Prestigious Annual Awards Program Celebrates a Decade of Recognizing Top Internet-of-Things Innovators Around the Globe
HOLESOV, Czech Republic, Jan. 7, 2026 – INSPINIA Technology, a leading provider of smart building and home automation solutions, today announced that SkyThings has been recognized with “IoT Enterprise App Development Platform of the Year” in the 10th annual IoT Breakthrough Awards program conducted by IoT Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the most innovative companies in the global Internet-of-Things (IoT) market today.
SkyThings, the official mobile app by INSPINIA Technology, offers a unified, intuitive app that connects and manages every aspect of smart homes and smart buildings. Users can control and monitor all connected systems, including HVAC/VRF, lighting, security, multimedia, and more. The app provides secure, real-time access via smartphone, tablet, or browser from any location.
SkyThings also offers a protocol-agnostic foundation that seamlessly integrates with leading standards and ecosystems such as BACnet, KNX, Apple Home, and more, allowing for flexibility to combine legacy systems with modern IoT devices and avoiding vendor lock-in. The solution
allows users to create custom scenes, set schedules, and automate routines. For hotels and enterprises, the app can also be custom-branded and tailored to reflect the property’s identity.
“SkyThings eliminates the inefficiency of juggling multiple vendor-specific apps and empowers users with true convenience and control. The IoT landscape is flooded with apps that each control one piece of a smart environment, such as one app for lighting, one for VRF, and another for security. This fragmentation creates complexity instead of convenience,“ said Steve Johansson, managing director, IoT Breakthrough. “SkyThings delivers a complete, user-centric platform - one app, all systems, any device, anywhere. By combining interoperability, simplicity, and scalability, SkyThings goes beyond being another smart app to create a modern mobile experience for the IoT era.”
The mission of the IoT Breakthrough Awards program is to conduct the industry’s most comprehensive analysis of the global Internet-of-Things industry and recognize the breakthrough innovators, leaders and visionaries driving progress in a range of IoT categories, including Industrial and Enterprise IoT, Smart City technology, IoT Security, Connected Home and Home Automation, Connected Vehicles, and many more. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 15 countries around the world.
“No matter the project type, SkyThings is the one app users can rely on. SkyThings is already deployed across smart hotels, offices, and residential projects worldwide, helping our customers achieve a seamless user experience. For end-users, it provides peace of mind and complete control from anywhere,” said Koray Duran, CEO of Inspinia Technology. “We’re honored to accept the ‘IoT Enterprise App Development Platform of the Year’ from IoT Breakthrough. Our focus is on continuing to deliver solutions that enhance both functionality and customer experience, bridging traditional building hardware with the flexibility of modern cloud-based management.”
With TLS/SSL encryption, role-based permissions, and multi-factor authentication, SkyThings ensures user safety and data protection. In addition, critical local logic continues to function even if cloud connectivity is temporarily lost. SkyThings is available on both iOS and Android.
