The challenge
Why it mattered
Smart homes end up with five apps for five brands. Hovi had to unify lights, climate, locks and energy without feeling technical.
Our solution
What we built
Our approach: room-first navigation that mirrors how people think about their home; one-tap device tiles with instant feedback; a climate dial with modes and live energy use; scenes and schedules so the house runs itself.
Key outcome“A tappable prototype and full design system, ready to build for iOS · Android · Wall tablet. You can try it live on the BenchBox Labs page.”
