Dusker

In a recent collaboration, we worked with Dusker, a company known for its innovative audio products aimed at enhancing the bedtime experience. The project centered around the development of a mobile application for the Dusker Sleepbar v2.0, a bone conduction sleep speaker that delivers audio through a pillow, designed to provide a comfortable, wire-free listening experience without disturbing others.

The challenge

Dusker’s vision was to complement their Sleepbar v2.0 with a mobile application that allowed users to control the device seamlessly. The application needed to support Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for efficient connectivity and offer functionalities such as setting timers, adjusting sound settings through an advanced equalizer, and ensuring a user-friendly experience across both iOS and Android platforms.

The Solution

To meet Dusker’s needs, we developed a comprehensive mobile application facilitating easy control over the Sleepbar v2.0’s features. This included a streamlined device pairing process, the ability to select from predefined sound profiles or create custom ones via an advanced equalizer, and the integration of a timer mode for auto-shutoff. We also implemented a low battery notification to alert users when the device needed recharging.

The development process involved creating a BLE communication module for the app, allowing it to scan for nearby devices, connect with the Sleepbar, and perform secure data exchanges. This ensured that users could interact with their Sleepbar in real-time, adjusting settings such as volume, bass, and treble, and receiving updates on the device’s status, including battery level and firmware version.

The Approach

Choosing Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android, our team focused on leveraging the strengths of each platform to ensure optimal app performance. The user interface was designed to simplify the navigation and interaction with the app’s extensive features, making it accessible to users with varying levels of technical proficiency.

Comprehensive testing phases, including smoke testing, functional testing, and user interface testing, ensured the app’s reliability. Deployment was facilitated through Google Firebase and TestFlight, allowing for efficient iteration and feedback collection before the final launch on the Apple Store and Google Play Market.

The Benefits

The final product was a user-friendly mobile application that enhanced the functionality of the Dusker Sleepbar v2.0, making it easy for users to personalize their bedtime listening experience. By focusing on efficient BLE communication and a seamless user interface, we provided Dusker with a solution that met their goal of offering a high-quality, comfortable, and disturbance-free listening experience to their customers.
