Gira HomeServer/FacilityServer A simple and elegant way of operating complex building technology while away or from any room at home: with the Gira HomeServer app, you have everything under control – with an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, via GSM, UMTS or WLAN, from outside or inside the building. The app acts as a client, communicating with the Gira HomeServer or FacilityServer: the Gira Interface displays all functions clearly and concisely and allows quick access to the building. The display is either horizontal or vertical and can be modified by simply rotating the device. Various profiles allow controlling different buildings such as a personal residence or company as well as various views of one building. In this way, different functions can be controlled from outside the building than from inside. Different views can also be created for users. The most important features: Main menu The main menu displays all building functions. Date, time, current temperature and active functions can be viewed via the status bar. The jump back to the main menu is via the lower navigation bar. Room list All rooms of a property are assigned by floor. The overview of all applications installed in a room can be opened by touch. Room functions The functions within a room and their status are recognizable at a glance and can be operated with a touch. For more complex functions such as the heating control system, a pop-up menu is opened. If the device is rotated by 90°, the horizontal format opens a further view of the time clock functions. Time clock A function can be adapted to personal requirements via a range of filter functions; random values are also possible in this way. Diagrams Diagrams enable the clear display of detected and evaluated consumption data by year, month, week, day or hour. If the unit is turned by 90°, the last active diagram appears in the horizontal format. Temperature differences, for example, can be visualised via multi-touch. Messages Alarm and fault messages, measured values and states of the various components integrated in the system are clearly displayed. Weather data The data from the weather station installed on the building such as wind speed, precipitation and temperatures are available at a glance. Energy generation and fill levels The energy generation of a photovoltaic system can be viewed just as easily as the fill level of a cistern for rain water. Camera Cameras on the grounds can be called up with one operational step. Important note This app can only be used in connection with a Gira HomeServer or FacilityServer in a KNX/EIB installation.

Average-speed cameras don't care how fast you pass them. They time you between two cameras and judge the average. Evenpace shows you that average, live, as one big number — so you can keep a steady, legal pace without doing arithmetic at the wheel. ONE NUMBER • Your running average since the entry camera, readable at a glance • Green, amber, red: within the limit, close to it, over it • In a known zone: the distance left and the pace that keeps your average within the limit • At the exit: your final average over the official zone length WORKS ON ANY ROAD • Tap Start at the first camera and Stop at the second — that is the whole app • No data for this stretch? Pick the limit and measure anyway • Save a stretch as your own zone; next time its length and limit attach by themselves ZONES FOR YOUR COUNTRY • Average-speed (section control) zones from OpenStreetMap for the country you choose • "Zone ahead" alert before a known entry camera — start with one tap from the notification • Measuring ends by itself at the exit camera • Works offline once the zones are on your phone MADE FOR THE DRIVER'S SEAT • A dark, quiet screen with no map, no ads and nothing to read while moving • Glare mode for bright sun • Keeps measuring with the phone locked or your navigation app in front • Live Activity and Dynamic Island keep the number visible • Tones and haptics when your status changes, so you don't have to look PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Trips and locations stay on this phone. They are never uploaded • Location is read only between Start and Stop, or in a short burst when you approach a known zone with hands-free on • No account, no ads, no data sales EVENPACE PRO • Hands-free: measuring starts at the entry camera and stops at the exit without a tap • Voice announcements: your average, the speed that keeps it within the limit and your result, spoken in English or Latvian • Apple Watch app and complication • More than one country at the same time Your first 10 automatic starts are included, so you can try hands-free before you subscribe. Evenpace Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription, offered monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings at any time. GOOD TO KNOW Evenpace is a driving aid, not a legal instrument. A GPS average can differ slightly from the enforcement system's own measurement, and zone data from OpenStreetMap contributors can be incomplete or out of date. Always follow posted limits and road signs, and set up the app before you drive. Shared zone data is offered only in countries where it is lawful; manual measuring works everywhere.
