Product Spotlight: HomeControl2.0
HomeControl2.0 is our highly advanced and simple-to-use smart device application that makes managing and controlling our security systems faster and more efficient; putting users in control of their security, safety and comfort, in and outside of the home.
The app has been in the market since January 2021; it’s an evolution of our original HomeControl+ app. Built on a brand-new user interface, HomeControl2.0 has been developed to both enhance the day-to-day user experience and evolve over time.
It can be connected to any existing or new Pyronix system that offers app control and connects via our PyronixCloud platform, which installers can use to manage their entire estates and to control user access and permissions. What’s more, the PyronixCloud also acts as a recurring revenue platform, making it simple for installers to generate that recurring income from all of their connected systems.
Any number of systems can be added to the app and the navigation has been designed so that multi area systems are easily viewed through the interface, including the ability to view individual sensor status and area status at a glance.
Offering a solution for now and the future, HomeControl2.0 continually makes security easy, convenient and simple for both installers and users; all while delivering extensive protection and peace of mind.
Our latest HomeControl2.0 update, which is aimed at offering installers more innovative solutions for boosting growth and delivering true customer value, is a major step forward in what we’re able to offer our customers.
Along with legacy features, like geofence arming and disarming alerts, enhanced biometric login, and voice notifications, the latest HomeControl2.0 version offers lots of brand-new, convenient features and compatibilities for installers and users to enjoy, including:
The DoorbellCam
The HomeControl DoorbellCam is an outdoor, wire-free Wi-Fi camera, which can operate as a standalone device or with the alarm system. It offers main-entrance protection with Full-HD video, 130° wide-angle view, motion detection, real-time notifications and a push-to-talk function, so users can monitor, see and speak with visitors straight from the HomeControl2.0 app.
The BatteryCam
With 130 degree wide angle view, our wireless BatteryCam offers indoor and outdoor video monitoring with built-in movement detection. Its battery level can be maintained with our supplementary SolarPanel – there’s no need to manually remove and charge the BatteryCam, so users are always protected.
The Personal Help Alarm
The app also offers a new personal safety feature. It enables users to raise an alarm by sending an SOS notification to a contact bubble of family or friends. Users can request urgent assistance, whether inside or outside the home. It operates on a standalone basis, so there’s no need to be a Pyronix customer to access the feature; anyone can use it, and with no subscription charges, users just need to download the HomeControl2.0 app, set up their bubble and they’re good to go.
SmartPlugCompatibility
The SmartPlug is now compatible with HomeControl2.0 too, enabling on/off control of devices, scenes and automation configuration, and energy consumption monitoring; all from a single interface. The SmartPlug can be integrated with the DoorbellCam to provide linkage between IoT devices, turning it on and off when motion is detected, for example.
HomeControl2.0 brings together a whole host of exciting features; the security system, video monitoring, IoT devices and individual safety inside and outside of the home.
We’re constantly looking to evolve the platform and we’ll be releasing new updates in 2023 to build further on customer value.
HomeControl2.0 is available on Android™ from the Google Play Store and on iOS™ from the App Store. Our compatible products, like the SmartPlug and DoorbellCam, are available to purchase in distribution.
