GAYA is the new PESS system that guarantees the protection of your premises and people from intrusions, fires, and more. It can also manage automations such as opening gates, doors, shutters, and much more. Using the Gaya app, you can program and manage the system either via cloud connection from anywhere in the world or locally via Bluetooth. In addition to programming and managing the system, thanks to the cloud connection, you can receive PUSH notifications for every event that occurs on the system. In addition to PUSH notifications, you can receive calls with pre-recorded voice messages or text messages by installing the optional 4G GSM module. This module also provides a backup cloud connection over a 4G network. Therefore, any malfunctions on your home Wi-Fi network won't be a problem; the control panel will automatically switch from Wi-Fi to 4G. In addition to Gaya's built-in Wi-Fi, it can also be connected to the cloud via Ethernet with the optional ETH24 module. In this case, we can assign different networks to the Wi-Fi and wired portions (wired network on the home fiber connection and Wi-Fi on a backup 4G router or another network). Gaya can manage up to 80 FLYK PESS series devices, as well as 2 wired inputs and 4 relay outputs, one of which is dedicated to internal/external sirens.
