Read full description

Rithum Home is the companion app for the Rithum Switch โ€” the award-winning, all-in-one smart home control panel that brings your lighting, audio, climate and door intercom together on one screen on your wall. This app puts your home's heating in your pocket, so you can stay comfortable wherever you are. CONTROL EVERY ZONE โ€ข Set the temperature for each zone independently โ€” heating, cooling and hot water. โ€ข See the current temperature at a glance and adjust in seconds. โ€ข Boost a zone for a quick top-up, then let it return to schedule automatically. SCHEDULES THAT FIT YOUR LIFE โ€ข Build a 7-day schedule for each zone with as many time points as you need. โ€ข Copy a day to others to set the week up fast. โ€ข Turn schedules on or off per zone whenever you like. HOME, AWAY & HOLIDAY IN ONE TAP โ€ข Switch the whole house to Away or Holiday and every zone reacts the way you set it. โ€ข Choose which zones turn off and which stop following their schedule while you're out. โ€ข Come back and tap Home to pick straight back up. SET UP IN MINUTES โ€ข Add a Rithum switch by scanning its details or entering them by hand. โ€ข Organise your home into zones that match how you actually live. SECURE & PRIVATE โ€ข Sign in to your Rithum account to control your own home. โ€ข In-app account deletion whenever you want. WORKS WITH YOUR RITHUM SYSTEM Rithum Home connects to your Rithum Switch and Rithum Stat so you can control your heating when you're away from home. Everyday control also lives right on the panel on your wall โ€” no phone needed. Rithum Home is free to download. A subscription for advanced features is available separately on the web.
