Mercury – Smart Home Thermostat App Design
I designed an app for smart home management, specifically for controlling digital thermostats. The app features both a mobile version, offering quick access to essential functions on the go, and a tablet version, providing a more comprehensive view with additional options available at a glance.
The digital thermostat app allows users to manage multiple locations separately, such as home and office, and multiple rooms within each location. It intelligently detects when the user is present or away, enabling preset configurations for different scenarios. Additionally, the app detects the time of day, automatically switching the interface to day and night modes. A nice addition is the local weather hint, helping users make informed adjustments.
Key functionalities include setting the thermostat mode to heat, cool, eco, or away, and managing fan speed. The interface uses color coding to identify each mode, complemented by a horseshoe-shaped display for intuitive interaction. This design ensures that users can easily and efficiently control their home environment, enhancing their comfort and convenience.
