PCS PulseWorx vs TP

PCS PulseWorx is a companion app for the PulseWorx Gateway house controller. Installed in a UPB (Universal Powerline Bus) installation, the PulseWorx Gateway allow access to the installation remotely and once connected to view the status of all UPB devices and control them. Control is by simple “tap on” and “tap off” directly from the room icons display. A long tap on a device icon opens a control panel specifically for that device. For a dimmable device a slider lets you set the level. For a keypad a virtual keypad is in the popup to allow “pushing” a key to carry out the same action as when pressing keys on the physical keypad. Additional, with this app you can adjust the configuration autonomous scheduler in the Gateway and select from one of the four schedule to be active. For a video of how to setup and use the app, see here: Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTgfWjN1jVY Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQUaBZK5t3c Since this app works with hardware you must have installed in the UPB installation, see http://www.pcslighting.com/ in the PulseWorx section for information on configuring and purchasing that hardware.

Omada app is used for configuring and managing your Omada devices. You can change settings, monitor the network status and manage clients, all from the convenience of a smart phone or tablet. STANDALONE MODE Standalone mode is designed for managing EAPs or wireless routers right away without having to spend time configuring a controller. Each device is managed separately. This mode is recommended for networks which only have a few EAPs (or wireless routers) and require only basic functions, such as home network. CONTROLLER MODE Controller mode works together with a software Omada Controller or a hardware Cloud Controller, and is suitable for managing multiple devices (including gateways, switches and EAPs) centrally. Controller mode allows you to configure and automatically synchronize unified settings to the devices in the network. Compared to Standalone Mode, more configuration options are available and supports to manage more devices in Controller mode. You can manage devices in Controller mode in two ways: via Local Access or Cloud Access. In Local Access mode, the Omada app can manage devices when the Controller and your mobile device are in the same subnet; in Cloud Access mode, the Omada app can access the Controller across the internet so you can manage your devices wherever you are. Compatibility List: The controller mode currently supports hardware cloud controllers (OC200 V1, OC300 V1), software Omada Controller v3.0.2 and above. (To experience more features support and more stable services, we recommend that you upgrade your controller to a new version). Standalone Mode currently supports the following models (with latest firmware): EAP245 (EU)/(US) V1 EAP225 (EU)/(US) V3/V2/V1 EAP115 (EU)/(US) V4/V2/V1 EAP110 (EU)/(US) V4/V2/V1 EAP225-Outdoor (EU)/(US) V1 EAP110-Outdoor (EU)/(US) V3/V1 EAP115-Wall (EU) V1 EAP225-Wall (EU) V2 ER706W (EU)/(US) V1/V1.6 ER706W-4G (EU)/(US) V1/V1.6 *The latest firmware is required and can be downloaded from https://www.tp-link.com/omada_compatibility_list. More devices supported by the app are coming!
