New interactive tool lets partners build and explore complete wireless-sensing deployments across Zigbee, WiFi, Thread, and BLE — and watch them respond in real time

CHESTERFIELD, Mo., Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ivani today announced the release of its next-generation sensify® SmartMap, an interactive visualization and simulation tool that lets partners build complete wireless-sensing deployments — devices, detection zones, people, and applications — and watch how sensify responds. The new SmartMap is live at sensifysmartmap.com.

The next-generation SmartMap replaces Ivani’s original guided walkthrough with an open, hands-on canvas. Where the original presented one wireless protocol and one network topology at a time, the new tool lets partners place devices themselves, mix detection approaches freely, and explore sensing deployments across Zigbee, WiFi, Thread, and BLE side by side on the same floor plan — the first time Ivani’s multi-protocol capability has been publicly demonstrated through a single interactive experience.

“The new sensify SmartMap gives our partners a much more powerful and intuitive way to visualize how sensify can work within their own products and environments,” said Justin McKinney, CEO & Co-Founder of Ivani. “Rather than relying solely on technical descriptions, partners can experiment with different layouts, device placements, wireless protocols, and sensing models that allow them to immediately see how those decisions may affect coverage and detection. And because sensify is the only multi-protocol wireless-sensing technology, it’s the only tool that can show them everything at once.”

Nothing about sensify’s underlying capabilities changed with this launch — the multi-protocol, chip-agnostic, OTA-deployable firmware behind the tool is the same technology already shipping in commercial products. What changed is the demonstration. The new SmartMap finally shows the thing that makes sensify different: every major smart-home protocol sensing together, on infrastructure that is already installed.

Key capabilities of the new sensify® SmartMap

• Support for Zigbee, WiFi, Thread, and BLE deployments — model and explore sensing deployments across any sensify supported protocol.
• Virtually unlimited device placements across a broad selection of configurable device types — lights, plugs, switches, thermostats, hubs, speakers, TVs, and more.
• Virtually unlimited detection zones and sensing spokes.

• Mix-and-match detection models — multi-stream mesh detection areas and single-stream hub-and-spoke links, combined freely on one map.
• Multiple sensify applications, including intelligent lighting and security, with a live intruder-alert demonstration.
• Real-time detection-area visualization showing occupancy confidence as people move through the space, via an interactive person-placement tool.
• Coverage exploration — see how coverage and detection change based on device placement and configuration.
• Optional custom floor-plan uploads in addition to preconfigured floor plans.
• Save and reload complete configurations for partner discussions and deployment planning.

Built for partners

The new SmartMap is designed to support product development, technical evaluation, partner discussions, and deployment planning. By making complex wireless-sensing scenarios easier to visualize, the tool helps Ivani’s partners better understand how sensify can be integrated into their products to create intelligent lighting, security, occupancy, and automation experiences.
