Dear Customers! We've created an app for you, that's going to let you manage electrical power of your devices from light bulbs, network devices and servers to high power cryptocurrency miners from anywhere All that you need to start is install the app and connect to your RPCM. (If you still don't have one - you can get it at http://rpcm.pro) Here's what you can do with it: - Manage inlets and outlets and get information about power consumption - Identify RPCM with sound of beeper or by blinking of indicators on display panels. You can identify the whole device or particular inlet or outlet. This is very convenient when you are trying to find device out of many or explaining someone remotely which device or outlet you want them to do something about. - You will see indication of outlet states within the app - You can discover all your RPCMs on local network via Bonjour - You can monitor your RPCMs in RPCM.CLOUD service In next versions we're going to implement... well... you'll find out soon ;-) We'll be delighted to get your feedback!
