About IoT smart switch MVP development

The client approached us with his side project to develop an MVP of a smart switch which can convert any device to a smart device with Google assistant and Alexa integration. The product was planned to hit the mass Indian market.

The problem: 

Client wanted to check the feasibility of such a product to match the requirements of per unit budget and technical viability. The requirements were to make it work seamlessly with home automation systems and across multiple devices.

 The solution:

We chose a quick and easy solution for the client with the Nod MCU with ESP32 board for its built-in wifi module to enable network communication. A small mobile app was created with flutter for app based communication. Web socket protocol was used here for bidirectional communication. Google assistant and Alexa interface was also created.

The result:

We successfully built a smart switch which was operable using google assistant or Alexa. We named it “Home World”.
