Desishub Automation · Engineering Services
Custom hardware, built like our software
Need a connected device, a sensor network, or an IoT product for your business? We design the firmware, the backend, and the apps — end to end, in Kampala.
System architecture
Anatomy of a Desishub device
Every custom device we ship follows the same proven pipeline — sensors into an ESP32, MQTT to a Go backend, dashboards on top, OTA updates and Mobile Money billing built in.
What we build
From the silicon to the dashboard
Connected devices
ESP32-class hardware and embedded C++ firmware — from proof-of-concept to production-ready devices with enclosures.
Sensor & telemetry networks
Temperature, GPS, power, flow, motion — reliable sensor fleets reporting over MQTT, LoRa, or GSM.
Device-to-cloud pipelines
Ingestion, storage, and real-time processing on a Go backend — built for intermittent connectivity from day one.
Control apps & dashboards
Web, desktop, and mobile apps your team actually enjoys using — the same product quality as our software studio.
OTA fleet management
Secure over-the-air updates, device provisioning, and monitoring across hundreds of deployed units.
Payments & billing built in
PayGo models, usage billing, and Mobile Money integration through DGateway — monetization is part of the design.

Our process
Staged engagements. Working hardware at every stage.
Assessment
We scope the problem, constraints, and success metrics with your team — and tell you honestly if hardware is the wrong answer.
Prototype
A working proof-of-concept on development hardware, validating the physics, the connectivity, and the economics.
Pilot
A small production batch deployed in the field, with real users and real data — measured against the success metrics.
Production & support
Scaled manufacture, provisioning tooling, OTA updates, and SLA-backed support for the deployed fleet.
Our stack
Field-proven patterns
Devices that phone home over GSM
Remote monitoring, site alarms, and PayGo devices that report over GSM where WiFi doesn't reach — the connectivity reality of Ugandan deployments, engineered in from the start.
- GSM/4G fallback connectivity
- Remote monitoring & SMS control
- Solar and battery power options
- Fleet dashboards & OTA updates
