An existing hall.
No new cables.
One panel does the day.
An 820 m² civic waiting hall the city already owned, already lit, already wired — and that Skyline was not allowed to rewire. The brief: fix the light levels, add zoned announcements, and give the duty officer a single panel that does the daily routine. We went wireless — Zigbee for sensors, Z-Wave for retrofit switches, a Tuya bridge for the panels the city had already bought.
What we delivered.
Scope of works
- 24 ceiling presence + lux + temperature sensors · Zigbee 3.0
- 31 retrofit switches into existing backboxes · Z-Wave
- 6 pre-existing Tuya panels integrated via local MQTT bridge — read-only, audit trail
- 4-zone amplifier driving public announcements · wireless control
- 7" wall tablet duty-officer panel — one-button opening, midday, closing routines
- Lux-hold at 500 lx across service counters during opening hours
- Event mode unlocks amplifier zone 3 for ceremonies

Why Skyline
Single point of contact across design, cabling, devices, network, commissioning, and lifetime support. No subcontractor coordination on the client side — one quote, one team, one warranty.
Three views of the install.
Public-hall display running the duty-officer routine. Three buttons — Open, Midday, Close — replace what used to be a phone call to facilities.
Anthracite Z-Wave retrofit switch dropping into the existing backbox. Same faceplate, same mounting, new mechanism — no wall paint touched.
Vine TJ-560 4-inch smart Wi-Fi thermostat — client-owned hardware bridged into the duty-officer panel via local MQTT, no rewriting of the city's existing inventory.
The numbers.
