Focus

Device Control, Home Security, Energy Monitoring and Automation

The Challenge

Automated homes can include lighting systems, security devices, climate controls, appliances and energy monitors. When these systems are managed separately, everyday home control becomes unnecessarily complicated.

Homeowners may struggle to understand which devices are active, manage different rooms, monitor their homes remotely or create useful routines without navigating several disconnected interfaces.

  • Connected devices managed through separate controls
  • Complicated setup and device-management processes
  • Limited visibility into the overall status of the home
  • Difficulty creating useful automated routines
  • Unclear energy-consumption information
  • Security concerns when users are away from home
  • Interfaces that feel too technical for everyday users

The Solution

We designed a central mobile experience that helps homeowners monitor, control and automate their connected homes from one place.

Users can organise devices by room, adjust lighting and temperature, monitor security, review household energy use and create routines based on their schedules and lifestyles.

  • Centralised home and device management
  • Room-based device controls
  • Remote access to connected systems
  • Lighting and climate management
  • Security monitoring and real-time alerts
  • Energy-consumption visibility
  • Custom routines and schedules
  • Clear device-status information

Interface Priorities

Created to simplify connected-home control.

The experience was structured around familiar household contexts so users can move from overview to specific controls without feeling buried in technical settings.

Room-first navigation

Controls are grouped around the way people naturally think about their home.

Clear device status

Active, inactive and attention-needed states are easier to scan at a glance.

Flexible automation

Routine creation is intended to feel practical, predictable and easy to adjust.

Confident monitoring

Security and household alerts are presented with calm, actionable hierarchy.
