An addition to the family of mobile applications for controlling iNELS devices is a mobile application with the distinctive name "iNELS". Unlike previous applications, we have now placed great emphasis on graphics and intuitive controls. The iNELS application will be the only one to enable the control of wireless elements from the iNELS RF portfolio using the new eLAN-RF-103 system control unit. The application allows you to easily control connected devices such as socket switching, dimming of lights, control of blinds or garage doors, control of heating circuits. Of course, the display of available values, such as temperature, motion, window, door or flood detectors, or the current status of all controlled devices. We have recently prepared a clear "Dashboard" for you, on which you can view the most used devices, previews of connected cameras or scenes you have created, where you can control several devices at once with one click. Our iNELS application will be gradually supplemented with the possibility of connecting devices, system and central units as well as third-party devices. With the iNELS mobile application, enter a stage in expanding the functions and integration options of the iNELS 2022 system.
