Rebuilt consumer and configurator apps for a smart home product line, doubling satisfaction and cutting setup time by 40 percent

We rebuilt both mobile apps natively, replacing the prior Android-only MVP. The consumer app gives end users intuitive control over lights, appliances and scenes. The installer configurator app lets technicians set up smart devices across rooms and floors efficiently. Both apps run on real-time sync across users and devices, with secure remote control from anywhere.

The mobile apps are built natively, using Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android. The backend runs on Node.js and integrates with Nuos's hardware SDKs. Firebase is used for messaging and supporting services, with AWS underneath.

For a smart home product where the app talks to physical devices in near real time, native gives the headroom to handle device communication, state synchronisation and graceful connectivity recovery without the abstraction overhead that comes with cross-platform frameworks.

Consumers and installers have very different needs. Consumers want everyday control; installers need device-level setup tools that match field workflows. Splitting the apps lets each be tuned to its actual user, which enabled the 40 percent faster configuration and the doubled user satisfaction.

The platform synchronises state across the connected devices and the users who interact with them. When one user changes a scene, the change reflects on every other device in real time. Secure remote control from outside the home is handled through the same synchronisation layer.

Yes. IoT and smart home is an established part of our portfolio. The Nuos engagement covers native mobile, hardware SDK integration, real-time device control, configurator tooling and the supporting backend.

Yes. Both apps are live on the App Store and Google Play.

The consumer app was delivered in four months and the configurator app in two months, with both apps subsequently extended and maintained over time.
