Remote control your RF Solutions receivers from a smart device! RIoT Control Pro allows the end user to operate their RF Solutions receivers from anywhere via Wi-Fi. Once your RIoT Hub or System is connected to a local Wi-Fi from the RIoT WiFi Wizard app, pair your smart device to your RIoT Hub or System and start remote switching. Using RIoT Control Pro, you can monitor the status of your relays in real time. This means you can see if an output has already been operated - useful if you intend on operating something you cannot see. You can also create your own remote control buttons and name these based on what it is switching. For example ‘Outdoor Wall Lights’ or ‘Front Gate’.
