Phoebe Connected Home is a smart-home control app for residences. It puts the switches, outlets, curtains, roller doors, water heaters and water dispensers already installed in your home in one place, so you can run them all from your phone. Built around your real home Set up your home as Home → Floors → Rooms, and place every device where it actually is, so you never have to guess which light you are switching. Invite family members to share the home; everyone signs in with their own account. Live control and live status Operate every channel of a device straight from its page and see its state update right away, without refreshing. A multi-gang panel lets you control the main light, ambient light and reading light separately, each with its own countdown timer. Scenes: a chain of actions in one tap Combine the actions you use most into a scene. "Home" can turn on the entrance and living-room lights and open the curtains; "Away" can switch everything off at once. Run a scene with one tap from the home screen. Automations: let your home run itself Use temperature, humidity, weather, sunrise and sunset, or the time of day as conditions to run a scene or send you a reminder. For example, run "Ventilate" when the temperature passes your limit, or close the curtains before dark. Energy and water quality Metered outlets and water heaters report power, voltage, current and accumulated energy use, and the app shows the trend. Water dispensers report accumulated output and water quality (TDS), and alert you when readings look abnormal. Safety alerts You get an instant push notification when a water heater's breaker trips or heating runs too long, so you do not find out in the shower. Universal infrared remote With a compatible infrared hub you can bring your air conditioner, TV and set-top box remotes into the app, and learn the buttons of your existing remotes. Supported devices must be installed in your home first. The app does not work on its own.
