Our app for recliners come with multiple benefits ranging from storing favourite positions, setting up in-app payment for certain features, and both seeing the battery status and getting warnings. Not forgetting the easy customisation.
A broad user-interface with many possibilities
We see great opportunities in using an app as the convenient in-pocket hand control. For most of us, the smartphone is a permanent fixture in our lives. We know that many of us bring it almost everywhere. This is also the reason why an app is a very convenient way to adjust comfort furniture.
It goes without saying that a control for a recliner has to be simple and easy to use. However, we also found that customers demand simplicity while simultaneously demanding multiple convenient features at their fingertips. This duality means that the bigger user-interface in an app can kill two birds with one stone – simplicity and usability. In our app we present multiple features while maintaining a simple and manageable control unit.
Introducing premium features
It simply makes sense to make sure that both the consumer and manufacturer benefit from the control option. In the LINAK® My Recliner™ app , we introduce premium features such as a visible battery status. You can also store and name your own favourite positions. On a physical hand control or control panel, these features would mean various extra buttons but in an app they can be easily hidden away.
How does an app control the furniture?
To connect the app and system, we utilise Bluetooth® integration in the system to enable a wireless connection from the actuators to not only a hand control, but also an app.
In other words, an app provides a good overview of features in a platform you probably already carry with you everywhere – your mobile phone. It is convenient, practical, and just makes sense.
What does an app give us that a regular hand control does not?
