Introduction
1Home is the bridge that connects your wireless and wired smart home devices.
Our mission is to merge both ecosystems of smart devices into one seamless
experience. Currently there are several smart devices that will eventually blend into
the smart home of the future. We want to truly define the term ‘smart home’ by
connecting wired smart homes such as Loxone, Gira and KNX and the world of
wireless IoT devices, that include smart assistant platforms (Google Home, Amazon
Alexa and Apple HomeKit). All that is done in 5-minutes and with no technical
knowledge.

Our products
With the Cloud solution you have the possibility to integrate Amazon Alexa and
Google Home smart assistant platforms. You can choose between a 1-year, 3-years
or a lifetime licence. You can set up the 1Home Cloud solution immediately all by
yourself.

10
Why would you want to integrate a smart assistant platform to your Loxone smart
home? Here are three main benefits to consider before deciding: a single mobile
app, automation and voice control.
Since Loxone’s own mobile app brings you a lot of benefits already due to its
user-friendly interface, you are already in a great position.
11
AUTOMATION
The best feature of the Loxone mobile app is the ability to create custom scenes
right from the app itself. While you can control what triggers your Loxone devices,
you can’t set up geofencing (geofencing is an automation triggered by your
proximity to a certain location), or include your wireless devices in these scenes.
With the smart assistant’s automation dashboard, you can, for example, set your
Roomba to start cleaning once you’ve left the house and activated the away mode,
and not buzz around while you relax on the couch.
12
VOICE CONTROL
13
Why would you want to integrate a smart assistant platform to your Gira smart
home? Here are three main benefits to consider before deciding: a single mobile
app, automation and voice control.
Having a home with a personality is just one of the gains that come with upgrading
your Gira home with a smart assistant and we will show you the rest. First off, we’re
aware that we aren’t the only solution, there are several; the most obvious is to buy
the S1 device from Gira (only works with Alexa, not Google Home and Apple
HomeKit), but keep in mind that it will cost you 2-3x the price of the 1Home Box
once you include installation costs - not to mention there is no support included in
the price which is necessary for you to truly benefit from the smart assistant
platform.
Alexa’s and Google’s mobile apps are comparable to Gira’s own mobile apps in
terms of UX, all of them are average, whereas Apple's HomeKit app offers a
friendlier interface and more features than both Gira X1 and Gira HomeServer mobile
apps. Not to mention the off the shelf secure remote control you can benefit from
with the help of Apple's Home Hub.
14
AUTOMATION
15
and Apple HomeKit support presence sensors, your location (geofencing) and
even a push-button being pressed as triggers. HomeKit offers the most progressive
automations out of the three smart assistants, even ones that get triggered when
everybody’s left your home’s WiFi.
VOICE CONTROL
16
Having a home with a personality is just one of the gains that come with upgrading
your KNX home with a smart assistant and we will show you the rest. First off, we’re
aware that we aren’t the only solution, there are several, but keep in mind that most
will cost you 2-3x the price of the 1Home Box once you include installation costs -
not to mention there is no support included in the price which is necessary for you to
truly benefit from the smart assistant platform.
Generally speaking, KNX doesn’t offer great mobile apps (apart from Control4 and
Crestron, which are substantially more expensive) due to the lack of
user-friendliness. You can thus heavily upgrade your user experience by migrating
to any of the smart assistant platforms.
17
Next to the great user experience, the biggest benefit is the single app which
centralizes control of all your wired and wireless devices. No more toggling
between apps if you decided to add wireless devices into your home. Once you
have integrated your wired KNX devices into the assistant app via 1Home, you can
jointly control countless wireless devices already supported by those platforms.
AUTOMATION
If you own a KNX based smart home and you haven’t learned ETS programming,
then there is very little you can do with your own smart home. For any simple
18
adaptations or changes you will need to waste time and money by having your
installer do it for you.
All of the above right from the comfort of your automation dashboard, without the
need to call your installer to set it up, let alone learn to program ETS for yourself.
VOICE CONTROL
19
Some people look at voice control as a gimmick, others find it a necessary
interface for controlling your home nowadays. The fact is that 1Home offers the
simplest and most accessible way to achieve that in a KNX smart home.
There are open-source solutions, but those take up a lot of time and knowledge to
set up and manage, as you need to adapt your code to work in sync with smart
assistants’ own updates. Those are usually projects that never finish.
20
Integrating a smart assistant mobile app (e.g. Alexa, Google Home or Apple home
app) into your wired smart home is one of the most future-proof upgrades that
guarantee your smart home remains smart further down the line.
All apps developed by the assistants are made with extreme attention to building a
friendly user experience, letting you take control over your home and centralise all
your devices under one roof. Some apps are better at achieving this than others, and
not all mobile apps support the same device types provided by the wired smart
homes (Loxone, KNX, Gira, etc.) This is why we’ve prepared an overview of what
devices you can expect to be integrated in your assistant mobile app.
The biggest issue that all smart home standards have in common is that they don’t
communicate with each other. Meaning that as you buy new wireless devices, you
won’t be able to centrally connect them with your wired devices. This will soon
make you use 5 different mobile apps to control each device in your home. What is
21
then the point of having a smart home if you can’t control all of your devices from
a single mobile app or automate all of thems (e.g. When I activate away mode, then
close the blinds, turn off the lights and stop the music playing on my Sonos. / or
When you buy that one missing Philips Hue or IKEA light you still want to be able to
turn off all the lights at the same time etc.. There are as many examples as there are
different IoT devices - thousands and thousands).
We will be presenting each assistant mobile app based on UX, and
supported wired and wireless devices.

