Project Summary

Droid Technologies developed custom firmware for a Silicon Valley startup building a home IoT device to mitigate water leaks. The team is efficient and communicative despite a language barrier; they delivered development estimates that were within 20% of actual man-hours and produced high-quality software with few bugs.

Key Challenges

  • Need to write custom firmware
  • Need to implement firmware for a device that senses water flow and actuates a shutoff valve to mitigate leaks

Project Deliverables

  • Custom firmware for home IoT water-leak product
  • Firmware integration with ESP32 Wi‑Fi and STM32 processors
  • Cloud integration on Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Project Solution

Droid Technologies is developing the firmware for a home IoT device that detects water flow and actuates a shutoff valve to mitigate leaks. The client designed the hardware and sensing algorithm and outsourced firmware development to Droid Technologies. The hardware uses an ESP32 chip for Wi‑Fi connectivity and an STM32 processor for core algorithms, and the solution integrates with Amazon AWS for cloud services. The vendor provides firmware development and works with a firmware engineer and a program manager on the engagement.

Project Outcome

  • Estimates were within 20% of actual man-hours
  • High-quality software with few bugs and quick resolution
  • Effective project management and communication via Slack and GitHub
