Read full description

The new Horizone Manager app allows quick and intuitive control of your smart buildings via smartphones and tablets. This control is possible both when you are physically inside the buildings and remotely, thanks to the webserver. supervision and the Horizone cloud platform. Regardless of whether you use a KNX home automation system or a technological system based on one of the numerous protocols with which we are compatible, you can easily configure one of our supervision webservers, such as Horizone webserver or Horizone Mini, through a professional you trust. Once set up, you can take complete control using this app. Horizone Manager offers you the possibility of simultaneously managing more than one home automation system, as it is capable of storing access credentials to multiple webservers. The app automatically establishes the most appropriate connection, whether local via Wi-Fi or remotely, depending on your location. Thanks to the integration with the Eelectron cloud platform, you can access the different systems without having to make changes to the internet router. Furthermore, the most used functions can be controlled directly from the app's main screen, eliminating the need to connect to the system itself. Horizone Manager is an essential tool for both installers and system integrators. Thanks to this app, they can monitor the operating status of all the home automation systems for which they are responsible from a maintenance point of view, allowing them to anticipate customer assistance requests, offering a cutting-edge service and saving time and energy. Horizone Manager allows you to manage technological systems in a wide range of building types via Horizone webservers, including residential, offices, commercial facilities, industrial buildings and more. The manageable functions include light control (switching on/off, brightness adjustment, management of DALI, RGB and DMX lights), motorized drives, controlled sockets, air conditioning, irrigation, scenarios, energy monitoring, load control, anti-intrusion security, video surveillance and audio/video systems.
