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.

WireMind Pro is a field-first electrical calculator built around the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000) and AS/NZS 3008.1.1 cable selection — including the 2025 edition. It's made for sparkies on the tools: large, glove-friendly controls, a sunlight-readable display, and answers in seconds — fully offline, on the job site, with no signal. Every number and every citation comes from a deterministic calculation engine — never guessed. An optional on-device assistant only turns your plain-language request into calculator inputs and explains results in readable terms; it never invents a value or a clause. Everything runs on your iPhone: no account, no internet, nothing leaves the device. WHAT IT DOES • Voltage drop — AC and DC, with operating-temperature and reactance refinement • Conductor area, Ohm's law, power and unit conversions • Cable sizing, maximum demand, protective-device coordination, earthing (adiabatic), conduit fill — you enter the value from your own copy of AS/NZS 3008, the app does the derating and the math (no licensed table is bundled — private and licence-clean) • Three ways in: guided forms, a fast keypad, or just ask • Save calculations to projects; export clean, AS/NZS-cited PDFs • Pick your edition: AS/NZS 3008.1.1 2025 / 3000 2018 / 2007 / 2000 / 1991 PRICING Try every feature free for 14 days. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks the app for good — no subscription, no recurring charges. WireMind Pro is a calculation aid. It does not replace the AS/NZS 3000 standard, a licensed electrician's judgement, or your electrical safety regulator.
