The ConnectSense app provides a premium Apple HomeKit experience. This aggregator app can control and monitor the ConnectSense Smart Outlet as well as any other HomeKit device. From creating and activating everything from Scenes to Rules, this app is a one-stop-shop for all of your home automation needs.
5. Room
Management
Rooms allow you to create
rooms in your home and
group HomeKit accessories
together that are located in
that room.
6. Zones
Zones allow you to group
together rooms in logical
groups. These zones can
then be addressed by Siri
and commanded together.
7. Service Groups
Service groups allow you to
classify services (Lights,
Outlets, Locks, etc) into
smaller subsets so they can
be commanded by Siri.
8. Scenes
Scenes allow you to
command multiple devices
at once. Scenes can be
commanded by Siri using
their name. The four scenes
featured to the right are
included by default for every
user.
9. Scenes
When setting up a scene,
you can set the state of all
your HomeKit devices to the
desired state when this
scene is activated.
10. Rules
Rules allow your home to
truly automate itself. There
are two types of rules, Timer
and Event-based rules.
11. Timer Rules
Timers allow you to set a
schedule for a Scene to
activate. These can be
repeated Daily, Hourly,
Weekly or Monthly.
12. Event Rules
Event-based rules allow you
to set up "If-Then"-type rules
based on the state of the
devices in your home. In this
example, we setting a
trigger for when our Smart
Lock is Unlocked.
13. Event Rules
We then set a scene to run
when this event is triggered.
This is selected in the
“Then” section.
14. Event Rules
Additionally we can add
“When” constraints to only
fire this rule at certain times
or other devices are in a
certain state.
15. Event Rules
In this case, we have added
a Solar Event as our "When"
constraint. Here, the rule will
only fire After Sunset.
16. Event Rules
Now, this rule will
automatically run the “I’m
Home” Scene when we
unlock our Smart Lock after
Sunset.
17. Users
Within the settings menu, you
can invite other Users to share
your home. This is as simple
as adding a family member's
iCloud ID to invite them to
your home. Once accepted,
they can access and control
all your HomeKit accessories.
18. Tips
Siri voice control is one of
the killer features of
HomeKit. Within the Tips
section we have included
some phrases you can use
to control your Smart Outlets
and other devices.
