A finely crafted app that works as the interface to your smart home, which can control your Bang & Olufsen audio and TV systems, move curtains, dim lights, view cameras and do much more. The BeoLiving app is the companion of the all new BeoLiving Intelligence controller in either Essential or Pro mode. With BeoLiving Intelligence Essential you can integrate your Bang & Olufsen products. An upgrade to BeoLiving Intelligence Pro elevates the BeoLiving app allowing further integration to home automation devices like Lutron, Nest, Ecobee, KNX, Philips Hue, among many others. An extra added feature is remote access, meaning full command outside your home WiFi network. The BeoLiving app allows you to directly setup and control products as well as define user customizable scenes so you can control, with just a single tap, various devices at once. Requirements: - BeoLiving Intelligence controller in the same network as your iOS device. - Bang & Olufsen products connected via the BeoLink network. Please contact your Bang & Olufsen dealer for details on installation and compatibility.
