The objective of this thesis was to develop a mobile application to configure devices that monitor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). The work was commissioned by inBiot monitoring S.L., a Spanish startup born in November of 2018. The company produces and sells the devices, which are called MICAs.
The development of the application was divided into three phases: analysis phase, design phase and implementation phase. The research on the application requirements and the connection between the application and the devices of the company was conducted during the analysis phase. Every aspect related to the UI design and usability was developed during the design phase. Finally, a great part of the implementation phase was centered on finding an efficient solution to the connection between the application and MICA. The remaining part of the implementation phase was focused on programming and testing.
The thesis project has resulted in a successful cross platform application for iOS and Android developed with React Native. Customers of inBiot could use the application to configure their MICAs in an easy way. The configuration process can be done in three steps: connecting to the access point of MICA, sending Wi-Fi credentials to MICA and sending configuration values to MICA. The application offers a user friendly and intuitive UI that guides users through all the configuration steps very clearly.
