Pro Aqua NTS Scheduling & Control Automation
Budget: €250 – €750 EUR
Freelancer Job Post – IoT / Smart Home Integration Expert
Project Title
Automated Control & Scheduling System for Pro Aqua NTS Air Cleaning Device
⸻
Project Overview
I am selling the Pro Aqua NTS vacuum & air cleaning system, which includes a mobile application.
The current limitation is that the device can only be turned ON manually via the official app.
Goal:
Develop a backend-based solution that enables fully automated ON/OFF scheduling (timer-based operation), without modifying the original firmware or official application.
⸻
Core Requirements
We are looking for an IoT / Smart Device Integration Specialist who can:
• Analyze the communication protocol between the device and the official mobile app
• Reverse engineer the API / network communication
• Propose and implement a backend automation solution
⸻
Functional Goals
We want to achieve:
• Automated ON/OFF scheduling (timer-based operation)
• Optional: Smart Home integration (Google Home / Alexa / Home Assistant)
• Remote control possibility
• Optional: simple web interface or lightweight custom mobile UI
⸻
Possible Technical Approaches (open for suggestions)
• Reverse engineering the mobile app network API
• Building a middleware backend service
• Integration with:
• Google Home
• Home Assistant
• MQTT / Node-RED
• Custom REST API bridge
• Hardware fallback option:
• Smart relay / smart plug (only if software control is impossible)
⸻
Deliverables
• Technical feasibility analysis
• Proposed architecture
• Working prototype
• Deployment-ready solution
• Documentation for:
• Setup
• Maintenance
• Future scalability
⸻
Required Skills
• IoT system integration
• Reverse engineering mobile APIs
• Network protocol analysis (Wireshark, MITM tools)
• Embedded systems communication
• Smart Home ecosystems (Google Home, Home Assistant, MQTT)
• Backend development (Node.js / Python / Go preferred)
⸻
Nice to Have
• Experience with smart appliance hacking
• Prior work on reverse engineering IoT devices
• Experience building automation bridges for closed ecosystems
