Low - Fid Wireframe
After organising all of the concepts from the Ideation phase, we began
creating the application. To begin, we drew some of the app's
most important screens,
using
the user flows as a guide. We were able to quickly test a range of layout possibilities as a
result of this.

Mid - Fid Wireframe
Starting the Design step with the wireframes. We started with some mid-fi
designs and tested them with some users. After
gathering some feedback, we tweaked them
and
came up with this final product. We next ran it through its paces with three
people to
see
if it met both user and business needs.

features and for

Music
Music can be controlled directly from the TIO Home App,
and the user
can
sync his music from his favourite app. In
the same way that any other music
application,
he can
increase, decrease, go back, and forward.

Temperature
The user has access to his ventilation system while
outside or inside
the
house and can adjust the
temperature using the TIO Home App. The user can also
change
fan speed and cooling at the same time with this.
Settings
The user can set up an application lock, grant remote
access to
various
smart devices, receive notifications,
change his home location, and, most
importantly,
manage
all of his elements or products using Settings.
Custom Experiences
One of the features of the TIO Home App is that it allows
users to save
their data and create multiple custom
experiences and interactions in the cloud that are
unique
to each user.
