Project Summary

Ralabs built an MVP smart-home remote app that integrated controls for multiple connected devices and also completed branding design work. The engagement included architecture design, development, QA, and ongoing support; the client praised Ralabs' development, communication, and project management throughout the five-month engagement.

Key Challenges

  • Build a complex app to support control of multiple IoT devices in homes
  • Overcome significant math-related technical implementation challenges
  • Support a specific set of physical devices (smart TVs, thermostats, others)
  • Provide branding design support in addition to engineering

Project Deliverables

  • Minimum viable product (smart home remote app)
  • Technical architecture and estimates (skeleton for future builds)
  • Branding design work
  • Ongoing support and incremental feature development

Project Solution

Ralabs reviewed the client's earlier prototype and built a more complex MVP without reusing the prior app. Their engineers investigated implementation options, proposed technical solutions, and produced a technical architecture and estimates. The engagement included project management, an engineering team and QA; resources used and mentioned skills included Python, Node.js and React.

Project Outcome

  • MVP ready to use and ready to sell
  • New features proposed by Ralabs were implemented
  • Improved data-collection approach enabled better testing
  • Ongoing performance improvements and support from Ralabs
