The document outlines seven steps to develop a smart home app, starting with understanding smart home technology and validating the app idea through market research. It emphasizes the importance of selecting the application type, listing core features, addressing security requirements, and choosing suitable data storage options. Additionally, it highlights the need to know various smart home components to ensure the app functions effectively with them.

1. 7 small steps to
develop a smart-
home app
UNIFIED INFOTECH

2. Find out how
smart home
automation works

3. As the first step, you have to learn all you can about
the smart home technology and how it works. From
the very first time smart home technology came to
being to the recent advances in this technology,.
This step will make you well-acquainted with the
emerging trends, which will eventually lead to
enhanced performance for your application.

4. Validate the idea
with market
research

5. During the second step, you have to conduct market
research and idea validation. This is the step where
you will find out the possibility of success for your
smart home application and how well it’ll perform in
the market.
This is also the step where you take a detailed look at
your competitors and take note of everything they are
doing. This research will help with your development
process later on.

6. Choose the
application type

7. Before development you have to choose the type of
smart home app you want to develop.
You can choose to develop a single tasking smart-
home app that’ll work with only one IoT device. And
on the other hand you can choose to go with
multitasking smart home applications that work with
more than one IoT device. Make your choice carefully
before starting with development.

8. List the core
features

9. The necessary features (registration, access
management, onboarding process, etc.)
The common features (device sensor pages, room
selection, push notifications)
The unique features (grouping rooms together,
creating scenes and ambiance.)
When it comes to listing out the features, you can do
it in three parts,

10. Understand the
security
requirements

11. You need to understand the security requirements
and problems related to IoT security before
implementing security measurements on your
application.
Identify the security issues your application might
face and implement the right solutions to deal with
them. Once you have done that you can move on with
the next step.

12. Choose the right
data storage
types

13. Home automations systems work by collecting and
processing data. And that’s why you need to choose
the right data storage to enhance the performance of
your application.
You can choose the cloud storage option, where the
data is stored in the cloud service and can be
accessed anywhere anytime. Or you can choose the
local storage service, which is a slightly more secure
option.

14. Smart home
components to
know about

15. To make a well functioning smart home application,
you should find out all you can about the different
smart home components. Your app needs to work in
sync with these different components such as the
central hub, sensors, actuators, etc.
Make sure that your smart home app works perfectly
in sync with all kinds of smart home components.
