Con AxelCloud gestisci la tua sicurezza e il tuo comfort liberamente e in mobilità. E se hai lasciato la tua App disattiva nel tuo dispositivo riceverai comunque e prontamente le notifiche in push; se c’è qualche evento di rilievo che sta accadendo al tuo sistema (un allarme ad esempio) potrai aprire l’App e gestire immediatamente l’evento al meglio, come se tu fossi in loco. AxelCloud ti permette di gestire dal tuo dispositivo mobile il tuo sistema di allarme e le funzionalità domotiche abbinate, ovunque tu sia. Con AxelCloud puoi accendere e spegnere il tuo sistema, in ogni sua modalità programmata, puoi parzializzare aree, puoi escludere e includere zone. Puoi attivare comandi, eseguire funzionalità singole e anche complesse quando legate alle macroistruzioni agevolative. Puoi accendere e spegnere luci o gruppi di luci, attivare e disattivare carichi elettrici, aprire cancelli motorizzati, azionare irrigazione, accendere insegne, azionare motori e non solo. Semplicemente, al tocco di un dito, a distanza il tuo sistema è a tua disposizione, sempre e dovunque tu sia. Perché AxelCloud possa funzionare devi avere connessione alla rete in aree WiFi o in modalità Dati 3G o 4G con il tuo dispositivo e naturalmente il tuo sistema dovrà essere basato su una centrale Axel compatibile; visita il sito www.axelweb.com per verificare se il tuo sistema è compatibile. Dovrai aver registrato il tuo sistema-centrale Axel accedendo con username e password valida al profilo che avrai creato sul portale AxelCloud. Vai al portale www.axel-cloud.it per registrarti e registrare il tuo sistema. La tua registrazione sul portale ti consentirà di gestire più impianti che ti appartengono. Il sistema si occuperà non solo della funzionalità di interazione cloud con la App, ma anche gestirà per te in modo automatico il tuo DNS, dovesse essere di tipo dinamico (DynDNS).

The new SUPERVISOR app allows you to control your smart buildings from smartphones and tablets quickly and intuitively, both when you are inside them and remotely, thanks to the integration with the supervision webservers and the Domotica Labs cloud platform. Do you have a KNX or MyHOME home automation system, or a technological system based on one or more of the numerous protocols with which we are compatible? Have your trusted installer install and configure one of our supervision webservers - IKON SERVER or PIKO - and take complete control of it thanks to this app. SUPERVISOR allows you to simultaneously manage more than one home automation system, thanks to the possibility of storing the access data of multiple web servers; the app automatically establishes the best connection (whether local via WIFI or remotely) based on where you are. Thanks to integration with the Domotica Labs cloud platform, SUPERVISOR allows access to the various systems without any intervention on the internet router. Furthermore, it is possible to control the most frequently used functions directly from the main screen of the app, without necessarily having to connect to the system itself. SUPERVISOR is also an indispensable tool for installers and system integrators, who through this app can check the correct functioning status of all the home automation systems they are responsible for in terms of maintenance, anticipating their customers' support requests, and offering an cutting-edge service saving time and optimizing travel.
