We provided cross-functional team consisting of 7 persons: C++ developers, embedded developers, Android developer, and Golang developer with Google Cloud, who joined the client for a 2-year journey to support the project goals.
The main scope of our work included:
· implementing and integrating the external partner solution with Client platform in Golang
· development of application available to end-users
· the development of the cloud part responsible for the exchange of data between smart devices and application
· rewriting legacy parts of the code base from Python to C ++
The ChallenGe
The first main goal was to deliver a statistics module, gather all data from sensors, operational functions, etc., and send it to the cloud for further processing. Statistics aggregator was first embedded service written in GoLang where memory management plays a key role. Cloud part had to be scalable and extendable.
Solution
Smart Home Management App that controls multiple sensors, switches, cameras, alarms, and other devices. It contains two main parts: cloud and embedded.
The App provides a user-friendly management tool that reduces the need for users requiring support.
It allows complete home control and increases comfort and security while lowering energy bills. The users can view cameras, sensors, and alarms, adjust indoor climate and lighting, and monitor energy consumption. Instant notifications on the phone and live video feed from cameras help remotely manage the security level.
