The company needed additional development expertise to improve its existing mobile application and introduce more sophisticated thermostat controls. Integrating new functionality required close coordination with hardware and firmware teams, particularly when device limitations complicated support for popular smart home technologies.
Solution
Advanced Thermostat Features
Toptal developers used React Native, GraphQL, Redux, and RTK Query to build and refine smart home features, including geofencing, complex scheduling, and third-party integrations.
Custom Siri Integration
Working around hardware limitations that prevented Apple HomeKit integration, a Toptal developer implemented Siri voice controls for thermostats, allowing users to interact with their heating and cooling systems through voice commands.
Outcome
Expanded Application Functionality
The smart home application gained additional thermostat management features, giving users more ways to control their home’s temperature through mobile devices and automated settings.
Voice Control Delivered
The Siri integration introduced voice-based thermostat controls despite hardware constraints that ruled out conventional HomeKit support. The developer received positive client feedback for overcoming this technical challenge.
