Micko Smart Home

Open Source

Smart home mobile apps are usually boring flat dashboards with generic toggle switches and sliders that feel completely disconnected from the physical appliances in your room. I wanted to bring physical tactile feedback back into the digital screen.

The core of the app is an interactive hanging light rope. Pulling the cord down uses custom Flutter AnimationController physics and elastic Tween curves to bounce and snap realistically, accompanied by heavy device haptics that feel like an actual physical pull switch clicking into place.

The rest of the UI uses a frosted glassmorphic layout with live device states, temperature readouts, and estimated monthly energy usage across multi-room setups. Built with responsive MediaQuery scaling, the interface stays crisp and responsive on screens of any size.
