CHALLENGES

  • Data Synchronization: Ensuring seamless data flow between the app and the shower device.
  • User Session Management: Accurately dividing shower data into individual user sessions.
  • Web Dashboard Display: Effectively displaying shower session data on the web application.
  • Mobile App Control: Enabling users to control shower settings through the mobile app.

KEY FEATURES

  • Personalized profile management.
  • Temperature control.
  • Water usage tracking.
  • Self-charging using a water stream.
  • Firmware updates.
  • Unique case design.

OUR APPROACH

Facing a tight deadline, the Embrox team chose Flutter to build a cross-platform mobile app quickly. We used Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for communication between the app and device to minimize power consumption and extend battery life. To optimize network traffic, the app synchronizes with the cloud only when connected to Wi-Fi and at specific times. The team also implemented over-the-air Device Firmware Updates (OTA DFU) to enable ongoing device updates and prevent potential failures.

RESULTS

Our team was able to successfully deliver a comprehensive solution for monitoring and managing your shower experience in the most convenient way. The mobile app, compatible with both Android and iOS, offers convenient tracking and control. The system is designed for energy and cost efficiency, helping save water and money.
We successfully developed a device that is self-charging, powered by your shower's water stream, with wireless firmware updates. Real-time shower data is displayed in the mobile app, which collects information about your shower sessions and energy generation. Shower sessions are controlled through user's profile in the app saving up to 60% water. The battery stays above 90% charged even after three months of use with the generator.
