With the Belimo BEhive app, you can manage your Belimo BEhive living comfort system and control the living climate in your home. The system regulates the living room temperature allowing different ventilation levels to be set for your home. The App shows the current temperature in the living room. The temperatures of the other living spaces can be adjusted relatively to the living room. The system's variable ventilation can take place manually or automatically. Log your absences and save energy. On your return, the familiar room climate is restored. You can also simply invite more residents, family members or friends so they can similarly control the living comfort.

The W-BACnet app has arrived! Upgrade firmware for LumenRadio W-BACnet devices by connecting to and upgrading the LumenRadio Gateway in the network through the app. In the Network map you will find a system overview where you can see signal strength, edit names of wireless nodes as well as seeing the health of the RS485 bus including which BACnet MS/TP address that is connected to that wireless node. You can also connect to any node in the network and change their name (up to 20 characters). The W-BACnet app requires W-BACnet firmware 3.1.1 and above, which can be downloaded from the LumenRadio support webpage. Note that you need to install FW 3.1.1 or above on the gateway from the nRF connect app to enable the functionality. It is also required to have at least 3.0.0 or above on all nodes in the network. You will need to update all nodes individually if they are on version 2.2.3. This will be the last time this is required. All future updates can be done by either this app or from the nRF connect app.
