HyperVisu

HyperVisu turns the building automation system you already own into an app you actually enjoy using. Every light, blind, thermostat, meter and camera on one screen, updating live. IMPORTANT: HyperVisu is the companion app for a HyperVisu server. One has to be installed and commissioned on your network β usually by your integrator β before the app can do anything. This is not a standalone app. EVERY DEVICE, ONE APP β’ Lights β switch, dim, tunable white and full RGB colour β’ Blinds and shutters β exact position, presets and slat tilt β’ Heating and cooling β setpoint, comfort/standby/night modes, weekly programs and boost β’ Air conditioning and ventilation β’ Cameras and video door entry β’ Door locks and gates β’ Meters, sensors and analogue values β’ EV charger β live power, current limit and session history β’ Audio, including Sonos playback, volume and source selection ORGANISED THE WAY YOU THINK Browse by room or by category. Pin what you touch most as favourites. Build your own dashboards β an energy view, a family view, a security view β with exactly the cards you want on them. ENERGY YOU CAN ACT ON Watch solar production, battery charge, grid import and export, and what each appliance is drawing. Live, and as trends over 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or 12 months. Follow hourly electricity prices where your supplier publishes them, so you can run the washing machine when power is cheap. SECURITY Arm and disarm your alarm from the app, behind a PIN. Check cameras, door locks and presence at a glance. SCENES AND AUTOMATION Trigger a scenario like Good Morning or Movie Night with one tap. Run automations on time, sunrise and sunset, temperature, presence or any device value β and pause or resume them whenever you like. MAKE IT YOURS Four themes β Braise, Graphite, Sable and Glass β five accent colours, and light or dark following your schedule or your system. Rename devices, pick icons, reorder rooms and set a text size that suits you. BUILT FOR EVERY SCREEN The same app runs on your phone, on a 10-inch wall tablet and on a 4-inch wall panel, with a layout fitted to each one. A panel by the door, a tablet in the hall, your phone everywhere else. WORKS WITH YOUR INSTALLATION HyperVisu speaks what your building already speaks: KNX, Modbus TCP, MQTT, BACnet/IP, HTTP, raw TCP/UDP, Home Assistant and Sonos. Your integrator wires it up once; you just use it. ON YOUR NETWORK, NOT SOMEONE ELSE'S Your system runs on your own hardware, in your own building, and the app talks to it directly over your local network. Remote access is optional and travels through an encrypted tunnel. No third party holds a copy of your home. HyperVisu is developed by Elausys.

HOS Smart Home KNX EIB's advantage is device support (5 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.6 vs 16.0). On ads there is nothing between them.
