The Challenge
Canstar needed a branded mobile and backend control layer for permanent smart lighting installations, including presets, dimming, scheduling, and Wi-Fi device command routing.
What We Built
We built the React Native mobile app, Laravel backend, and web admin dashboard for Canstar Lights. Mobile commands routed through backend services to MQTT topics for ESP32-based Wi-Fi lighting systems. Digiflux scope was app, backend, and dashboard, not firmware or controller hardware.
How We Delivered
Built a React Native iOS/Android app for brightness, color, presets, favorites, and scheduling.
Delivered a Laravel backend and web admin dashboard for product and device control visibility.
Routed lighting commands from mobile through backend services onto MQTT topics for ESP32 Wi-Fi lighting systems.
Kept scope clear: app/backend/dashboard and MQTT command integration, not firmware, BLE, OTA, or Modbus work.
