The NEARcom app simplifies the integration of NEARcom-ready BACnet or Modbus devices. This user-friendly tool allows technicians to retrieve and modify network and device settings using just their smartphone equipped with Near Field Communication (NFC). What sets NEARcom apart is its ability to interface with and adjust device settings without needing to power them up. This feature enables network configuration changes right out of the box, before the devices are even installed. Traditionally, configuring BACnet devices required powering them up and navigating through complex display menus. With the NEARcom app, device configuration becomes quick, convenient, and intuitive.
