Airtender
Take your kitchen and bar creations to the next level
Airtender is a smart plug-and-play air and vacuum device for the kitchen. Zooma developed a handy advanced "remote control" app that allows the device to be controlled via a bluetooth connection. Set the desired mode, update the firmware, read information, watch product videos or view matching accessories. Prepare delicious dishes, aerate your fine wines optimally and create impressive cocktails with Airtender!
How Airtender works
The Airtenders is a small, smart and modern device which has three different modes: 'High Powered Air', 'Next Level Vacuum' and 'Custom Creative Mode'. With the High Powered Air mode, you can use air pressure control to aerate wine, fill cupcakes and mix cocktails, for example. With the Next Level Vacuum mode, you can keep food fresh for longer, vacuum marinade and preserve wine, among other things. The third mode, Custom Creative Mode, allows you to create and save your own settings.
Zooma developed an accompanying app that makes it easy to operate this device. In the app, not only can the three modes be selected, but information can also be viewed on what all you can do with Airtender.
Features and challenges
Nice to mention is that the entire app (including views and navigation) is custom built, everything exactly to Airtender's wishes. The communication between the app and the device works 'mirrored', this means that you see exactly the same thing happening on the app as on the device. The communication between the app and the device is via bluetooth. We built a software update that allows you to send real-time updates to the device via bluetooth: very easy!
A great project and we are proud of the result! Oh and also nice to know (for the nerds among us :-)) is that we used coroutines, which makes asynchronous programming within the language 'Kotlin' much easier.
