Smart Home (Garmin)
2026- Context
Personal project.
- Problem
Personal curiosity: could I control the home lights from my watch?
- Solution
A native Garmin (Connect IQ) app with two buttons that turn two rooms' lights on and off. Built in an afternoon with no prior knowledge of Monkey C or the SDK, using AI as a copilot to write the code, debug errors, and deploy to the real device.
- Result
A working app on the watch, from "idea to running" in ~3 hours.
- Role
Design, product decisions, and development (with AI as copilot).
- Tech stack
- Monkey C
- Connect IQ SDK
- AI (Claude)
