Futurize Your World

From chip to control room. One team, the whole chain.

We build devices from proven modules, write their firmware and design the data links and web interfaces our clients use to run them. We specialise in industrial telemetry, monitoring of solar plants and heating systems, and energy savings — wherever hardware, network and software all have to work reliably at the same time.

What we do

One partner for the whole solution

We build hardware on proven modular components, and where an off-the-shelf part is not enough, we work directly with hardware manufacturers. Firmware, data links and web interfaces we do ourselves. You deal with a single supplier — we make sure all the parts work together.

Embedded and IoT devices

Custom firmware on proven hardware modules — from bus drivers to robust operation in the field. Custom hardware we deliver together with manufacturers.

  • ESP32/ESP32-S3, STM32, Raspberry Pi, 8051
  • C/C++, ESP-IDF, FreeRTOS, MicroPython
  • UART, RS-485, SPI, I²C, 1-Wire, Modbus
  • Prototypes and custom hardware in cooperation with manufacturers

Data links and connectivity

Reliable connections even where the signal is weak and data is expensive. We design protocols that send only what matters.

  • MQTT, WebSocket, HTTP/REST, custom binary protocols
  • Ethernet, Wi-Fi, LTE/NB-IoT
  • WireGuard VPN for secure access to equipment
  • AES-GCM encryption and authentication at the application layer

Web applications and visualisation

Clear interfaces where operators see the state of the equipment in real time and understand it without training.

  • Live process diagrams (SVG) and charts
  • Node.js, Socket.IO, MySQL, Redis, PWA
  • Roles, permissions, audit log, SSO
  • Exports to CSV, PDF and Excel, history and playback

Remote management and OTA

Update and configure devices in the field remotely. No trip to the site, no service laptop.

  • OTA firmware updates with integrity verification
  • Dual-bank flash layout and safe rollback
  • Secure web terminal to the device
  • Health monitoring of the whole device fleet

Energy savings and control

We measure, evaluate and control consumption so that heating does not run at full power when it is not needed.

  • Weather-compensated control, heating curves, seasonal modes
  • Heat meter readings
  • Weather forecasts as an input to control
  • Alarms, notifications and early warnings

Integration and modernisation

We can handle older systems too, even those with no documentation left. No need to throw away what works.

  • Protocol analysis and reverse engineering
  • Connecting existing controllers and meters
  • Migrating legacy devices to a modern platform
  • Running on your own infrastructure, without vendor lock-in

Solar PV and generation monitoring

Round-the-clock monitoring of solar power plants. We watch every inverter individually and alert operators before a fault shows up in the yield.

  • Data collection from Solar-Log dataloggers — and through them from every inverter Solar-Log can read; proven in operation on SMA
  • Direct reading over Modbus where there is no datalogger — proven on SolaX
  • We keep adding more brands — tell us which ones you need
  • Distinguishing operating and fault states — MPP, standby, derating, insulation resistance measurement
  • Detection of zero output during the day and of lost connection to an entire site
  • Alerts by e-mail, SMS and push, with quiet hours based on sunrise and sunset
  • Real-time control room dashboard and an API for higher-level systems
  • Fault history as a basis for service, warranty claims and yield evaluation

Examples of what a complete solution looks like in practice — from an inverter on a solar farm and a device on a heating system all the way to a control room in the browser.

Solar PV / generation monitoring

Monitoring a fleet of solar power plants

Round-the-clock monitoring of nine solar parks with a total installed capacity of 18 MWp. Every minute the system checks the status and output of all inverters and reports a fault before anyone would notice it in the yield.

  • Status of every inverter — MPP, standby, derating, insulation resistance measurement, faults and warnings
  • Smart evaluation — tells the expected night-time shutdown apart from a real fault, so operators get no false alarms
  • Alerts by e-mail, SMS and push with quiet hours derived from sunrise and sunset at each site
  • Zero-output detection during the day and detection of lost connection to an entire site
  • Automatic recognition of datalogger model and firmware, with a warning when they change
  • Real-time control room dashboard, WebSocket API for higher-level systems and fault history for service

Industrial IoT platform

Control centre for boiler rooms and heating systems

Our own platform for remote monitoring and control of boiler rooms, running on our infrastructure. Operators see a live process diagram, measurement history and alarms, and can change control parameters remotely.

  • Live process diagrams — dozens of configurable layouts (boilers, circuits, domestic hot water) animated with real data
  • Custom binary protocol — instead of JSON, with checksums and versioning; 70–90 % less data transferred on mobile plans
  • Remote firmware updates (OTA) — with verification and the option to roll back to the previous version
  • Multi-level permissions — client → organisation → boiler room → user, audit log and single sign-on
  • Network architecture — WireGuard VPN with customer isolation, designed for thousands of devices with no per-device fees
Monitoring and visualisation

VisualReg

A system for remote supervision of boiler rooms and their control. Live equipment status, camera feeds and alerts to your phone — from anywhere.

  • Live camera feeds from the boiler room — quality can be adjusted for slower connections
  • Alerts to your phone on faults, exceeded limits and when a boiler room stops reporting, with a camera snapshot for emergencies
  • Charts and exports of history for evaluating operation and costs, including heat meter readings
  • Passwordless sign-in with passkeys
  • Operation and archiving on our own infrastructure

The experience behind it

Beyond Hoojer Tech's client work, we have dozens of other projects behind us — from our own hardware and firmware through industrial terminals to e-shops and company intranets. This breadth is what lets us take a project from the device all the way to the web.

IoT · 2022–2026

Smart plant watering

Watering based on actual soil moisture, controlled from your phone — over the internet, or directly via Bluetooth when the network is down.

  • The automation decides on the device itself, even without a server or internet
  • Safeguards in the firmware — limits on watering time per run and per day that cannot be bypassed from the app
  • Detects ineffective watering, such as an empty tank or a blocked hose, and stops the automation
  • Mobile app with a moisture chart, watering history and a live camera view
  • Pairing of new devices from the app with encrypted transfer of credentials

About

Systems you can rely on

Hoojer Tech s.r.o. is a Czech technology company that works mainly online for clients across the Czech Republic — and in person in Jablonec nad Nisou, Liberec and Prague. It builds on more than fifteen years of independent development — from 8-bit processors and industrial controllers, through embedded Linux and IoT platforms, to web applications and running our own server infrastructure.

We have also been through the development of devices for the healthcare sector, where the demands on safety and reliability are high. The curiosity about how things work inside has stayed — it has just turned into systems that people rely on.

Today our work centres on energy — monitoring solar parks, boiler rooms and energy consumption — and on the devices that collect such data and pass it on.

We enjoy projects where hardware meets software and where things first need to be understood in depth. We are as comfortable with an oscilloscope as with a production database, with a datasheet as with someone else's source code — which is why we don't pass responsibility back and forth between suppliers.

We build solutions that run unattended for years: light on mobile data, updatable remotely and built on open technologies, so that you stay in control of your data. And we like to prove that “it can't be done” is a myth.

Contact

Need hardware, firmware and web that work as one?

Get in touch. We will go through your brief, discuss what makes sense technically and economically, and propose a solution — even if it ends up looking different from what you expected.

Custom development is not the cheapest route. It pays off where a device has to run for years and has to be dependable.
