The home screen is your landing page: a glance tells you what the house is doing, and one tap reaches the things you use most.

Home screen — Phone layout.
Home screen — Tablet layout.
Home screen — Wall panel layout.

What you see, from top to bottom

  • Greeting — good morning / afternoon / evening, with your name.
  • Headline — the big reading at the top. By default it shows the weather; the home editor can switch it to a room's temperature, the lights-on count, or the live energy figure (see “App Settings & Personalization”).
  • Summary strip — live counters for lights, shutters and the alarm. Tapping the lights counter opens the "what is on" list (see “Rooms & Categories”).
  • Scene of the moment — one suggested scenario as a pill; tap to activate it.
  • Quick actions — icon buttons for all lights off and shutters up / down for the whole house (see “Global Commands”).
  • Rooms — a grid of up to 6 rooms with their live status. See all opens the Rooms page.
  • Active now — cards for everything currently running; tap a card to open the list behind the count.
  • Scenarios — shortcuts to your favourite scenes.
  • Manual automations — rules with a manual trigger, ready to run with a tap.
  • Categories — up to 6 category chips.
  • Views — up to 3 of your dashboards (see “Custom Views”).
  • Pinned widgets — the individual devices you pinned to the home.

Every section is optional — the home editor decides which sections appear and in which order (see “App Settings & Personalization”).

Getting around the app

The app has four main destinations, always one tap away in the navigation bar:

Configuration sheet, listing Scenarios, Automations, Functions, Device groups, Views and App settings, each with an icon and a subtitle — Tablet layout.
  • Scenarios — create and run scenes (see “Scenarios”).
  • Automations — your WHEN / IF / THEN rules (see “Automations”).
  • Functions — the Logic engine's functions in plain words (see “Functions in the App”).
  • Device groups — one widget that drives many (administrators only, see “Device Groups”).
  • Views — the views manager (see “Custom Views”).
  • App settings — appearance, language, session (see “App Settings & Personalization”). The System page is reached from there (see “App Settings & Personalization”).

📘 Note: On a tablet the same entries appear in the Configuration rail on the left, which also lists System directly (see “Tablet & Wall Panel”).
