Nerves Flutter - Digit | Code BEAM America 2025

This talk was recorded at Code BEAM America in March 2025. If you’re curious about our upcoming event, check https://codebebeamamerica.com

At SmartRent we’ve deployed Nerves powered devices into living spaces across the country.

From Smart Home Hubs to Thermostats, we’ve rolled our own hardware built for the BEAM. But we had to face one of our toughest challenges yet: Consumer-Facing UI!

How would we build a user interface that was responsive, intuitive, animated and extensible? How would we meet the expectations of users who have used devices like modern-day phones and tablets? How would we do this all on a device that’s low power and inexpensive, while also foregoing the standard “just ship a web browser” solution?

The answer came from Flutter. Google’s UI framework written in Dart. It ended up being a powerful pairing.

Let’s explore the development journey of how we built an entire Thermostat and Smart Home Hub UI for our Nerves devices. And how this will help to kickstart the “Nerves Flutter” initiative within the Nerves community.
