With ONYX from HELLA, you control your sun protection intelligently, conveniently, and energy-efficiently. The app combines modern smart home design with automated shading control – for greater living comfort and a more conscious approach to energy. Easy setup: Add new devices in just a few steps: scan the QR code, assign a name and color, done. Group your shading elements, keep track of everything at all times, and flexibly adapt everything to your living situation. Convenient control: Control individual elements or entire groups with intuitive gesture control – at home or on the go. With scenarios and automations, your sun protection adapts to your daily routine. Intelligent & energy-efficient: ONYX uses daylight, sun position, and weather information to automatically control your shading. This keeps your home pleasantly cool in summer and warmer longer in winter – reducing the need for heating and air conditioning and helping to save energy. Connected in the smart home: ONYX can be integrated into modern smart home environments and offers a future-proof platform for connected shading solutions from HELLA. Requirements: To control your home with the ONYX app, you need compatible ONYX control devices for your sun protection products. The full range of functions – especially remote access, automatic and scene functions – is available with an ONYX.CENTER. For more information, contact your HELLA partner.
