Die LUPUS Cloud App ist die App zur neuen, sicheren IoT-Plattform LUPUS Cloud von LUPUS-Electronics. Mit LUPUS Cloud können Sie Sensoren wie den LUPUS Mobilfunkrauchmelder einrichten, verwalten sowie Alarme und Mitteilungen des LUPUS Mobilfunkrauchmelders empfangen. Der patentierte LUPUS Mobilfunkrauchmelder ist eine Weltneuheit – ein smarter Rauchmelder, der direkt über das Mobilfunknetz sicher mit der LUPUS Cloud IoT Plattform vernetzt ist. Der Rauchmelder entspricht der DIN 14676-1, Verfahren C, besitzt also eine vollautomatische Fernwartung ab dem Zeitpunkt der Inbetriebnahme die in der Regel alle 24 Stunden ausgeführt wird. Dank Mobilfunkverbindung ist kein Gateway oder Router notwendig und trotzdem besitzt er alle Vorteile eines smarten Mobilfunk-Rauchmelders. Er ist äußerst kosteneffizient und dank der LUPUS One-Click-Technik schnell zu installieren. Zur Aktivierung wird einfach der Knopf am Sensor gedrückt und der QR-Code mit der LUPUS-App gescannt. Alarme und Mitteilungen werden fortan sofort auf die Smartphones der App-Nutzer geschickt. Die 10-jährige Batterielaufzeit ermöglicht den Nutzern einen langen sicheren und sorgenfreien Betrieb. LUPUS Cloud ist DSGVO-konform, verwendet die höchsten Sicherheitsstandards und wird ausschließlich auf deutschen Servern betrieben.
