The problem
IoT Control Apps
Problem
Static loops that wear out fast
A smart home or building control app sits open for hours in a living room or on a wall panel. A short looped track starts to grate, and users mute the sound or turn it off in settings.
With Mubert
The realtime stream generates music continuously from 150+ moods and themes, so nothing loops. Your app can change intensity mid-stream, for example when a scene switches from evening to night.
Problem
Music that ignores device state
Control apps run on events: a scene activates, a sensor trips, a timer ends. Pre-recorded tracks can't follow that. Product teams end up cross-fading files by hand, and the result feels disconnected from what the home is doing.
With Mubert
WebRTC streaming has sub-second latency, so your app can raise or lower intensity the moment a device event fires. For fixed cues, generate a track from a mood, genre or BPM, from 15 seconds up to 25 minutes.
Problem
Licensing every user's playback
An IoT app reaches thousands of homes, each with its own account. Tracking who played what, and whether the license covers it, becomes paperwork nobody on a small product team wants to own.
With Mubert
Your backend creates a customer for each user, with its own customer-id and access-token. Their usage counts against your license. Check the plan table first, since sub-licensing and monetized content vary by plan.

IoT Control Apps
How it fits your product
Music in an IoT control app plays while someone adjusts a thermostat, checks cameras or runs a lighting scene, so it has to stay out of the way. Choose slow ambient electronic, soft pads and light synth pulses at 70 to 90 BPM, with no sharp percussion that competes with tap sounds or voice prompts. Loopable or endless audio works best, since sessions have no fixed length.
For a control app, the stream mode usually fits best. Your backend creates a customer for each user and passes the customer-id and access-token to the app, so their usage counts against your license. Start a WebRTC stream when the dashboard opens, then change intensity as the user switches between idle, active and alert views. Use tracks for short setup or onboarding screens.

FAQ
IoT Control Apps
What kind of music works in an IoT control app?
Slow, low-energy music works best, usually ambient or minimal electronic, because it plays under taps, notifications and voice prompts. Mubert can generate it from a text prompt, genre, mood or BPM, and a realtime stream can change intensity while the user moves between dashboard views.
How do I give each user of my IoT app their own music?
Your backend creates a customer for each user through the Mubert API, which returns a customer-id and an access-token. The app uses those credentials to request music, and each user's usage counts against your license. Like and dislike feedback can then personalize what that user hears.
