Controlling lights and blinds with your cell phone

trivum offers a user interface with music control, but lighting control via KNX is also possible. Control objects are defined in the trivum Home Control interface and are accessible on separate pages. It is easy to switch between music selection and control of KNX devices without having to use additional software.

What problem does HomeControl solve?

If your home is equipped with a KNX system and a trivum SoundSystem, you will certainly want to control music and light conveniently via your iPhone or Android device - with just one app. The trivum app makes it possible: it combines "Music Control" and "Home Control" in one user-friendly application.

Our focus with "Home Control" is on simple and intuitive operation. The aim is not to map a comprehensive and complex KNX control system, but to make it easier for you to control the most important functions. Whether you want to switch lights on and off or dim them - the trivum app makes this basic control effortless.

The best thing about it: it's easy to set up and you can do it yourself. If you know the group addresses of your lighting objects, you can configure everything yourself - without the need for an electrician or the expensive and complex ETS Windows software. This gives you full control without any additional effort!

How does trivum implement HomeControl?

HomeControl is an integral part of the trivum app and can therefore be used free of charge on all browsers as well as on iOS and Android devices. All you need is a trivum SoundSystem - regardless of the model. All our systems are controlled by the powerful t3OS operating system, and HomeControl is seamlessly integrated into it.

The trivum app offers two sections: "MusicControl" and "HomeControl". You can easily switch between the two areas via an icon in the top right-hand corner. In HomeControl mode, you can see the rooms and KNX objects (such as lights and blinds) defined in the setup and control them directly from the list - e.g. switch a light on or off with a click.

Thanks to the direct KNX integration of your trivum SoundSystem, the commands are executed immediately and the status messages are displayed in real time in the app. This gives you full control over your home. All in a single app!

Advantages of HomeControl

The two main advantages of trivum KNX integration and HomeControl
  1. Integrated and free of charge: KNX integration is already included in all trivum systems - there are no additional costs.
  2. Easy to configure yourself: You can set it up completely yourself as long as you have received the group addresses for your KNX installation from your electrician and have some technical knowledge.

In addition, HomeControl scores with fast response times and a modern, attractive design that makes operation even more convenient.

How can you customize HomeControl?

The setup is very simple via the web setup. All you need is a web browser and the list of KNX group addresses for your installation. You can obtain these from your electrician.

There are numerous ways to customize and configure HomeControl. To keep things clear, here is a list of the objects that you can configure and then control:

  • Light control: On/Off, Dimming, RGB, RGBW, Tuneable White, HSV
  • Control blinds
  • Control climate
  • Control heating
  • Integrate webcams
  • Define timers
  • Display values
  • Display weather data
  • Define rooms
  • Use macros, UDP, TCP, HTTP requests,...

You can call up our online demo system to see for yourself how simple and versatile the configuration options are.

What restrictions does HomeControl have?

  • For HomeControl to be fully utilized, a KNX installation must be available that is connected via a KNX router or interface.
  • HomeControl is not intended as a comprehensive KNX visualization, but offers quick and easy control of the most important functions.
