Project Overview
SmartLife Technologies manufactures a range of smart home devices including lights, thermostats, cameras, and sensors. They needed a unified mobile app that could control all their devices across platforms, learn user preferences, and integrate with popular voice assistants for a seamless smart home experience.
The Challenge
SmartLife had separate apps for different device categories, each with its own account system and inconsistent UX. Customers were frustrated with managing multiple apps, and the lack of cross-device automation was driving them to competitor ecosystems.
- •Four separate apps for different device categories with inconsistent UX
- •No cross-device automation or scene management capabilities
- •Customers leaving for competitors with unified ecosystems like Google Home
- •Device connectivity issues with 15% failure rate on initial setup
- •No voice assistant integration limiting hands-free control
Our Solution
We built a unified Flutter app with real-time device control via MQTT, AI-powered automation that learns user routines, and native integrations with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri for complete voice control.
- Developed cross-platform Flutter app with unified device management
- Implemented MQTT protocol for sub-second device communication
- Built TensorFlow Lite models for on-device routine learning and automation
- Created scene management system for multi-device orchestration
- Integrated with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri Shortcuts
Development Process
Device Protocol Analysis
2 weeksReverse-engineered existing device protocols, unified communication standards, and designed the MQTT topic architecture.
App Development
12 weeksBuilt the Flutter application with device pairing, real-time control, automation engine, and voice assistant integration.
AI Model Training
4 weeksTrained TensorFlow Lite models on anonymized usage data for routine detection and predictive automation.
Beta Testing & Optimization
2 weeksConducted beta testing with 500 households, refined setup flow based on feedback, and optimized battery and performance.

“
The new app completely changed our customers' experience. People used to complain about juggling multiple apps, and now they're raving about automation features they didn't even know they wanted. The AI routines are genuinely delightful to use.
