Complicated network setup for smart home devices

Account setup, network connection and device linking are fragmented, with insufficient status feedback.

Research area: Smart home and household appliancesProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Map setup flows across user roles, devices and apps.
  2. Standardize step order, prerequisites and connection status.
  3. Validate recovery through first-time setup and failed-connection drills.

Key Deliverables

  • Network setup flow
  • Cross-device status
  • First-time setup guide

Verification Approach

Log repeated attempts and help requests after failed connections.
