Lift Setu

Lift Setu's hardware partners had already built the controller boards that sit inside an elevator's machine room, streaming floor position, door state, direction, and fault codes as raw signals. What they didn't have was a way for a technician, building manager, or lift owner to actually see any of it. Before iMobdev, that data existed only on a maintenance panel inside the lift shaft — invisible to anyone not physically standing in front of it.

The pain points were concrete. Multiple lifts across a property, each identified only by a device ID and MAC address, needed to be selectable and monitored individually from a single account, whether the technician was on-site over Bluetooth or checking in remotely over the cloud. Every controller's raw digital input and output pins (HX0–HX11, HY0–HY11) needed to be translated into a live, readable status grid, not left as unlabeled signal states. And fault conditions needed to surface as a timestamped, coded error log a technician could act on immediately, not a blinking light with no history.

Every month without this visibility meant service calls that started with guesswork — a technician driving out to a site just to find out what was already knowable from the controller. For Lift Setu's business, a working app was the difference between selling a board and selling a monitored service.

Technically, the app also had to bridge two very different connection paths — Bluetooth Low Energy for on-site pairing and cloud sync for remote access — behind one consistent interface, without asking the user to think about which one they were on.

Lift Setu launched with a single Android app that makes an elevator's internal state visible to the people responsible for it — floor position, door status, and direction at a glance, full I/O diagnostics for technicians, and a timestamped error log that turns fault codes into a maintenance record. What used to require standing in the machine room can now be checked from a phone, on-site or remotely.

The device-selection model means the same app scales from a single lift to a portfolio of properties without changing how it's used, giving Lift Setu's hardware a real monitored-service layer to sell alongside the boards. iMobdev continues to support Lift Setu as new sensor types and fault codes are added to the platform.
