About

JUNG HOME

Features
Read full description

JUNG HOME is a system which simply changes your home into a smart home. The JUNG HOME app links all the devices in your JUNG HOME system locally via Bluetooth Mesh SIG. Without the Internet, WLAN router or server, the app offers direct access to all the installed JUNG HOME devices. The wireless Bluetooth Mesh communication within the system is fully encrypted. Both the commissioning and operation are very simple thanks to the intuitive menu. To become familiar with the app, you can try out the integrated demo mode. The setup is carried out in just a few steps: first put the JUNG HOME switch, push-button or socket into coupling mode via the respective button. In the JUNG HOME app, you select β€œSearch for and insert Bluetooth devices”. Functions such as lighting, shading, temperature and sockets can now be configured for the different areas. Time programs can also be inserted individually and functions can be combined into scenes. You can now operate your JUNG HOME via the app. Further JUNG HOME devices can also be easily integrated. In future, services such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home can be implemented as well. The JUNG HOME gateway is required for this. Updates of new versions and functions can likewise be carried out via the app.
