App description:
This Smart Home app makes it possible to configure and operate your free@home system. It transforms your house or your apartment into an intelligent companion. Whether blinds, lights, heating, air conditioning, door communication or light scenes. You can call up all functions individually - whether via switch, voice control or app from your smartphone and tablet.

Prerequirement for the use of the app:
The app only works with a free@home system installed in your home. It must be integrated in your home W-LAN to provide access for your mobile devices to free@home.
Initial commissioning for the professional:
Your PC/laptop/tablet must be located in the same W-LAN as the free@home System Access Point. If this is the case, jump to “Start of the free@home app”. If the System Access Point is not connected with your home W-LAN via a patch cable, establish a direct W-LAN connection to the free@home System Access Point. Check whether the left LED on the System Access Point lights up green. If necessary, press the left button and wait until the LED lights up green permanently. Then select the W-LAN connection with the name "SysAPxxx" in the network settings of your PC/laptop/tablet. The security code necessary for this connection is available on the backside of the cover of the System Access Point. Your PC/laptop/tablet will now connect itself directly with the System Access Point.
