Thinka Setup is the companion app for the Thinka smart-home bridge. It’s the fastest way to bring your Z-Wave and KNX devices into Apple HomeKit and keep them in sync as your home grows. WHAT THINKA SETUP DOES • Discovers every Thinka on your Wi-Fi automatically — no IP addresses, no manual configuration. • Pairs your Thinka into the HomeKit home of your choice, using Apple’s secure pairing flow. • Syncs the Thinka’s internal accessory list with HomeKit so all your Z-Wave and KNX devices appear natively in the Home app and Siri. • Adds new Z-Wave devices with SmartStart by scanning their QR code — no controller inclusion mode, no walking back and forth. • Manages multiple Thinkas from one place, whether you have one bridge in an apartment or a fleet across a building. BUILT FOR IOS 26 Thinka Setup has been rebuilt from the ground up in SwiftUI and Swift 6, with Apple’s modern concurrency model end-to-end. Discovery, pairing, and sync all run as first-class async streams — the UI stays responsive even while a large home is being synced for the first time. REMOTE SUPPORT, ON YOUR TERMS Need a hand from Thinka support? A single toggle opens a secure, authenticated tunnel so a Thinka engineer can inspect your bridge — and the same toggle closes it when you’re done. Nothing is ever left open in the background. VACATION MODE Heading away? Enable Vacation Mode from the app and Thinka will simulate presence for you. Turn it off from anywhere with one tap when you get home. PRIVACY Thinka Setup talks to your Thinka on your local network and to Apple HomeKit on your device. Your accessory data does not leave your home. See our privacy policy at https://thinka.eu/privacy. REQUIREMENTS • iOS 26 or later • A Thinka Z-Wave or KNX bridge on the same Wi-Fi network • An Apple ID with iCloud + HomeKit enabled

CUBEVISION 2 explained by Bastian Niemann: https://youtu.be/8g811ubUzoo AUTOMATICALLY CREATED VISUALISATIONS. With the help of the «Quick Setup» the configuration can be done in only three steps: 1. create building structure, 2. select background images and 3. add control elements. The visualization automatically generates itself from these data. It couldn’t be easier and faster. MAKES YOU INDEPENDENT. WITH ADDICTION FACTOR. This visualization impresses with a sophisticated, consistent design and is always generated from the same configuration data. UNIQUE OPERATING CONCEPT. Your building is represented in the form of a cube. By sliding to the right or left you navigate through rooms, by sliding up or down through the floors. Regardless of the visualization level you are in, CUBEVISION always provides you with the perfect depiction of the desired functions. CREATE SCENES AND SMARTHOME FUNCTIONS DIRECTLY IN THE VISUALISATION. The brand new Smart Function Creator makes it easy and intuitive to create smart home functions. Add any elements of the visualization to a scene by dragging and dropping and use clocks and events as triggers. Connect several of these triggers with AND or OR links. Creating smart home functions is easy with CUBEVISION 2.
