This JUNG app works on the basis of Bluetooth Low Energy. It is therefore independent of WLAN or networks and thus guarantees secure handling. Bluetooth Low Energy makes the connection setup and data transmission between the smartphone and the JUNG LB Management both fast and convenient. The app enables the operation of device functions, the display of values and states as well as the creation of time programs. Settings can simply be carried out, transferred from device to device and imported from other installations – this makes the commissioning considerably easier. If the device configuration and the device coupling is disabled with a password, they are protected against unwanted access. Operation made easy: the lighting is switched on or off or dimmed to the required brightness at the touch of a finger. Blinds and shutters are raised or lowered or set in the required position. Even the slat angle can be easily adjusted. That brings convenience to daily life. Good to know: if updates are available for the Clever Config app, they can be downloaded by the customer automatically from the App Store. The software for LB Management Bluetooth devices can also be updated via the app.
