Context & Challenges

The Context

  • • Family with solar panels, heat pump, smart lights and sensors
  • • Main device: mobile phone

The Challenges

  • • Interface was basic, inflexible, and confusing
  • • Balance customization vs. out-of-the-box components

What if...?

What if only the most useful information and features were displayed in one single place for quick decision-making?

The Messy Middle

❌ Removed Welcoming Message

Greeting drew attention away from crucial status chips.

✓ Added Chips for Overall Insights

Highly valuable for immediate status checks (alarm, windows).

✓ Optimized Room Buttons

Fixed conflicting functions and added critical status info.

✓ Added A/C Navigation Option

Centralized control for all home conditioning appliances.
