Read full description

WiOO is a free app for managing your Apple HomeKit-compatible WiOO devices. Requirements: β€’ 1 (one) WiOO Master Switch is required for every 11 WiOO Switches β€’ Internet access β€’ iPhone/iPad with the latest version of iOS β€’ (OPTIONAL) AppleTV (4th generation or later), iPad, HomePod, or HomePod mini, set up as a home hub for away-from-home and automation control After installing the WiOO devices in your home, the app will recognize the first WiOO Master Switch and prompt you to pair it with the Apple Home app via the HomeKit code. Once the first WiOO Master Switch is paired, you can add up to 11 WiOO Switches. You can then install and pair additional WiOO Master Switches, each capable of controlling 11 more WiOO Switches, allowing for an extensive and scalable network. For the initial configuration (preferably done with the professional who installed the WiOO devices), the app's Wizard function guides you step-by-step through setting up the entire electrical system. The app's three menus allow you to: Device: Control all devices in the house, organized by room, and view settings for each device, including the three keys and associated Mood. Mood: Create your own Mood libraryβ€”a set of colors for the buttons and the Halo that can be customized to match your home's style or used with HomeKit Scenes for different occasions (Movie night, Dinner with friends, etc.) or times of day (Good morning, Good night, All out, etc.). Circuit: List all the lights in the house, organized by room, and modify the previously created virtual system at any time.

Read full description

Neeos allows users to register their own account to which they can assign their tanks and control them at any time and place thanks to the dedicated cloud. Each tank can be composed of several synchronised ceiling lights. It will be possible to control all lighting parameters both locally and remotely. In the APP there are numerous scenarios for managing your own reef with the possibility of customisation. The creation and export/import of new customised scenarios is also possible. The original scenarios provided by GNC are configurable in their factory state and therefore always available even if modified by the user. The scenarios are self-adapting according to the customer's needs. The algorithm allows all times to be automatically parameterised when preferred sunrise and sunset are chosen. There are extraordinary effects such as clouds, lightning and live controls. Operating temperature control of all ceiling lights in the system, local time synchronisation and permanent storage of configurations. A 2.4 Ghz wifi home network is required. [:mav: 1.3.2]
