Smart Ventilation System
Project Overview
In the ever-evolving world of Smart Ventilation Systems, a client approached Magnatesage Technologies with a vision to revolutionize air quality control for residential and commercial spaces. Their existing solution lacked seamless control, efficient monitoring, and precise airflow management—resulting in user dissatisfaction and high operational costs.
Magnatesage’s journey began with an in-depth consultation to understand the client’s pain points and objectives. We aimed to deliver a robust, user-friendly, and energy-efficient mobile application capable of seamlessly interacting with their ventilation hardware, providing users with real-time insights and customized control over their indoor environment.

The Challenges
Initially, the setup of continuous extract fans could be time consuming, often requiring manual adjustments and potentially leading to errors. Installers needed a more efficient way to configure the fans to meet specific room requirements. Homeowners, while benefiting from continuous ventilation, lacked clear visibility into the fan’s performance and how it was contributing to their indoor environment. Addressing nuisance noise, a common reason for users disabling fans, was
also crucial. Furthermore, providing a secure and user-friendly interface for interacting with the fan’s advanced features presented a significant development challenge.
