Project Summary

Byteridge developed an Android application for an IoT smart-home company, handling UX design, multiple USB features, and the application build. The engagement ran from Feb. 2017 to May 2017 and was completed on time; the app awaited Play Store launch pending device integrations. Communication was streamlined through a single point of contact and the team met expectations.

Key Challenges

Develop an Android app that communicates bidirectionally with the smart-home device.
Provide appliance control functionality, including the ability to trigger multiple appliances in one action.

Project Deliverables

Android mobile application
UX design
Appliance control features
Multi-appliance trigger feature
USB feature integrations (five to six USB features)
Device-to-app integration

Project Solution

Byteridge developed the client's Android application in a staged approach: initial UX design signoff, followed by feature development including appliance control, multi-appliance triggers, and five to six USB-related features. After incorporating those features, the team began integrations between the app and the physical device so the app could control the device; that integration work was ongoing at the time of the review. The engagement was coordinated through a business development manager while execution was carried out by a designer and a principal developer.

Project Outcome

The app was completed to the client's expectations and awaited Play Store launch within weeks after integrations were finished.
Timelines were adhered to overall, with only minor delays in the second phase.
Mid-project feature changes were accommodated without cost escalation.
