The Home Automation Base Package is the foundation of your smart home. It introduces the core technology required to enable automation, remote control, and intelligent behaviour across your home — and is required for all add‑on integrations.
At the heart of the package is the automation controller, which acts as the brain of your smart home. It coordinates devices, automations, schedules, and presence detection, allowing your home to respond automatically to you and your environment.
The mobile app (for both iPhone and Andriod) is the one single app that rules them all. No longer is it necassary to use 8 apps for different smart home functions. It allows control of your home from anywhere in the world and enables location awareness, so the system knows when you are home or away. This unlocks powerful automations such as lights, climate, or security responding automatically to your presence.
