Modulare Zusatzfunktionen
Dank der modularen Struktur
wächst das SmartFriends-System bei Bedarf
schrittweise mit Ihren Bedürfnissen.
Add features directly through your app ...
If the extensive basic functions are not sufficient for your use cases, or if you would like to turn your SmartFriends box into an alarm system, you can purchase additional modules at any time and utilise new features.
You can find the additional modules directly in the app under the menu item "Extensions". New features are available just a few minutes after booking.
Overview of Additional Modules
Alarm
Security gives a good feeling
With the Alarm Module, you can transform your SmartFriends system into a fully-fledged alarm centre.
All useful devices are taken into account - whether they are motion detectors, door/window contacts, cameras, or sirens, through a setup assistant..
Additional monitoring devices can also be integrated later.
Alarm notifications are transmitted via connected sirens as well as directly as push messages to the household's smartphones. In the event of an alarm, camera images are automatically triggered and also provided..
The functions also include professional features such as input and output paths, definition of the last door, etc..
All events are stored internally.
In combination with modules such as event lists, zones, permissions, or time periods, further interesting use cases arise.
RemoteHome
everything accessible on the go
RemoteHome offers the ability to access the SmartHome system while on the go. The operation is carried out via a secure connection in compliance with current
Security standards. As an additional protection, remote access is only possible if at least one successful connection has been established over the local network.
When controlling remotely, users have the same options available as they do at home. Devices can be switched, sensors can be read, and camera images can be viewed from afar, among other things.
As the service may incur costs, it must be manually activated by the administrator.
If a license is available, the HomeServer automatically establishes a connection to the remote service. This means that the connection is always initiated from the house and never into the house.
Wetterstation
Online weather data
Many processes in daily life depend on the weather or are directly adjusted to it. Whether it's activities like a walk, which one prefers to take in dry weather, or the home environment, such as the awning that must be retracted in strong winds..
Missing environmental sensors for sun, wind, and rain can now be easily replaced with the online weather station. This allows you to automate devices such as your sprinkler system, awning, or roller shutters based on the weather data..
Make your SmartHome a bit smarter again with the "integrated weather station" and respond to forecasts before the weather changes.
Permissions
Permissions provide the ability to assign users differing capabilities within the system.
There is a distinction between installers, administrators, and regular users - separated by local access and remote operation. It is possible to define new user groups and grant granular rights for various functions in the areas of rooms, devices, and scenes.
Time profiles
Time profiles provide the opportunity to operate the system with varying behaviour depending on the time throughout the week.
Diverse additional modules can potentially gain further enhancement through time profiles: This can range from the automatic activation of an alarm system to time-limited permissions.
Push Sounds
The module for supporting push notification sounds provides the ability to assign corresponding sounds to individual push events.
This way, users know what type of event it is even before reading a message.
Concise tones certainly attract attention in the immediate environment as well.
Event list
Not less interesting than the comfortable or automatic control of a SmartHome system is the subsequent access to the system's events. Have the events listed chronologically by category and filter the lists by event types. Narrow down the search to specific time periods to reach your goal more quickly.
Event lists are not only interesting in the alarm context, but also provide insights into all categories of actions in a SmartHome system.
Zones
The larger the buildings are, the more important it will be to group rooms separately into zones. The module offers the possibility to divide buildings into administrative structures. Examples of this include basements, ground floors, upper floors, or even outbuildings.
Along with other modules, additional functionalities arise besides the organisation of the rooms. The optional alarm module operates based on zones that can be secured separately.
Dashboard
The module enables the support of a dashboard. This is designed as a central point of contact for a system and consolidates user-specific important functions on one page.
The compilation of content can be done by the user themselves. Additionally, extension modules sometimes come with their own theme pages for the dashboard and further expand the range of functions.

"Bundles" for rent
