Smart Home App — POC

Smart home applications typically present all devices in a single long list, which quickly becomes difficult to navigate as the number of devices grows. This concept explored an alternative structure based on rooms and scenarios, aiming to keep device control simple and scalable.

The challenge

In initial testing of a long device list, users struggled to quickly locate a single device among dozens of similar entries, which reduced interaction efficiency.

Lights and Climate
Device control screens for lights, climate, and security, including brightness sliders, room temperature, and live camera status.

The approach

I reorganized the experience around rooms, with quick access to scenes for common actions. Advanced settings were progressively disclosed and only shown when needed, reducing cognitive load in everyday use.

Energy Up
Energy dashboard showing daily, weekly, and monthly usage with comparison indicators.
Energy Down
Energy breakdown with a consumption chart and device-level usage for HVAC, lighting, and other systems.
Energy and Profie
Settings, energy, and dashboard screens showing automation preferences, connected devices, and quick scene controls.

The outcome

Concept testing showed reduced device discovery times compared to the original list-based approach, validating the room-based structure for further exploration and iteration.
