Home automation for years has been the domain of home installers, outfitting wealthy consumers with expensive setups. Now, there are companies like Nest, Hue, Dropcam, Honeywell and Belkin that let people individually control their lights, locks, cameras, garage doors or anything with a plug. The biggest challenge here is the steep learning curve for people to setup and use multiple applications with very different user interfaces. In short, it is a nightmare to make all these devices work as a single unified system. Our project – Grapevine, is a one‐stop solution, which aims to simplify this process of home automation and make your entire apartment building intelligent. Grapevine will allow residents to completely personalize and automate their apartments, while also enabling apartment managers to conveniently manage processes like security, lighting or maintenance for the whole building. Grapevine will offer complete control, convenience and security through a simple, well‐designed mobile application.
