Triple-End Control: Supports control via APP, Mini Program, and PC. For example, if a streetlight malfunctions, the manager can issue a work order on the PC, while the maintenance staff can handle the order on-site using the APP or Mini Program. This multi-end collaboration significantly enhances work efficiency and response speed. Remote Control: Enables remote switching and dimming of lights. For instance, during holidays with increased evening foot traffic, brightness can be remotely adjusted to 100%. On regular days, it can be set to 30%. Login Options: If your phone is out of credit and you can't receive a verification code, our one-click login automatically recognizes your phone number without manual input. Additionally, we offer WeChat login, verification code login, and more, allowing you to choose the most convenient method. Scheduled Tasks: Different lighting needs during work hours and lunch breaks can be managed with our timer function, which automatically switches and adjusts brightness based on preset times. Scene Configuration: Tailor lighting strategies to different areas to reduce energy consumption. For example, parking lot brightness can be set to 100% during the day when traffic is high and reduced to 30% at night when traffic is low. Smart Integration: Combined with sensors, our system adjusts brightness in large factories during sudden overcast or rainy weather, maintaining optimal indoor lighting conditions. Auto-Search: During installation, if devices are misplaced, our auto-search feature ensures correct gateway-device matching, enhancing efficiency and accuracy. Device Monitoring: Our APP offers a one-click inspection feature, allowing you to check device health and control status anytime, ensuring timely issue resolution even without a computer. Data Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of device data such as current, voltage, and energy consumption, keeping you informed wherever you are. Energy Consumption Overview: With the rise of energy-saving initiatives, our APP provides real-time energy data, including hourly, daily, monthly, and yearly consumption, highlighting the data you care about most.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: InwuCloud at none against Pip's shown. InwuCloud also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). Pip's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 8 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
