The Busch-free@home® Next app offers 4 areas between which you can switch back and forth using the lower control bar:

HOME

Here's a quick overview of what's going on at home:

- The “Status” tiles show you how many lights are on, how many shutters are open and whether windows are open. For example, the light can be switched off directly with a short tab on a tile.
- The “Weather” window shows you the weather data from your free@home weather station.
- The “Next switching times” window shows the two functions that will be switched next using the automated time program. The event can be suspended once using the slider. All switching events for the next 24 hours are displayed via a tab on the switching time overview.
- The “Favorites” are a collection of individually selected functions. The selection is made by setting the “star” symbol. The function can be carried out directly by clicking on the small blue symbol at the top right of the favorites tile. A tab on the main area of ​​the tile opens the function in full-screen view, which offers even more setting options.

The order of the functional areas can be changed using the “Edit” button at the bottom of the home page.


STEERING

Here you can access all devices in your free@home installation. Optionally sorted by function or by installation location (switching is done using the switch at the top of the page).



AUTOMATION

All automated processes you have created, such as timers, scenes and actions, are listed here.

timer
Existing time programs can be activated/deactivated (and new time programs can be created in the future).

Scenes
Scenes can be started by tapping the blue icon. A tab on the main area of ​​the tile opens the scene in full screen view.

Actions

Actions can be activated/deactivated and edited. In conjunction with a myBUSCH-JAEGER remote access, geofencing actions can be created with which actions can be triggered based on entering or leaving a previously configured location.
The data is sent directly to the connected system access point via the end-to-end encrypted channel and therefore cannot be evaluated by Busch-Jaeger.
