Research Insights


  • Disjointed device management: Users had to navigate separate menus to control the alarm, automation, and cameras. Many reported getting lost or forgetting where to perform key actions—like unlocking a door or viewing live footage.


  • Lack of clear system feedback: When arming or disarming, users often didn’t receive immediate confirmation.

The BlueEye design system ensures consistency, scalability, and efficiency across the platform. It unifies typography, colors, components, and interactions into a cohesive framework. Built for flexibility, it supports both rapid prototyping and production-ready deployment. Clear documentation and reusable elements streamline collaboration, reduce errors, and maintain a polished, intuitive user experience across all devices and touchpoints.

Designing BlueEye was a chance to simplify smart home security into one intuitive, trustworthy experience.


What worked well:
• Unified alarm, video, and automation into one interface
• Real user feedback shaped core priorities
• Clean UI boosted confidence in critical actions
• Modular design adapted well to mobile and tablet


What could improve:
• Key automations still felt hidden
• Role-based access needed more clarity
• Edge cases weren’t tested early enough

Security isn’t just control—it’s confidence.
