With the new Zoning 2.0 application and the Netbox device, connect your multi zones air conditioning system from any mobile device. Remotely access your installation and turn it on before you get home or reach the office, or make sure you haven't forgotten the air conditioner on. And if you are one of those who like to plan, establish weekly or temporary schedules, you can schedule temperature levels for every period of each day. It's that easy, all from the palm of your hand. You can configure all your Zoning installations from the same device, add and remove users, assign permissions according to the role of each of them.
