Nerves ❤️ Flutter
summary
SmartRent ports Flutter/Dart UIs onto Nerves Linux hubs, shipping a touchscreen thermostat/hub (Fusion3) that runs locally and controls Z-Wave devices; the stack uses Sony’s embedder with prebuilt artifacts, a custom nerves_flutter_support runtime and an example firmware, and moves RPC from GraphQL to protobuf/gRPC for lower latency. Performance hits include 60 fps on Pi5/Pi4 and CI speedups that reduced build time from 1h55m to 40m. Production footprint already includes thousands of Nerves devices in the field.
