Airconet - Smart HVAC Control System

Airconet offers an advanced IoT-based HVAC management system that enables users to control air conditioning units remotely via mobile and web interfaces. Our development team was tasked with building a robust, scalable solution that supports real-time control, energy-saving automation, and seamless integration with multiple device types.

‍

Before our involvement, HVAC management systems often lacked user-friendly interfaces and reliable remote control capabilities. The core challenges included:

• Limited interoperability between different air conditioning brands and models.
• Inconsistent or delayed real-time communication between mobile devices and IoT hardware.
• Lack of scalability and security in backend infrastructure.
• Non-optimized user experience across iOS and Android platforms.

Our team developed an integrated Smart HVAC platform with the following key components:

• Backend System: Built with Java 11, using sockets for real-time communication and AWS cloud infrastructure for scalability and availability.
• IoT Integration: Enabled communication between mobile apps and HVAC devices using custom socket protocols and secure MQTT-like patterns.
• Mobile Applications:
  
  
  
  • Android App: Developed using Java and Kotlin, offering real-time HVAC control, scheduling, and device monitoring.
  • iOS App: Developed in Swift, delivering a native experience tailored to Apple users.‍
• Frontend Web Portal: Provided user-friendly dashboard for monitoring and controlling devices, managing schedules, and user account settings

‍Tech Stack

• Backend: Java 11, Custom Socket Programming, REST APIs, MQTT (or similar lightweight protocol), AWS EC2, RDS, S3
• IoT: Secure device communication over custom protocols, real-time data streams
• Mobile:
  
  • Android – Java & Kotlin
  • iOS – Swift
• Frontend: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (framework as applicable)‍
• Cloud & DevOps: Amazon Web Services (EC2, RDS, S3), CI/CD pipelines, monitoring tools

The final solution delivered measurable improvements across various aspects:

• Real-time Control: Users can instantly turn devices on/off, change modes, or adjust temperature settings.
• Energy Efficiency: Intelligent scheduling and usage tracking helped users reduce energy consumption.
• Cross-Platform Consistency: Unified user experience across iOS, Android, and web platforms.
• Scalable Infrastructure: Cloud-based backend enabled smooth handling of thousands of concurrent users and devices.
