How CLEIO improved the ChromaComfort connected app
With our expertise in user experience, interface design, and development, we identified pain points and improvement opportunities to design a new app version.
We redesigned the navigation to improve the user experience
Simplified pairing process and reduced errors
Our user experience designers added a series of questions to guide the user through the initial pairing. This allows the mobile app to connect to the fan and send the correct commands.
Based on the answers provided by the user, the app will identify the right fan model and use the proper connection process to reduce the risk of errors.
A wider range of lighting colors
The ChromaComfort app’s first version had some limits, especially in the lighting color choice. The user had few color options and could not remove those he didn’t like.
We have increased the number of colors available and softened them, ensuring that the color displayed on the app precisely matches the one diffused by the fan.
We imagined a user interface inspired by nature’s colors
A good technical challenge for our software engineers
Our developers faced a good technical challenge while working on the ChromaComfort app redesign. They had to develop an app that controls the fan without access to its internal operation details.
A more efficient app with every update
The new version of the ChromaComfort app, created by our design and development team, has corrected several connectivity and usability issues. The collaboration between Broan and CLEIO is still ongoing. We continue to work on improving the app to make it more powerful and enjoyable to use, as well as developing other connected products with their team.
