The App gives control of any room, whether it be lighting or curtain/blind control. Access to all available rooms, scenes and channels, all of which can be named for easy identification. This App also provides support for Rako's new colour features, enabling users to control colour temperature and also supports single channel colour commands within their rooms. The App can be used with existing wireless systems, the new wired network or combined systems. No configuration by the user is required, all information is stored within the Rako HUB. System requirements: To allow the iPhone to communicate with the network a RK-HUB (for use with wireless-only systems) or WK-HUB (for wired or hybrid wireless systems) needs to be installed along with a wireless router for the Wi-Fi link with the iPhone™. The HUB needs to be uploaded with the RASOFT programming file of the project. The file can either be an existing project file, if available, or created using the Rasoft programming software (included) which requires a PC running Windows XP or Vista.
