Third‑party integrations

Controllers and services from other makers, adopted over the network and used like everything else.

What they are

Besides its own buses and radios, the gateway talks to controllers and services from other makers over the network: relay and dimmer controllers, shutter controllers, smart locks, speakers, TVs. They appear in the Integrations catalogue as their own cards, and the list grows with app updates.

Adding a controller

Install the integration from the catalogue and tap Find. Every controller on the network that isn't adopted yet is listed.
Add the ones you want and tap Done.
Each controller shows its channels (relays, dimmers, shutters, inputs). Give them a room and they are ordinary devices in Rooms, Workflows and Trends.

Channel names belong to the controller: rename one here and the controller keeps the name; rename it on the controller and the gateway follows.

Calibrate shutters learns each shutter's travel time so tiles show the real position and you can drag to any point.
Group channels as RGB/RGBW colour light(s) turns three or four dimmer channels into one colour light.

Inputs

Inputs are hidden in Rooms by default (show them from the integrations menu). Presses and gestures on inputs are triggers in Workflows. Where the controller supports it, simple links (this input switches that relay) are written inside the controller and keep working with no network and no gateway.

Cloud services

Some integrations sign in to a maker's cloud (smart locks, for instance). You enter your account once; from then on the devices behave like local ones, with their state and battery in Rooms.

Offline

When a controller drops, its channels stay in the list and come back when it reconnects. Wireless controllers respond more slowly than wired ones; that is the controller's radio, not the gateway.
