Flutter Dev Needed

[u/woohook]

I am trying to create a custom apple or android app to monitor trailer hub temperatures and maybe eventually tire pressure on my boat trailer with my phone. I am still in the early stages but due to only having a work computer, loading developer software may be in the gray area of whats acceptable. My app will hopefully include, left hub temp, right hub temp, deviation on temps. system voltage. color coded indicators for different temperature ranges, and push notifications for high temps and system failures. If someone is interested in helping me out that would be superb. DM me and I will link you in. Still early in the development process but its a pretty simple system.

This is definitely doable. I build custom Android apps and would be interested in helping. Once you have the hardware/data source figured out, we can build the app with live temperature monitoring, alerts, and notifications. Happy to chat DM you.

Let me make one thing clear real fast. I am more looking for a hobbyist that likes creating stuff. I dont think I would be interested in paying someone for an app that only myself would be using. We do have app developers at my job that I could reach out to if I wanted to go that route. If its going to cost me money, I will find a way to learn it and do it myself. After all, I am building my own system as opposed to purchasing one that is already on the market.

I also wanted to point out, I have no idea how hard it is to build a simple app. It may be painstaking and take hours. I assumed that someone that plays with app dev software alot could throw something together in an evening or two, so my ask may be a little farfetched.

Is it correct to assume that a lot of different users would be using this app and looking at their own dashboard and their own environment of temperature hubs or is it just for one user?

[u/woohook → u/appbuilderdirect]

It is just for me. Currently. There is a chance I build several system for families and friends. I dont see this being a business venture. There is already a market for systems. however, I wanted to attempt to build my own, learn something new, and tailor it for my own needs

I sent you a DM

Let discuss your project may be I will add more value in your big vission

Cool project! One suggestion while you're still in the early stages: I'd spend some time defining what "abnormal" looks like before building the UI.

I believe it would most likely just be temperature ranges, as well as loss of communication to the sensors. It is a pretty basic system. Currently I have it working with randomized temps since I dont have the temp sensors in just yet. Once you connect to the broadcasting wifi, you go to the controllers IP address and it pulls up a web page that basically lists all of the data, temp left hub, temp right hub, temp difference between hubs, arrows that adjust the hubs temp trend as in rising, falling, or stable. as well as the rssi level between the controller and the phone that is connected to it. It works well, only currently I either have to A. lose internet connection on my personal phone if I am viewing the readings, or B, use my old phone as basically a monitor. Honestly, thats not that big of a deal, however, push notifications and a bluetooth connection with an app would be awesome. 1 cell phone, push notifications when temps exceed a certain degree. etc. the app is just for convenience. I currently have a system that does basically what I need it to do.

thanks for all of the replies. It has been a fun project so far and I have learned alot. I have ordered hardware and am going to beta test everything once I get the system put together. I believe the first version I will connect via wifi and open a local website that will display my info. But an app would be the route I go for the future I believe. I will reach back out to everyone that has DM'd me once I have the system somewhat up and operational. I still have alot to learn abot these sort of things. Give me a couple of weeks at most.
