Engineered in Italy
We partnered with the client to design a smart power control app that supports their new line of connected home devices. Our work began with the core application, enabling users to manage plugs, power strips, and schedules. As the ecosystem evolved, we extended the interface design to include the smart thermostat, ensuring a consistent, intuitive experience across all touchpoints while adapting to the specific needs of each device.
Challenge
The client needed a cohesive digital experience for their smart product series, beginning with a central control hub. The challenge was to balance technical features with usability, designing interfaces that felt simple and intuitive across devices. For the thermostat specifically, we had to convey automation in a way that still felt tangible and user-led.

Design process
We developed a modular app UI that could adapt across product types, starting with core smart plug and power strip features. When the thermostat joined the product family, we extended the design system to support its unique interaction model, focusing on immediate feedback, daily routine recognition, and clear energy insights.
Solution
Our app interface was created with flexibility in mind, built to evolve alongside a growing range of smart devices. It began with foundational elements like plugs and switches, then grew to include the thermostat, bringing new design challenges. We refined the system to handle its dynamic controls, with an emphasis on instant feedback, personalized routines, and actionable energy data.
Designed to support the 4box Smart Series, the app enables seamless socket management, real-time energy monitoring, and automation for a smarter, more efficient home.
Smarter energy starts here
The app provides real-time energy consumption insights and supports users in reducing waste through personalized saving strategies.
Smart thermostat control
We crafted a user-friendly thermostat experience that makes managing home temperature effortless. Users can adjust settings in real time, monitor energy usage, and control individual rooms, all through a clean, responsive interface designed to perform seamlessly in any lighting condition.
The result is a flexible, intuitive platform that delivers a consistent experience across all smart devices. As the ecosystem grows, the app is ready to scale, making it easy for users to stay connected and in control.
End to end surgical pathways.
