This project was initiated by my PM lead. At the beginning, the company’s technology, cloud, and app teams were developing independently, with little system integration. To provide users with a more intuitive way to manage their smart home devices, we set out to build an app that could connect them all together. In this project, D-Link developed a central Hub that links various devices and introduced the HNAP protocol, enabling seamless communication among three major types of devices — Wi-Fi, Socket, and Z-Wave. My role was to design a user experience that allows people to control their entire smart home with just one phone and one app. This was not just an interface integration, but a large-scale collaboration across technologies and teams. Thanks to the joint efforts of PMs, designers, and engineers, we gradually turned what once seemed impossible into reality.

Problem & Needs

There is no unified specification and language for each product line.
Each product line develops apps with similar functions but different styles

Refine Goals

Control and monitor all your mydlink connected home devices with your smartphone or tablet.

With its intuitive user interface, you can instantly see the status of all your mydlink connected home products and set up rules for interaction between multiple devices, such as PIR motion sensors and smart plugs or window sensors and sirens.
