Your installer has set up the system and created an account for you. Ten minutes from here, you'll be at home in the app.

Get the app

  • Phone or tablet: install HyperVisu from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
  • Browser: open the web app — ask your administrator for the address; it is the server address you also use to connect below.

Connect to your server

The first screen is Connect to server.

  1. In the Server IP address or S/N field, enter either the server's local IP address or its serial number (on the server's label, or on the system page of the admin panel).
  2. Tap Connect. The app resolves cloud versus local automatically: at home it uses the fast local connection, elsewhere it goes through the cloud — and it falls back to the other path if one fails.
The Connect screen — Phone layout.
The Connect screen — Tablet layout.
The Connect screen — Wall panel layout.

💡 Tip: No server yet? Tap Demo mode at the bottom to explore the app with built-in demo data — no connection or account needed.

Sign in

Enter the username and password your administrator gave you and tap Login. The app loads your home: rooms, devices, scenarios — everything you have access to.

A first look at the Home screen

  • At the top: a greeting and a live reading (weather, temperature or energy, as configured).
  • A live summary of the house: lights on, shutters, alarm.
  • Sections for your rooms, scenarios, categories and anything currently active.
  • Bottom navigation to Home, Rooms, Categories and Views, plus the settings menu.

The full tour is in “The Home Screen”.

Five things to try first

  1. Toggle a light — open a room and tap a light. It switches instantly, and the app shows its live state.
  2. Run a scenario — tap the play button on a scenario ("Movie night", "Good morning"…) and watch several devices move at once.
  3. Open a room — tap a room tile to see everything in it, grouped by category, with its live summary.
  4. Pin a favorite — long-press a device you use often to pin it as a favorite; favorites surface first (see “App Settings & Personalization”).
  5. Open the settings — pick your language and theme, and make the app yours (see “App Settings & Personalization”).
