Challenge

A global leader in smart home connectivity solutions was concerned about usability challenges that users faced with a top-brand air conditioner. They wanted to reinvent a native remote control solution that had scarce functionality and failed to match advanced IoT systems for intelligent living. The company turned to ITRex for assistance with building mobile app-based air con controls that would appeal to users with convenience, intuitive navigation, and trendy experience.

Specifically, our team took on the following challenges:
●
Build Android and iOS apps from scratch for air conditioner setup and control
●
Link the app to native remote controls using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology
●
Pack the app with multiple air con control functions
●
Address device pairing issues for increased security
●
Provide full-cycle testing services to check user experience, functionality and performance

Solution

●
An Android and iOS app with a three-layer architecture for air con installers to set up the devices on site and for end-users to easily adjust their settings
●
Multiple functions, including temperature/humidity change, child lock, timer, and quick mode settings
●
Setup of BLE, a short-range link for a fast, low energy data transfer which enables the app to communicate with air con remote controls in the IoT infrastructure
●
A hidden process protected by a password to distinguish between tech specialists and end-users
●
Multi-user support that allows remote to store a dozen unique mobile devices and manage the list of paired devices
●
Automatic removal of pairing information to protect air conditioners from unauthorized access
●
Functionality enabling the app to keep discovered characteristics of a device for quick reconnection
●
Support of multi-resolution mobile devices
●
Extensive testing across platforms and devices, and post-go-live support
●
Compliance with the brand guidelines of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) making the air conditioners
App-based air conditioner controls
air conditioner controls for smart homes

Impact

●
Intuitive and responsive feature-packed controls have taken intelligent living to the next level, increasing users’ satisfaction with the client’s smart home connectivity solutions
●
The app has provided technical specialists with an easy and simple way to set up air conditioners on site
