pocket control HM for iPad vs Symcon Visualization

Pocket control HM is the app for the Homematic system with CCU or RaspberryMatic. The Homematic IP Access Point and the Home Control Unit are not compatible. It supports both HomeMatic and Homematic IP devices. Features: - You can define your own views for specific devices in order to access them quickly or to get an immediate overview of the most important functions of the home automation system. - The views can be created as a list or as an image view. Image views have a background image and manually or automatically positioned devices. This allows you to operate the devices intuitively in a floor plan, a self-generated 3D representation or a photo. - The devices in image views are fixed at the position you have selected so that the devices remain in position when you move the background. Options are available for devices in picture views to adjust the appearance, size, background and its transparency. - You can use finger gestures or buttons to switch animatedly to other views. There are no restrictions on the number of views, so your user interface can grow with your requirements. - With actions, you can change the state of multiple devices or system variables at once. For example, with one action, you can turn on or dim lights, close shutters, and increase the temperature. Actions can include delays, making it possible to switch devices on and later off. Actions can be saved as shortcuts in the Shortcuts app and used in widgets, as well as activated with Siri. - You can create and edit programs and system variables directly within the app. This allows you to adjust your home automation remotely. - Push notifications from the control center to your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch will keep you informed of important events in your home automation. You can specify who the recipient is in the notification. You can choose a sound or mute the notification. These notifications are listed within the app. - You have the option to automate devices based on scheduled times. The control center will automatically execute the commands. - For many devices, you can create custom icons within the app, making it easier to recognize their status. Special states are made more visible through custom icons. - The system log of the CCU can be displayed. For selected devices, the system log can be shown as a graphical chart. - Multiple configurations can be created (both for a single system and for different systems). - Configuration sharing via iCloud, email, and AirDrop is supported. - Service messages are listed and can be acknowledged. - The app or just the settings can be protected with a PIN. - IP cameras (webcams) can be integrated. - The app’s color scheme can be customized. A dark design is available. - Remote controls and wall switches are graphically reproduced for operation. - Communication is provided via WLAN (WiFi) when at home and via an existing VPN connection when away. - A connection to the service Cloudmatic connect is integrated.
