Intellithings develops solutions offering personalized automation for connected home technologies. Intellithings is making waves in the connected living market with it's patented solutions that combine deployed Personal Location Sensors (PLSs) with Smart devices.
The challenge

Based on True Occupancy Automation, the PeopleSensor was designed with the goal of making SmartHomes an optimized personal experience. With an installed sensor at the entrance of every room, we could respond to the person's specific location using phones and wearables to activate the user's preferred settings. This technology allowed us to communicate with the various SmartHome devices through a single interface, while True Occupancy meant that we helped save on energy costs.

From brand to application

Intellithings, the parent company, was formed together with its 1st product. The shaping of the brand, developing the UX/UI of the app, and the commercial website were interwoven.

New Smarthome habits
Designing for new habits

While our lifestyle becomes increasingly automated, a new complexity sets in. The starting point of the PeopleSensor application was a careful study of how people behave with Wearables at home, as well as how Smart Devices are used and configured. We were then able to utilize the Sensor to create a seamless experience of the personalized SmartHome.

Energy Saving True Occupancy
An energy-saving solution

True Occupancy Automation means that devices are in use only for the time that a user is actually in a room, while devices in other rooms are deactivated. More than an attractive feature for consumers, saving on energy and emissions is becoming a priority for all SmartHome technologies.

Defining parameters

From lights to thermostats, computers to fans, every device needs different controllers. PeopleSensor offers a simplified approach to setting devices.

Convenience

Users can choose to adjust settings via phone or computer, making SmatHome management flexible and more accessible for everyone.

User prioritization

What if two people share the room, or if it's a child and an adult? Prioritizing users and defining permissions was another challenge we faced.

Growing market

The SmartThings market is ever-expanding. We designed to accommodate new appliances within the app, as well as being agile enough to iterate.
