The mobile app is the field tool: it commissions devices, controls them on site and diagnoses without getting the laptop out. This manual walks through all twelve menu items, one at a time.
For the overall picture — how the app and the console divide the work — see the SIT-IoT manual.
Home
The entry screen. Everything else opens from here, and anything demanding attention shows at a glance.
Overview
Your fleet in figures: how many devices are online, how many offline, how many are provisioning right now, and how many projects you have.
This is the screen to check first thing: if the offline count climbed overnight, you see it here before anyone rings.
Control
Where you operate things. Pick a project and its devices appear, each with the controls that belong to it:
- Switches — on and off, per channel.
- Brightness — for dimmers.
- Cover — open, close, stop, with its state (idle, opening, closing).
- Inputs — the state of the buttons wired to it.
The controls are drawn from what the device says it can do, not from its model name. Which is why a new unit turns up with the right controls without waiting for an app update.
Provisioning
The commissioning wizard, and the main reason this app exists. The run-through is:
- Select the devices to commission. You can chain several in a row.
- Scan for Wi-Fi networks from the device itself, not from the phone. That detail matters: what counts is what the unit can see from where it is mounted, which rarely matches what your phone sees in your hand.
- Enter the password for that network.
- Assign the device to a project.
- Provision, and read the results.
Access to the unit can be over Bluetooth LE, the device’s own access point, or local Wi-Fi, depending on the model.
During the process you also choose the output profile, which decides how the unit behaves:
| Switch | Standard on/off switching. |
| Cover | Roller blind, curtain or shade, with open/close behaviour. |
| Light | Lamps or dimmer-type loads. |
| Input | The device is used mainly to sense, not to switch. |
Picking the wrong profile is the commonest reason for “it doesn’t work”: a unit in switch mode driving a blind does exactly what it is told and nothing you expected.
Projects
Create, edit and transfer projects from the phone. Each project is a client or a site, and it is the unit that devices and permissions belong to.
Devices
The full inventory, with filters. Search for a particular unit by name, id, type, owner or firmware version — handy when you need to find “the ones still on the old build”.
Observability
The deep dive. Pick a project, explore its inventory, and from there drop into one device’s message history.
The figures it summarises: total devices, online, recently seen and unassigned. That last one deserves attention — an unassigned unit is one that was commissioned and never placed in its project.
This is the diagnostic screen: when a client says “something is odd”, here you see the actual data flow instead of guessing.
MQTT
Administration of MQTT users: creating them, seeing their client ids, passwords and ACLs — the permissions saying which topics each may read or write.
In normal use you never need to touch this: commissioning a device mints its credentials by itself. This screen is for your own integrations, when you want another system reading the same telemetry.
Network
Network profiles for assigning fixed IPs in bulk. You define a label, the subnet in CIDR form, the gateway, the DNS and the address range, then hand out IPs to a batch of devices in one go.
This is what turns a fourteen-device installation from an afternoon into one pass. With no profile defined, bulk assignment is not available.
Billing
Your current plan, usage against its limits — projects and active devices — and what it includes. From the phone you can read it; changing plan opens the web console.
Profile
Your details — name, phone — and the app’s language: English, Spanish, or follow the system.
Resources
Quick access to manuals and product references from the phone itself, without going hunting. Meant for when you are stood at the board and need to check a figure.
Getting the app
It is on Google Play. It works with Gen2, Gen3 and Gen4 devices, as well as SIT-C3 units.
