The new Horizone Manager app allows quick and intuitive control of your smart buildings via smartphones and tablets. This control is possible both when you are physically inside the buildings and remotely, thanks to the webserver. supervision and the Horizone cloud platform. Regardless of whether you use a KNX home automation system or a technological system based on one of the numerous protocols with which we are compatible, you can easily configure one of our supervision webservers, such as Horizone webserver or Horizone Mini, through a professional you trust. Once set up, you can take complete control using this app. Horizone Manager offers you the possibility of simultaneously managing more than one home automation system, as it is capable of storing access credentials to multiple webservers. The app automatically establishes the most appropriate connection, whether local via Wi-Fi or remotely, depending on your location. Thanks to the integration with the Eelectron cloud platform, you can access the different systems without having to make changes to the internet router. Furthermore, the most used functions can be controlled directly from the app's main screen, eliminating the need to connect to the system itself. Horizone Manager is an essential tool for both installers and system integrators. Thanks to this app, they can monitor the operating status of all the home automation systems for which they are responsible from a maintenance point of view, allowing them to anticipate customer assistance requests, offering a cutting-edge service and saving time and energy. Horizone Manager allows you to manage technological systems in a wide range of building types via Horizone webservers, including residential, offices, commercial facilities, industrial buildings and more. The manageable functions include light control (switching on/off, brightness adjustment, management of DALI, RGB and DMX lights), motorized drives, controlled sockets, air conditioning, irrigation, scenarios, energy monitoring, load control, anti-intrusion security, video surveillance and audio/video systems.

About

HyperVisu

HyperVisu turns the building automation system you already own into an app you actually enjoy using. Every light, blind, thermostat, meter and camera on one screen, updating live. IMPORTANT: HyperVisu is the companion app for a HyperVisu server. One has to be installed and commissioned on your network โ€” usually by your integrator โ€” before the app can do anything. This is not a standalone app. EVERY DEVICE, ONE APP โ€ข Lights โ€” switch, dim, tunable white and full RGB colour โ€ข Blinds and shutters โ€” exact position, presets and slat tilt โ€ข Heating and cooling โ€” setpoint, comfort/standby/night modes, weekly programs and boost โ€ข Air conditioning and ventilation โ€ข Cameras and video door entry โ€ข Door locks and gates โ€ข Meters, sensors and analogue values โ€ข EV charger โ€” live power, current limit and session history โ€ข Audio, including Sonos playback, volume and source selection ORGANISED THE WAY YOU THINK Browse by room or by category. Pin what you touch most as favourites. Build your own dashboards โ€” an energy view, a family view, a security view โ€” with exactly the cards you want on them. ENERGY YOU CAN ACT ON Watch solar production, battery charge, grid import and export, and what each appliance is drawing. Live, and as trends over 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or 12 months. Follow hourly electricity prices where your supplier publishes them, so you can run the washing machine when power is cheap. SECURITY Arm and disarm your alarm from the app, behind a PIN. Check cameras, door locks and presence at a glance. SCENES AND AUTOMATION Trigger a scenario like Good Morning or Movie Night with one tap. Run automations on time, sunrise and sunset, temperature, presence or any device value โ€” and pause or resume them whenever you like. MAKE IT YOURS Four themes โ€” Braise, Graphite, Sable and Glass โ€” five accent colours, and light or dark following your schedule or your system. Rename devices, pick icons, reorder rooms and set a text size that suits you. BUILT FOR EVERY SCREEN The same app runs on your phone, on a 10-inch wall tablet and on a 4-inch wall panel, with a layout fitted to each one. A panel by the door, a tablet in the hall, your phone everywhere else. WORKS WITH YOUR INSTALLATION HyperVisu speaks what your building already speaks: KNX, Modbus TCP, MQTT, BACnet/IP, HTTP, raw TCP/UDP, Home Assistant and Sonos. Your integrator wires it up once; you just use it. ON YOUR NETWORK, NOT SOMEONE ELSE'S Your system runs on your own hardware, in your own building, and the app talks to it directly over your local network. Remote access is optional and travels through an encrypted tunnel. No third party holds a copy of your home. HyperVisu is developed by Elausys.
