Simpler and More Flexible
User Management
Thanks to category groups and prohibitions, assigning authorizations has become more powerful and simpler. Category groups enable individual features, such as heating, while prohibitions allow adjustments without creating separate groups for each use case.
Save Time:
Automatic Updates for Gateway-Client Systems
As with individual Miniservers, client-gateway systems can now be updated automatically. This new feature also allows gateway-client systems to be updated via Exosphere, saving time and significantly reducing maintenance work.
Creates Clarity:
Control History for Additional Features
A log file’s contents can now be automatically emailed by email. For instance, this makes it easier to bill your company for your Wallbox because they will be instantly notified about the monthly charging sessions.
- Windows
- Door Control
- Roof Window Shading
Spot Price Optimizer:
Ready for Price Fluctuations
The Spot Price Optimizer now provides an output for the next price, enabling better optimization of energy consumption. For example, you can heat up a boiler before a price jump.
Tree-to-Air-Bridge:
Integrate Even More Devices
We have optimized the communication of the Tree-to-Air-Bridge, increasing the maximum limit to 128 devices. Additionally, connected Air devices no longer take up any Tree space.
Further Improvements
- New firmware for the Valve Actuator Gen.1 for improved service life
- New API to integrate hotel software such as casablanca
Exosphere:
A New Level of User-Friendliness
