Our exciting, agile IoT startup is seeking an experienced web (PHP / HTML5 / JS) developer.

We use an integrated system of wireless devices to offer the most advanced intelligent heating control available for domestic applications. A central, internet-connected hub wirelessly controls each radiator, and uses PIR motion sensors to detect when each room is occupied.

Manual scheduling and control is also available via a cross-platform web, smartphone and tablet app.
