Intelligent systems at home
One app for the gate, garage door, front door, windows, blinds and heating: what it connects, how sharing access works, and what happens offline.

Intelligent Systems brings the gate, the garage door, the entrance door, the windows, the blinds and the heating into one quiet system, controlled from one app, from anywhere1. This is what that means from one day to the next.
What it connects
Sliding and swing gates, wickets, sectional and roller garage doors, and entrance doors with an electric lock; tilt-and-turn and terrace windows fitted with actuators; external blinds and shutters; and heating through compatible controls1. Each is a product you may already know from the rest of the house, now listening to the same app1.
No extra boxes on the wall
For the gate, the garage door and the entrance door, the connection is built into the drives themselves: there is no extra hub, module or wiring1. The app reaches them over the home’s internet connection, so a working connection at the property is required1.
On a garage door, a drive with built-in Wi-Fi runs from the app without a central unit2. Automatic closing after a set time is a function of the drive, set up when it is commissioned1.
Scenes
A scene is a list of things your home does in order, written once1. Coming home, for example, can open the gate, open the garage, unlock the door, lift the blinds and bring the heating up. Leaving can close and lock everything; good night can check every entrance1.
A ventilate scene can tilt the bedroom windows for twenty minutes and stop the garage door a hand’s width open to air it1. Scenes are configured with you at commissioning1.
Access by person, not by key
Give access to the people you trust, for exactly as long as you choose: a window of time, or a number of uses, and you can take it back at any moment1. Family, a cleaner, a dog walker, a courier or guests each get their own access1.
The activity log keeps the last 30 days: what was opened or closed, when, and by what, whether the app, a remote, a code or a scene1. Notifications tell you about events such as a gate left open or a device operated with a remote1.
When the internet is down
Your remotes, keypads and wall switches carry on exactly as before. The app needs a connection to reach the house, and catches up when the connection returns1.
If the power fails, know how to open each product by hand, as your instructions describe3. Some garage-door drives take an emergency battery4.
Doors and gates you already have
Often they can be connected. It depends on the drive: current drives connect as they are, and an older drive can usually be replaced without changing the gate or the door1. We confirm this at survey1.
Windows are motorised with concealed actuators fitted to tilt-and-turn or terrace windows, and blinds use their own drive; suitability is confirmed opening by opening1. Heater control is planned around the heating you already have and its controls1.
Availability and privacy
The app is free for phones and tablets and is also available on the web; any optional services are set out in writing with your quotation1. It is being introduced region by region, so availability in your region and language is confirmed with your quotation1.
Access is tied to your account and to the people you invite, and you can remove anyone at any time. We share the current privacy and security information with your quotation1. One account can manage several places, such as a home, a business premises and a holiday house1.
