Challenge

  1. Enabling real-time, stable data synchronization between the shower device and mobile application
  2. Dividing water usage into distinct user sessions while maintaining measurement accuracy
  3. Displaying detailed session data on a web dashboard for ongoing user review
  4. Ensuring Bluetooth-based mobile control of shower settings without connectivity lags or power drain

Solution

With a tight delivery timeline, we selected Flutter to develop a cross-platform mobile app efficiently. Communication between the app and shower head was enabled via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to preserve battery life.
To minimize cloud data usage, synchronization is limited to specific Wi-Fi connections and time intervals. We implemented OTA DFU (Over-the-Air Firmware Updates) to ensure devices stay current without manual servicing. A custom energy-saving logic was embedded to allow self-charging via water flow.
