Function and Intended Use
With the digitalSTROM-Server IP "dSS-IP" you integrate IP-devices in your home such as
multiroom systems from Sonos, Philips Hue lights or the Smarter iKettle 2.0 into a totally
new world of intelligent home control – the digitalSTROM world. Devices are
interconnected in the simplest way and can be operated conveniently via digitalSTROM
Smartphone apps or by voice.
The digitalSTROM orchestration enables the simple interaction of IP devices and informs
you e.g. by the blinking of lights, voice output or by a push message on your smartphone,
when another device has finished its task.
The IP devices connected in the network are detected by the dSS-IP and integrated as a
digitalSTROM device. As a result, the devices receive the typical properties of a
digitalSTROM device and switch off automatically, such as when leaving the house. This
standard behavior and much more can be configured easily via a web interface, the
digitalSTROM Configurator (
Setup
).
This enables you to define rooms that match your rooms at home. In these rooms, for
example, you can now set presets for light or audio. The devices in the respective room
respond to the corresponding preset in the way requested by you and execute an
operation. And thanks to "User Defined Actions" available to you on the server as an app,
you can allow light and audio to perform a common action.
1.1
Setting up, Calling up and Operating
You can already control IP devices (e.g. Sonos, Philips Hue, Smart iKettle etc.) individually
using the appropriate manufacturer apps. With your dSS-IP not only do you control these
IP devices, but you interconnect them intelligently in the rooms and call up predefined
presets, actions or user defined actions in rooms. And later you can even equip bots with
dS device. Below are the most important terms for the configuration and setting of your
dSS-IP:
Rooms
All your IP devices have to be assigned to a room. To create presets and user defined
actions easily, you can create "rooms" using the dSS-IP, which correspond to the rooms in
your home. You then assign your IP devices to these rooms and can thus control them
intelligently and easily. Choose clear, understandable names for the rooms so that they
can also be controlled using the voice control.

Detecting IP Devices
Presets
With the dSS-IP you set up the light and audio presets and thus predefine your preferred
settings on your IP devices per preset. Presets are room-dependent and are called up
room-related. All devices in a room can be included for a preset.
