Device control

Drive Nodes from the Home list or a device control screen — on/off, brightness, colour, fan speed, and other parameters. When the phone and Node share a Wi-Fi network, local control can apply without going through the cloud.

Device listing

Devices are listed at the Home level. New Nodes appear under the All Devices tab by default. Create Rooms under the Home to organise them by location; room tabs appear next to All Devices.

Rooms on the Home screen

Created rooms show as tabs within the Home so you can filter the device list by location.
