U-Control is the new Bft app which allows you to control one or more “Ultra” category automation systems equipped with the B-Eba Wi-Fi expansion card. Via an Internet connection, you can open/close/stop the automation directly from their smartphone or tablet, reading the status (open/closed or opening position) in real time, wherever you are. To open the gate, you will no longer need to carry a remote control with you, simply use your smartphone, which is always close to hand! Wherever you are, it will therefore be possible to control the gate, for example letting the gardener in to look after the lawn while you’re on holiday. With the GPS function, you can automatically open the automations whenever you approach, by setting the desired proximity distance on your smartphone. This function is extremely useful, as it means that you will find the gate already open when you arrive, without having to wait for it to open. Motorcyclists in particular will love this, above all when it's raining! By setting the scenarios, you can also open or close all the automations in the home at a simple click. When you leave home, for example, you can close all the entrances, including non-Bft products, via a connection to the Clonix card the B-Eba Wi-Fi is installed on. Special attention has also been paid to easily sharing the functions with other users. Once you have installed and configured the application and the B-Eba Wi-Fi, you can authorise other users to control the automations, simply by sharing a unequivocal, self-installing link with them. The operation is completed in just a few clicks, without having to configure any new technical parameters! Where required, the Administrator can instantly revoke the access authorisations granted to “guest” users with a simple click. Cyber security is guaranteed by an authentication server on the Cloud protecting all B-Eba Wi-Fi cards, making them invisible and inviolable from the Internet. For correct operation, the B-Eba Wi-Fi card must be covered by the home Wi-Fi network with access to the Internet. Where required, a range extender, widely available on the market, can be used.
