Vimar View
All-in-one home control app
Vimar View is an integrated platform for controlling and monitoring every aspect of the connected home, from lighting and climate systems to energy consumption, access control, and automation scenarios. Behind its simplicity lies a months-long research and development process aimed at making highly complex functionalities accessible to users with diverse needs and levels of technical expertise.
From the earliest stages of the project, 21AM conducted extensive research into user behaviors, mental models, and interaction patterns within the domestic environment. The goal was to understand how to organize hundreds of features and thousands of potential devices into a system that would remain intuitive, consistent, and immediately understandable. These insights informed the definition of the information architecture, navigation flows, and the application's overall visual language.
A central role was played by the study of cognitive ergonomics and recognition mechanisms. To reduce cognitive load, navigation was structured around the home's physical environments and supported by a comprehensive iconography system that enables users to quickly identify rooms, devices, and their current status. Likewise, all interactions were designed around consistent and repeatable behaviors, encouraging progressive learning regardless of the complexity of the installed system.
The result is a user experience that makes home management immediate and accessible, whether performing simple actions or advanced tasks such as energy management, scenario configuration, consumption monitoring, and the control of a large number of devices. Vimar View demonstrates how research, UX design, and cognitive ergonomics can transform a complex technological ecosystem into a simple, accessible, and inclusive experience for everyone.
