In this article, you will discover the architecture of the Ampio UNI application, learn the basics of managing your installation and find out what possibilities are hidden behind each of the app’s sections.

What is the Ampio UNI app used for?

With the use of the Ampio UNI app, you can control the devices that communicate with your building automation installation not only from the comfort of your home, but from any place in the world. Don’t know if you switched off the iron? Now you can do it via the app. Ampio UNI allows you to create scenes, which means that you can change the settings of all household devices with a click of a button, preparing your house for holidays, a party, nighttime, Sunday morning, etc.

The application allows you also to create automation functions and not to worry that you will, for example, forget to water the garden. The only thing you will have to do is plan the automated garden watering. Many other operations can be automated dependent on e.g., time of day, sunrise/sunset, particular event, etc.

Let’s dive into Ampio UNI, and discuss all the functions available in specific sections.

DASHBOARD - welcoming you into the app

DASHBOARD allows you a quick access to the most important functions. You can access devices there that have been added to the dashboard view. Also, by going to _Account->Personalisation->Dashboard, you can edit widgets displayed in the dashboard, such as the weather, or a calendar.

If all options are activated, you can check on the left side of the top bar whether your connection is a local one, or if you are connecting through the cloud. If you lose a local connection, the application will automatically redirect you to a cloud connection. The right side of the top bar, on the other hand, provides you access to messages. More information about messages can be found in the Automation in the Ampio UNI app guide.

PLACES - control devices in a given room

The PLACES tab divides your installation into separate spaces, which makes the management of all devices in a building more intuitive. Places are not restricted to specific rooms, such as kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom. A place can also be defines as, e.g. the 1st floor, ground floor, or garden.

Opening the PLACES section will show you a list of predefined places. Selecting one of those places will then open a list of devices linked to it. If any visualisations have been uploaded, it will be possible to manage the devices both, in a visualisation mode and in a list mode. If there is no visualisation uploaded, a list of devices will be the default view. You can switch over from a list to the visualisation by clicking on the change view button in the top right corner. The button will only be available if a visualisation has been added.

FAVOURITES - get most frequently used functions in one place

In the FAVOURITES section, you will be able to create your own list by adding devices with the + button in the top right corner. At any time you will be able to edit the FAVOURITES section and add new devices or delete old ones. Deleting a device from the list is possible by opening the device settings menu. This can be achieved by clicking on the three dots on the right side of each listed device.

SCENES - great automation possibilities

Ampio UNI allows you not only to regulate individual devices, but also to create SCENES that enable the control of multiple devices with one click of a button, or make your smart installation run on a schedule. More information on the subject can be found in the Scenes in the Ampio UNI application.

ACTIVE - check what devices are on in your building

As the name suggest, you can check here what devices are currently ACTIVE. From the dropdown list, select whether you want to see all active devices, or only devices from a specific PLACE. You can also switch off individual devices, or all devices listed on the screen by clicking on the power button in the top right corner.
