware and the firmware that runs it — designed, prototyped, and taken all the way to a manufacturable, production-ready device.
Smart-Home & Automation
Devices and controllers that join modern smart-home ecosystems natively, with connectivity and fallback paths built for real homes — not just the demo bench.
Engineering Tools
Desktop and mobile applications that streamline real hardware workflows — from component data to device bring-up — built on a consistent, themeable design system.
Power & Motion
Reliable power supplies and motor / motion control engineered for demanding environments and wide operating ranges, where failure isn't an option.
A clear path from idea to device.
Scope & architecture
We pin down requirements, pick the right MCU and radios, and map the hardware / firmware / app boundaries before a single trace is drawn.
Design & build
Schematic, layout, and firmware develop in parallel against real hardware — prototyped, instrumented, and iterated until it behaves.
Integrate & hand off
Bring-up, range and reliability testing, Home Assistant integration, and a clean handover — documentation, sources, and reference builds included.
Have a device that needs to exist?
From a napkin sketch to a connected product on your bench — tell me what you're making and let's figure out the shortest honest path there.
