Equinox needs to work on iOS, Android, and the in wall controller. It needs to be Simple - Intuitive access, control, and feedback for luxury spaces. Flexible - Easily personalized and adapted to the customers' changing needs. Reliable - Simple powered network connection (Cat5e with POE); iOS and Android tablet apps provide wireless system control. Consistent - Keypad, touchscreens, and mobile apps provide a consistent graphical user interface; aesthetics such as form, color, shape, and size are complementary. Multi System Control - Comprehensive drivers allow interoperability with premier partners (for example, shades from Qmotion).

Feedback from users highlighted the app’s ease of use, reliability, and the valuable insights it provided, cementing Vantages position as a leader in home automation. I won the Design for Experience award issued by UX Magazine for having a complex cross platform product. The forward thinking of having the home tiles being able to control features at that level put the product on the winners podium.
