switchButler is the official ELBRO AG app that allows you to configure, manage and control Butler devices easily and quickly. With just a few taps, you turn a module into a reliable remote monitoring and control system: receive alerts via SMS or email, trigger functions remotely even with a call, and always keep track of your installations wherever you are. The app is designed for quick on-site configuration via Bluetooth Low Energy. Once paired with the device, you can set up inputs and outputs, define thresholds and conditions, customize message texts, manage authorized numbers and choose notification methods. Relays can be controlled remotely by SMS or call, while event logs and periodic status messages provide a clear overview at all times. switchButler adapts to many scenarios: electrical panels, water systems, greenhouses, pumps, gates, technical rooms, server rooms or industrial machines. It is the ideal solution for installers, maintenance staff and facility managers who need to reduce response times, increase safety and keep control of unattended installations. Combining ease of use with advanced functions, the app takes only minutes to set up. The interface is intuitive and straightforward, commands are clear and require no specific training. switchButler works with both small installations and more complex systems, offering flexibility and security with controlled access through authorized numbers, event tracking and customizable parameters. To use it, a compatible ELBRO device with a SIM card enabled for SMS is required (voice needed if you want call activation). With switchButler you keep full control of your systems: get alerts when needed, act remotely and manage everything directly from your smartphone with a practical, fast and professional app.
