  Architecture

• The main application uses platform directives to load platform specific qml application. Android and IOS platform share the same qml application code.
• The application launches a user management module with login/signup/forgot-password features with local storage of users database.
• On successful-login, the room module launches with room controls(actuators and sensors) and usage pages.
• Persistent values are saved in the settings module.
• Controls interact with the driver layer through a driver service(QML - creatable element)
• The driver layer has the least amount of Qt and can be swapped with HAL code of the deployed platform.
