The app combines modern smart home design with automated shading control – for greater living comfort and a more conscious approach to energy.

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.
