Thanks to Smart Gateway APP the management of the home automation system is simple and intuitive, with the ability to remotely control lighting, blinds and shutters, scenarios, temperature and humidity in every room, anti-intrusion system and video cameras. The new Gewiss APP also allows you to check the energy consumption of your home at any time, as well as setting timers, logic functions, load control and irrigation. In order to work, the APP requires the presence of a Gewiss Smart Gateway connected to the home automation system and the payment of an annual fee. The APP configuration is made using the online GEWISS IoT Configurator software, which can be accessed visiting gewiss.com in the "Services/Software/Smart Gateway APP" section.”

About

Lidar Larry

Features
Read full description

Lidar Larry turns your iPhone into a room scanner. Point your device at a space, walk the perimeter slowly, and the app builds a 3D model with walls, doors, windows, and furniture in place. SCAN ONE ROOM OR A WHOLE HOUSE Capture a single bedroom, kitchen, or office—or keep going and merge multiple rooms into one house scan. Reopen saved scans anytime from your library, rename them, or split a house back into individual rooms when you need to. MEASUREMENTS YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE See wall lengths, door and window sizes, and furniture footprints in metric or imperial. Switch units with one tap. The 2D floor plan shows dimensions right on the drawing so you do not have to guess from a static image. EXPLORE IN 3D View your scan in dollhouse or walkthrough mode. Orbit around the space, check proportions, and get a feel for the layout before you move furniture or start a renovation. EXPORT AND SHARE Send USDZ models for AR Quick Look, save floor plan images, or export styled room photos from corner and top-down angles. Standard quality is fast and light on memory; photoreal mode adds richer lighting and textures when you want something presentation-ready. BUILT FOR LiDAR DEVICES Lidar Larry requires an iPhone with a LiDAR scanner (iPhone 12 Pro and later Pro models). Scanning works best in good lighting when you move steadily and cover every wall and corner. Whether you are measuring for a remodel, documenting a rental, or just keeping a record of a space, Lidar Larry keeps the process simple: scan, measure, export.
