The Flex IoT Cloud Server (or simply FCS) enables smart energy management, boosting your efficiency and cost savings while supporting sustainability efforts to offset your carbon footprint. FCS safeguards your home and business operations with intelligent alarms, triggers, and trend analysis. It offers a unique Zero Net Energy (ZNE) approach, providing customers with clear insights into energy consumption and generation after installing efficient ON-GRID systems like photovoltaic and wind. Main Features: •Seamless Energy Management: •Wired (Modbus, RS-485, Ethernet) and wireless (Wi-Fi, RF433, Z-Wave, Tuya, LoRaWAN) concentrators. •Compact Smart Energy meters can be easily installed on DIN rails in distribution panels for non-invasive monitoring. •Versatile Control and Monitoring: •Control and monitor energy across Lighting Processors and Single and Three Phase Smart Meters. •Compare consumption between sectors, assets, or shifts for optimized energy usage. •Wide Applicability: •Ideal for residential, Airbnb, commercial, hotel, hospital, and industrial applications. •Suitable for various setups, including EV charging stations, elevator control, industrial robots, public lighting, and PV(Photovoltaic) systems. •Secure and Easy Integration: •Ensure secure data communication and seamless integration with automation systems like Control4, SCADA, and BMS/PMS. •Compact design allows easy installation and configuration through embedded Flex Web Server. •Customizable Dashboards and Reports: •Generate customizable dashboards and periodic reports for detailed energy monitoring. •Control energy consumption economically with monthly reports in local currency. •Standalone Automation: •Configure triggers and alarms for conditions like over/under voltage, maximum demand, low power factor, and more. •Receive real-time notifications via WhatsApp, Push or email for any critical alerts. * Example: If voltage exceeds 240Vac, automatically switch off the Power and notify the user. •Advanced Automation and Macros: •Create complex macros for lighting, circadian CCT cycles, air conditioning, audio/video systems, and motorized shades. •Customize multi-tariff settings for up to four different rates and seasonal hour settings (Peak/Off Peak). •Compliance and Standards: •Meets all relevant safety and quality standards (IEC, CE, EAC, MID). Experience the future of energy control with Flex IoT.
Benchmark Pro

Benchmark Pro helps you measure performance, understand your results and keep a useful record of your device over time. RUN FOCUSED BENCHMARKS Measure CPU, GPU, memory and storage performance. Run the core suite or choose an individual test. See progress, elapsed time and clear explanations of what each result measures. WATCH LIVE ACTIVITY Follow CPU activity and memory use in live graphs. View device details, available storage, battery information and the operating system's thermal status where supported. UNDERSTAND YOUR RESULTS Review your own benchmark history and compare compatible runs. Results are specific to the workload and device conditions; they are not a universal device-health score or a ranking against every device with the same chip. CHECK HARDWARE Explore supported display, touch, audio, camera and sensor checks. Run a 1-, 3- or 10-minute stress test to observe sustained performance. NETWORK RESPONSE CHECK Measure HTTPS response time and variability to the configured endpoint. This is a responsiveness test, not a download or upload bandwidth test. KEEP A CLEAR RECORD Export readable PDF reports with results, graphs and device details. Available checks and measurements vary by platform and hardware. Core performance benchmarks and basic monitoring are free. Pro adds stress testing, hardware diagnostics, extended history, advanced comparisons, PDF export and selected themes. Choose Monthly, Yearly or Lifetime in the app. Prices and any eligible introductory offer are shown before purchase. Performance varies with background activity, power settings, available storage and thermal conditions. Guided diagnostics help you observe behavior; they do not certify hardware condition.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FLEX IoT at none against Benchmark Pro's 3. FLEX IoT also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Benchmark Pro's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 10 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
