Tech Stack Used

  • React Native
  • Native Bluetooth modules
  • Wi‑Fi bridging
  • MQTT server
  • analytics & diagnostics tooling
  • modular component architecture

Requirement

The client needed a robust mobile application that could pair AC units via Bluetooth, provision them on Wi‑Fi, support full remote operation, expose deep diagnostics for technicians, and stream analytics—all while ensuring secure, low‑latency communication between devices, app, and MQTT backend.

Results

  • Simplified Device Onboarding

    Bluetooth pairing and guided Wi‑Fi setup significantly reduced installation time and user friction when connecting new AC units.

  • Higher User Convenience & Insight

    Remote operation and real‑time analytics gave customers precise control and visibility into energy usage and performance trends.

  • Faster, Data‑Driven Servicing

    Built‑in diagnostics, error reporting, and technician tools shortened troubleshooting cycles and improved first‑time fix rates.

  • IoT‑Ready Platform for Expansion

    The secure, modular architecture positioned the client to extend the solution to additional device types and advanced energy‑efficiency features.

Our Process

Requirement Analysis

Worked with product and service teams to define customer and technician flows, connectivity scenarios, and reliability and security constraints across homes and field environments.

Core Solution

  • Unified Smart AC Controller

    Delivered a React Native app that lets users pair ACs, adjust temperature and modes, and manage multiple devices from a single dashboard with polished transitions and responsive controls.

  • IoT Messaging with MQTT

    Implemented a publish‑subscribe model where commands and telemetry flow through lightweight MQTT topics, enabling reliable control and feedback even on unstable networks.

  • Dual Customer & Technician Flows

    Created dedicated experiences for end users (comfort controls, service requests, insights) and technicians (diagnostics, test flows, error codes) to streamline both usage and maintenance.

  • Secure, Scalable Connectivity Layer

    Combined encrypted Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi communication with MQTT and modular components so new AC models and future smart appliances can be onboarded with minimal changes.
