SMart Home Water AnaLYTICS APP
The task at hand was to imagine a mobile app that displays water analytics to a homeowner. The app would be connected to a hardware element, a flow meter, that would be placed in various places in the plumbing of the home to measure water usage.
The app needed to allow the user to learn about their water consumption and improve their habits. The app would prevent users from losing money on wasted water or expensive leaks. Above average usage for a long time would, for example, indicate there is a leak in the house and this information would be reflected in the mobile app to alert the homeowner. The app needed to be easy to use and fall into what users expect for a smart home aesthetic, sleek and friendly. I completed the preliminary concept designs for the mobile app.
