</01> SERVICES

iNELS deals with smart home solutions for end customers, entire cities, hotels, or office buildings.

The challenge faced by companies in the realm of smart home product manufacturing lies in the fact that appliances and all associated technology, upon integration into the system (cloud), tend to become less smart than they were initially. The system often lacks intuitiveness and may contain errors. Configuring and managing a large number of devices thus turns into a nightmare.

Integration with External Data

One of the significant challenges for us was setting up what's called a rule engine. This involves configuring device interactions based on certain values, like outdoor temperature.

</02> OBSTACLES AND SOLUTIONS

What We Encountered

01

Outdated Non-Modern Environment

The control of smart device networks must be clear and intuitive. Thus, our primary goal was to transform an old, non-functional platform into a modern application, enabling easy management of hundreds of devices and serving as an extension to the existing mobile application.

02

Enhanced Controllability of the Entire System

In the new application, we prioritized strong controllability for individual devices as well as the system as a whole. Emphasis was also placed on improving the user experience and smooth navigation throughout the application. Interactive dashboards were introduced to the application, offering intuitive control over all types of devices.

03

Rule Engine for Conditional Scenarios

In the new application, we also developed an entirely new conditional feature, the rule engine, capable of connecting states and actions of individual devices across the entire application. This functionality was entirely absent from the original application, which called for a complete redesign. The foundation of the entire application rests on setting conditions. Individual devices interact and perform tasks based on various states.
