You can easily change settings and never have to fiddle with the iPad to enter any data – just use your created project and profiles! The new “proServ” Controller is the worldwide first device that allows the configuration of the user interface only with ETS. No Editor or additional configuration file is necessary. The configuration data are stored locally on the proServ Controller and are read directly by the App. New features: - sort zones and activities by drag and drop - add global and/or local favorites - support of iBeacons for zone and/or light scene selection - skin selection by RGB-Color-Picker - control in Portrait-Mode - improved connectivity for “proServ”, V2 and V3 - multi “proServ” support Our “proServ” now supports timers, data logging and email notifications when used with our free of charge Synology extension.

The generated access key is stored in “proServ” via the ETS. As soon as the iKNiX 2 App is updated, the installation can be controlled and queried remotely with the authorised rights.
