HEMS app update

Since we first announced intentions to design a web application for Robotina’s platform operations, we have been working on a number of possible models. We made sure that our efforts were thorough, so that the final selected application model would be highly functional in all aspects. Some of the things we considered in the design includes the required ease of use, app attractiveness, use features, and the connection format. Now, all has been finalized in this regards, and we have in fact decided to bring a much needed stylish upgrade to what was intended from the start. As it stands now, the HEMS app would carry some sense of real control over the optimization procedures peculiar to the house where it is being connected to. What this means is that, we have packaged the utmost required control needed by the house owners, into a mobile app. Thus, it doesn’t matter if you were far away and cannot directly monitor things in the house; the new app would be just prompt enough to press the on and off buttons, as you so desire.

What are the things to expect?

Following the completion of the basic structuring and modelling of the app, we have entered the next phase of testing, development and upgrading, before the final release. The final release would come immediately we’re certain that the model has successfully passed through all of the required subjected tests. The tests are meant to help us determine how functional the app would continue to be, especially when the usage is severely and thoroughly used by thousands of our product and service subscribers.

Asides the basic functionality such as energy purchases, monitoring of energy use activities in the house, and communication with the Robotina network, there are secondary features that we’re adding. The secondary feature too are essentially important, and they would serve to complement the basic features. For instance, when the app becomes finally released, it would be able to show time plot data such as trends and graphics, for activities that have occurred from over time. This feature is incorporated so as to make the user have a real idea of their energy usage with price correlation. By this, they are able to easily monitor their energy usage without the complexities of reading and understanding coded symbols. We are currently working on a format arrangement that would interpret energy use data sent by the optimization algorithm, such that everything comes out as readable plain texts and charts that are easy to understand.

Other basic characteristics of the app

Robotina is putting down all the required efforts to see to it that we do not release just any application that is not up to the standards. We are subjecting the prototype to a series of determined test assessments, and are taking out elements that may create a bug in its function.

Considering the peculiarities of the app in terms of its proposed many functions, we want to ensure that it is able to function almost as effectively as our hardware optimization units themselves. By this, the app should be able to bypass common app errors and misgivings that may want to occur due to such things as slow network connections, or low internet access.

Since work has reached the advanced level, the application is expected for release in a couple of few weeks. The application can be referred to as your remote control to Robotina’s energy optimization services.
