Simple overview With the app, you have an exact overview of the status of your garage door and entrance gate, your entrance door lock and other connected devices at all times. Self-explanatory icons show you whether your doors are open or closed or whether your entrance door lock is locked or unlocked. Setting up “scenarios” Simply combine several individual functions to create scenarios, or so-called Homeegramms, to suit your needs. A scenario means that, at the press of a button, you can open or close your garage door and entrance gate at the same time, or control your entrance door together with your external lighting. You create the Homeegramms individually for your personal app usage – exactly the way you want them to be. Worldwide networking Whether on the couch, in the office or on vacation: If required, you can have full control over your networked devices at all times and can choose to be informed by push message* if, for example the entrance door lock is unlocked via the app or the movement detector detects a person. * Only in conjunction with a corresponding Homeegramm. Expand your possibilities The Hörmann homee Brain Smart Home control centre with BiSecur and WiFi radio as standard can be expanded at any time with new cubes, and therefore with additional radio systems. Each cube is responsible for another radio technology and can “talk” to other devices. You can find further information at www.hoermann.de/homee
