Apps allows to download, activate and configure your apps.
Applications (Apps) realize the intelligence of your Smart Home
All functions above and beyond the access and control of wireless devices are realized with apps. Apps can among
others…
•
…use functions of devices and services available via IP and the internet (e.g. weather data, integration of SONOS
audio system),
•
…implement automation in a way IF this and this THEN do this and this,
•
…realize complex application like automated energy control or home security,
•
…and do much more…
Apps are like templates. Only when activated they become a real part of the smart home system. Some apps can only
be activated once (like “Sensor Polling”) while others can be activated as often as you like (like “Local Weather” for
different cities). Some apps are already activated on factory-default, some others are already installed on your Hub but
not activated. More apps can be downloaded from the app store.
