Built for haunted attractions, escape rooms, interactive exhibits, and entertainment venues that demand instant visibility and zero downtime.

Live status streams over Wi-Fi so you know the second a prop stops responding, an air loop drops pressure, or a controller loses power - before patrons notice. MONITOR & DIAGNOSE FROM ANYWHERE Monitor and diagnose your devices from right in front of the prop, from anywhere in the world over the internet, or even without Wi-Fi or internet. FAULT NOTIFICATIONS Get a push alert when a problem is detected. Your tech team can intercept problems before the show is affected. MANAGE AND CONFIGURE Use the app to provision your devices for Wi-Fi, upload sounds, configure scenes, and more. REQUIREMENTS ShowMatic hardware and a ShowMatic account on our cloud.
