Smart Home

Characterizing and design of a Smart Home Dashboard and App which use all available market options interactively

UX RESEARCH

The Problem

As a result of the in-depth user pain points research

I have concluded the following problems:

Smart house users make use of several apps, software&devices, which require excellent integration between them, to enjoy the developments of each of them.

Hebrew is not available, as it is hard to pronounce in the various components. It requires every action that instruct the device to do must, and be pre-planned.

No slang or synonym usage is possible or available, all command texts must be learned by heart for the system to respond and function

User Research

To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key.

Insights

An app that interacts with the platforms and integrates them must be developed, with AI components, performing the actions with a through comprehension of the house chores and tasks. The app should be able to communicate via conversation, not via code passwords. For example, today, in order to turn the TV off, I must pronounce a specific text, remembering all text and commands required. Every system has its limitations. (Apple only referred to on and off switches, not turning volume up & down, so to allow that several manipulations are required).
Today in order to have a smart house, lots of integration work is required. Any decentralized work must be neutralized, and all devices must be united.

Goals

A smart house that moves with you easily. Nowadays everything is wireless, with an open system for each household member, where each could define his or her requirements and needs, under any hierarchical permissions restrictions. All is tailor made and the platform is open and available for all devices.

Solution

One system that combines an app and dashboard, easily functional in Hebrew, based on oral instructions and smart definitions that study the users and are based on various scenarios.
