Table 5 Smart home user interfaces that had been used by the participants before the test and their comments on the user interfaces

From: A generic user interface for energy management in smart homes

The user interface description

Comment

A user interface that can show all the states of the apartment.

At the beginning I was satisfied, but the more I used the interface, the more I felt that it missed some advanced features, e.g. time scheduled / event-based tasks.

It is an app to control the light in our home.

The app is really slow and not working sufficiently.

The sonos sound system

I am very happy with it.

Interfaces for heat regulation and air/ventilation system
