Design and Implementation of a Mobile Application for IoT-Based Autoclave Management
Тодор Тодоров, Valentin Tonkov · 2025
This paper presents a case study on the integration of embedded IoT hardware with a modern Android application, demonstrated through the development of a compact autoclave system for small-scale food sterilization. The device is controlled by an ESP8266-based module and communicates securely with a Kotlin-based Android app via MQTT using HiveMQ. The app incorporates advanced Android design patterns such as coroutines, LiveData, Navigation UI, and DataStore. Each device is uniquely addressable and fully configurable from the mobile interface. The work highlights Android’s role as a powerful interface for managing embedded IoT systems.
