DMC previously worked with Snooz on a Bluetooth-Connected Consumer Device with Mobile App<\/a> and recently built Breez, a second product that is an extension of the original design. DMC converted the original model that utilized two microcontrollers \u2013 one for device control and the other as a dedicated Bluetooth chip – into a single ESP32 chip<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

DMC combined the two microchips into a single ESP32 module to lower costs\u00a0and began by using the built-in capacitive touch on the ESP32 chip. To improve performance, DMC implemented a dedicated capacitive touch controller, which enhanced\u00a0touch reliability.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

DMC\u2019s upgrade of the product allows for over-the-air updates and\u00a0temperature sensing through an added thermistor. It was also\u00a0designed on a sturdy wood base to prevent rattling noise. The temperature sensing feature automatically turns on and off based on the temperature of the room, can be set to a timer schedule, and can be controlled with a smart plug. The added fan allows consumers to alter the temperature while the product still\u00a0provides white noise.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

DMC\u2019s previous work with the client and our experience with firmware programming and circuit board design allowed us to provide a modern, updated solution and successfully upgrade to dedicated capacitive touch reliability.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
