For my summative project at Yoobee Auckland, I am developing a home climate control application. As part of my research, I would like to ask the users of Geekzone a few questions to help steer me in the right direction in terms of features and functionality. The idea is that an existing electronics company develops this app to let customers control their heaters, dehumidifiers, etc. remotely.
As I am currently in the first phase of my research, all I need at this point is an understanding of the problems people might be having with their home heating and ideas for features to include in the application.
- Problems to solve (for example: coming home to a cold house, damp homes, kids health issues)
- Features to include (for example: zones, schedules, password protection)
- Essential functionality (for example: being able to control the system remotely)
Any input is appreciated! :)
TIA
