The Challenge

Designing a smart home dashboard for Panasonic that feels intuitive across devices, cultures, and usage patterns without overwhelming first time users of Panasonic. The experience had to remain familiar, scalable, and fast even on lower end smartphones.

Translating Physical Behavior Into Digital Systems

Analogy Design approached the challenge using UX research, interaction design, and system design principles. The team studied how Panasonic users interact with physical switches, thermostats, and control panels inside Indian homes. These insights shaped digital widgets, app navigation, and dashboard design that mirrored real world behavior. The result was a mobile application for Panasonic that reduced learning effort while supporting complex smart home controls.

Panasonic Miraie, conceptualized by Panasonic and executed with Analogy Design, launched in 2019 as a unified smart home app.

From isolated devices to a single connected experience that feels effortless.

Analogy Design aligned its design process with Panasonic’s product vision and internal workflows. A hybrid of waterfall approach and agile methodology was used to balance structured research with rapid prototyping. This allowed the team to define clear user flows while staying adaptable during development. Every design decision focused on ease of use, performance, and long term scalability. The interaction design was built around familiarity and trust. Neomorphic UI elements replicated physical switches and temperature controls users already understood.Multi gesture navigation and visual feedback created confidence during daily use. This approach transformed the IoT dashboard into an intuitive digital experience rather than a technical control system.

Every Device Speaks A Different Language

Each Panasonic smart product comes with its own UI, navigation logic, and interaction pattern. This inconsistency breaks trust, increases learning time, and makes home automation feel complex and unreliable.

Maintenance Becomes A Mental Load

Managing updates, device status, and performance across multiple Panasonic smart systems is exhausting. What should feel intelligent instead becomes a constant source of alerts, confusion, and missed issues.
