Honeywell is a multinational conglomerate recognised for its innovative technologies and solutions across various industries, including aerospace, building technologies, performance materials, safety solutions, and the connected home. With their range of connected devices and systems, their Honeywell Home division offers homeowners convenient control over their heating, cooling, security, and automation systems, enhancing the overall smart home experience.
The challenge
Define the vision, strategy, design and development for a new home automation product.
The solution
An award winning suite of applications that push industry standards and delight users.
Our approach
By putting our users at the core of our analysis and design activities, we ensured that each and every requirement had a clear benefit to the user.
Placing the home at the centre of the app’s interaction, we worked closely with busy homeowners who value comfort and efficiency to deliver an engaging, intuitive application allowing users to control multiple locations, set the indoor heating temperature, and initiate a range of Quick Actions. This ensures they have the flexibility to conveniently optimise comfort and energy consumption on the go.
Technology
We used several technologies and a great range of integrations to underpin the success of the project.
Results
The app was the first of its kind in the European Market and it was an immediate success, receiving a raft of 5-star reviews and even going on to win 3 awards for Best Mobile App. This success led us to expand the TCC Home Automation offering to smart watches and voice assistants, earning praise from both Honeywell and Google.
