Universal IoT Hub-Mini (GV-Controller-S)
Greenvity’s Universal IoT Hub-Mini is a smart Gateway and Lighting Control platform that supports
multiple communication protocols and multiple IoT functions. The hub utilizes a Greenvity’s GV7011-
MOD module (or GV7013-MOD) and an ARM9 processor featuring WiFi, Ethernet, ZigBee, wide band
power line communication (PLC), IEEE 802.15.4 wireless, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and GSM/3G
(optional) to provide intelligence, flexibility and versatility for Smart Lighting, Smart Home/Building
Automation and Security applications.
Greenvity’s Universal IoT Hub-Mini (a small
version of GV-Controller) is a gateway and
lighting control platform that is designed to
serve the Smart Lighting, Smart Home / Building
Automation and Security applications. The GV-
Controller-S is powered by either a Greenvity’s
GV7013 Hybrii-Mini chip with wide band
powerline communication (PLC) or aGV7011
Hybrii-XL chip with wide band PLC and IEEE
802.15.4 wireless. It also includes an ARM9
processor to provide intelligence, controllability
and also interface to cloud and mobile apps.
The Universal IoT Hub is designed to control
and monitor various types of IoT devices from
lights, smart plugs, light switches to sensors.
The hub features universal connectivity with
multiple communication protocols including
WiFi, Ethernet, ZigBee, IEEE 802.15.4 wireless,
powerline communication (PLC) and Bluetooth
Low Energy (BLE) as orderable option.
Greenvity’s Universal IoT Software (GV-
UNIHUB-SW) is an application software layer
that enables communications between these
protocols within the hub and forms a common
interface API to cloud and mobile apps.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Control the Internet of Green Things™
End-users will not have to worry about what
protocol or standard of the device that they buy
because Greenvity’s Universal IoT Hub can
communicate with most popular standards in
the market. For example, the Universal IoT Hub
can control various IoT devices from different
manufacturers such as Philips HUE light bulbs,
GE and Samsung IoT devices.
For increased flexibility, the hub features 32kB
SRAM data memory and 64Mb SDRAM
program memory which stores Greenvity’s
application software. For quick time-to-market,
Greenvity’s application software can be
customization through XML or C API for specific
applications.
The GV-Controller-S supports the patented
Hybrid-Mesh™ networking that is powered by
Greenvity’s GV7011 chip featuring PLC &
wireless bridging and mesh capability. The
Hybrid-Mesh™ enables range extension and
highly reliable communication link. This unique
and innovative mesh technique can cover a
whole building that is an important factor for
commercial and industrial building applications.
