Thingsware is an Home Automation an application which allows you to control all your smart home devices in one place with a simple. Thingsware is designed for gated community with voice control through Zigbee protocol. The Hardware device supports 40 Relay/switches. Home Automation Appplication. Hardware support 40 relay/switches. 40 devices can connect through Hardware. Mobile app will use for communicating with connected devices (i.e, Light, Fan, TV, etc.) The system should support creation of of users, creation of virtual devices, mapping of virtual devices with physical devices, receive telemetry data from physical devices, assign /map devices with users

The Thingsware home Automation have Admin, Web baased App for Create New Clients & tenants, New Device Onbording. Manual Onbording , Bulk and Device template Onboarding. Create Rules & plugins The Mobile App to integrate data from web baseds application show on User Mobile and Control the Devices.
The Above Requirements states- Reserach, Design thinking/Brain Stroming, Wireframimg a for Web & Mobile based App.
Power saving most priortize feature as apart off Homer Automation feature.The user is looking for Innovative solution to control the unnecessary consumption as a whole or simply guess which devices are heavy users.
Best solution comes to mind might be buying smart home devices which supports 40 relay/switches tp conncet 40 devices with 2.5 kwh load and enable us to control home appliances remotely and reduce the power usage.
But the problem is that the smart home devices only help in controlling and generating automation which does a big favor but is not enough.
There are no data about monthly spendings, estimated bills, and energy usage reduction tips in such devices. However, Home Energy Monitors connect to your circuit breaker. They allow you to track your energy consumption with much finer detail, Put the ax away and cut your energy consumption .
Goal of this project is to design an intelligent energy monitoring system, which enables users to track energy usage of any device, control and set up routines for home appliances, get notifications for devices left turned on and view a timeline of daily home activity. With Sweet Home, users can getan insight of their electricity, water and gas bills, while they can pay them with one tap.We believe that by developing an app that allows our users to manage and control their devices from anywhere, we will make their experience more desirable, usable and convenient. We will know this to be true when we see these users use this app over the smart device’s partner app.
Once I gained a clearer picture of users, I started preparing paper Sketch. Paper sketchs are got validated throgh Client for the part of Final Design Deliverable. paper Prototype also helps us to know the user task analysis and identifing the usability issues . Through the Iterative Process deisgn fix are made.
Once I was satisfied with the screens, I created a clickable prototype on Marvel — This ensured that I had created all the screens to follow a number of different scenarios.
Login scree. user can login with email address and password.
Home screen shows all the Device configured. It shows the no. of device under device type.
This screen shows a popover to add the new device.
This screen shows all the configured device in a room.
The Device support BLE configured by Pairing code.
This shows the control option of device. This send a telemetry data based on device usage.
Validation by Usability Testing
In order to validate if our solution was measurable easier to use, learn and remember we’ve asked 8 participants , to try to accomplish 4 real-life scenarios. We also shared the Questionner with the B2B user to test its funcationality, navigation and ease of usage.- Questionner
Key Solutions
I managed to create a mobile app which will allow our users to control multiple smart home devices all from one app including some new features that the main competitors do not have such as discovering and buying additional products through the app.
These features should significantly increase the visibility and opportunity to discover new smart home products. This was a great brief and thoroughly enjoyed learning about different benefits and features of different smart home devices on the market today.
