Figma, React
A semester project aimed at making energy consumption visible and simplifying energy savings, making it accessible for everyone to participate.
Problem
42% of households are unaware of how much energy their devices consume, making savings difficult. Without clear consumption data,
energy-saving remains an abstract goal rather than a practical habit.
How can we design a solution that helps users cut energy use easily and efficiently? Using Lean Design, we focused on rapid insights, user research, and agile prototyping.
Outcome
Solution
Wattguard provides a real-time consumption overview and a diagnostic tool that identifies inefficient devices and offers optimization tips. By integrating smart plugs and MQTT data transmission, the app visualizes real-time energy consumption. Live-updating charts help users make informed, energy-efficient choices. Here are the key features of the mobile app:
Test Prototype
Consumption Overview
Displays energy usage in kWh and cost, with a scrollable daily view and the option to check categories.
Diagnosis
Identifies energy-draining devices, compares consumption, and provides efficiency recommendations.
Program Check
Displays various programs, their consumption curves, and associated costs.
Challenges
Offers various challenges to join or create, competing with others to promote sustainable habits.
Achievements
Displays savings, completed challenges, and earned points in a clear overview.
Onboarding
A guided setup that collects household data to personalize energy-saving tips.
