Elinext redesigned the architecture of a smart home IoT company's iOS app for NETGEAR, adding device management, event triggers, emergency responses, cloud recordings, and HomeKit integration. The engagement included optimizing video streaming, designing a user-friendly UI, and overseeing Android development handled by another partner. The app has achieved over 7 million downloads, 1.4 million daily active users, 130,000 App Store reviews, and a 4.5/5 rating.

Project Solution

We found Elinext offline and selected them for their strong mobile expertise. Six to ten Elinext employees were assigned to the project. Their team rebuilt the smart home iOS app from scratch, redesigning its architecture and implementing device management, event triggers, emergency responses, cloud recordings, and HomeKit integration. They optimized video streaming, designed a user-friendly UI, studied competitors for best practices, and oversaw Android development managed by another partner.
