The house, this second.
The total in large figures, then each running appliance. Estimates are pale and marked, and "Not identified" is always the last line.
The phone app
Your phone finds it.
The wall says yes.
No address to type and no account to create. Open the app on the same Wi-Fi as the hub and it looks for it by itself. The hub then asks, on its own screen, whether this phone may connect.
Android app in development. An iPhone app is not built yet.
Finding it
It asks your network one question.
The phone works out which home network it is on and asks every address on it once whether it is a hum. Other devices ignore the question. The hub answers with its name and nothing more, and that question does not unlock anything else.
It only ever scans private home-network addresses, never your mobile data connection. If a router hides devices from each other, there is a small "type the address" option as a last resort.
Approval on the wall
Being on the same Wi-Fi is not enough.
A guest or a neighbour on a shared building network should not be able to see when you are home. So the hub decides, and it shows you who is asking.
- You pick the hub
- The phone sends the name you gave it, for example "Ayşe's phone", and waits.
- The hub asks
- A box appears on the wall screen with that name, and says what the phone will be able to do if allowed: see live use and the record, and name appliances.
- You press Allow
- Only then does the hub hand over its key. The key is given once per request; the next phone has to be approved again.
- Or nothing happens
- "Decline" refuses. No answer within two minutes also refuses. Repeated requests from the same network are slowed down so the screen cannot be flooded.
- Only from the home network
- The hub refuses to answer these two questions from anything other than a real device on your network.
Once connected
The same screens as the hub.
The app uses the hub's own colours, type and words, so what you read on the phone means exactly what it means on the wall.
Hour by hour, with its seals.
Energy per hour, a 24-hour chart that leaves empty hours empty, and whether each hour was signed.
What it is asking you.
Lines waiting for a name, and the ones you already named. Tap one and give it a name; the hub remembers.
A new address is not a new device.
If the router gives the hub a different address, the app finds it again by its identity and carries on. You do not pair again.
The connected screens are not pictured here yet: the development hub has no sensor attached, and we do not publish screenshots with made-up readings.
No account to create.
No address to type.
