With LOXONE, you get all the features for your smart building at a glance in a single app – clearly laid out and easy to use. Control lighting, music, energy management, security and much more anytime, anywhere. Your app. Your style: Make the LOXONE App truly yours. Choose between two Themes – our signature Highlight Theme with the bold green header, or the subtle Neutral Theme with a dark header. With the new Light Mode, the app adapts to your preference: light, dark, or automatically matched to your system settings. Tailored precisely to your needs: Set up the LOXONE App exactly how you want it: set your favourites, create your own automations and design practical scenes for your building. Push notifications: Whether critical alarms such as burglary or practical reminders such as an open window when leaving the house – the LOXONE App notifies you in real time on all devices where you want it. Automatic Designer: Easily create your own logic – no programming knowledge required. Example: "When the sun rises AND it is a weekday, THEN turn on the coffee machine." Important information: The LOXONE App is used in conjunction with a LOXONE Miniserver. We recommend having the LOXONE Miniserver installed and configured and the LOXONE App set up by a certified LOXONE Partner. To ensure external access to the LOXONE App, the relevant settings must be made by a LOXONE Partner.

About

Stereotek

Features
Read full description

Stereotek is the companion app for a high-end audio, video and home automation system, built by the integrators behind the Stereotek showroom in Santo Domingo. There is no account, no sign-up, and nothing needs a connection. MY HOME - YOUR SYSTEM, ON YOUR PHONE Keep a record of what is installed in every room: brand, model, serial number, install date and warranty length. The app works out when each warranty runs out and flags anything expiring within 90 days. It is all stored on your device, so it is there when the network is not - which is exactly when you need to know the model of the switch sitting in the rack. A handover code loads a whole system in one paste, or moves it to another phone. PROJECT - PLAN THE ROOM BEFORE YOU BUILD IT Enter a room's width, length, height and seating distance, in metres or feet, and the app calculates: - Screen size from the 30 degree SMPTE reference angle to the 36 degree THX cinema angle, with the image width and height for each - Projector throw distance for short, standard and long zoom lenses - Exact speaker positions measured from your seat: fronts at 30 degrees, surrounds at 100, rears at 145, and height channels at 45 degrees of elevation calculated against your own ceiling - Axial room modes for all three dimensions, the lowest frequency the room supports, predicted mode pile-ups, and the 38 percent rule for where the seat belongs Then choose what each room needs and the app writes the pre-wire schedule: speaker runs, fibre-optic HDMI in conduit, Cat6 drops, neutrals in the switch boxes, dedicated circuits, power at every shade head rail. The list you hand your architect before the walls close. SUPPORT - ANSWERS BEFORE A PHONE CALL Short guides for what actually goes wrong: a zone with no sound, a projector with no picture, a shade that will not move, the internet down, a keypad gone dark. All of it offline. When you do need us, the fault report asks the right questions - room, system, symptom, urgency - and carries the equipment registered in that room, serial numbers included, straight from your inventory. BRANDS Our eight integration disciplines and every brand we carry, stored on the device and open instantly with no network. SHOWROOM Book a private audition in one of our three rooms - The Two-Channel Sanctuary, The Dedicated Cinema Room, or The Smart Living Atrium - tell us what you would like played, and the app writes the appointment into your calendar with the address and a reminder. Stereotek - C/ Luis Lembert #5, Ensanche Naco, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