Keep in mind...
Now you know everything smart assistant mobile apps can do for you, but keep in
mind this is a much more dynamic space than the wired smart home world.
New devices are being launched weekly, there are frequent releases of new
features by the smart assistants and they are regularly improving their data privacy
standards. We follow all that so you don’t have to. Keep your eyes peeled for
updates in our monthly newsletters, you can subscribe HERE.

Automations make your home work for you in such a way that your devices switch
on based on a pre-set trigger. No human interaction needed for pushing the buttons
or saying the command. It’s one of the main characteristics of a smart home. Your
installer has already made some automations, routines or scenes for you as soon as
you move in, but they are usually not customisable and your lifestyle is deemed to
change when you move into your brand new home. Or you will find out new ways to
automate your home that you hadn’t thought of before.
Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa and Google Home’s mobile apps upgraded this
experience to the next level.
70
Amazon Alexa assistant has a whole dimension of Alexa Routines in their mobile
app. Their mobile interface is fairly simple and intuitive to use, so anyone can create
a Routine in the Alexa mobile app. Here’s how:
1. Tap the menu button in the top-left corner, and select Routines.
2. Select the plus (+) button in the top-right corner to add a new routine.
3. Now you can select a trigger for a routine to start.
● Time
● Device
● Location
● Alarm
● Echo Button
71
Trigger: Time
To schedule device triggers at a specific time, click “Schedule” and choose the
desired time. You can also pick a flexible point in time such as sunrise or sunset,
which are especially useful for automations with lights. See below:
72
Trigger: Device
To trigger devices when another device is on/off, click “Device” and choose the
status of the device that will trigger other devices.
73
Trigger: Location
To use geolocation on Alexa, click “Location” and specify when the device will
trigger. After you define the geofence, the devices will be triggered when you enter
a specific geofence or leave it. You can set a home or work address, or define a
specific address. The size of the geofence can be modified as you wish.
74
Trigger: Alarm
To trigger devices when an alarm is dismissed, click “Alarm” and specify what
happens when an Alarm is missed. You can also suppress the routine and Alexa will
wait before running the routine again. Don’t forget to first select the device that gets
triggered when an alarm is snoozed. Note: some actions require a smart speaker to
be defined (for example music, news, Alexa says, …).
75
76
If you own an Echo Button, you can use it to trigger devices or routines. Click “Echo
Button” and specify what happens when the button is pressed.
77
Then you can pick among several actions that get triggered when one of the
trigger happens:
● Smart home: You can choose an action for any of your smart home devices
connected to Alexa. You can even trigger scenes or multiple devices you
want to include into the same series.
● Wait: add a delay between the executed actions. Great for creating a nap
automation.
● Music: play a specific song, artist or playlist either from Amazon Music,
TuneIn or your music library. Note: You can also set the duration.
● Calendar: read my calendar for today.
● Traffic: Alexa will report traffic for you. Great for complementing your
morning routine.
● Weather: Alexa will report the weather, also great for morning routines.
● Messaging: Announce a custom message on the Echo or send an
announcement to the Alexa app.
● And many others.
78
Google Assistant currently only offers home automations triggered by voice. Since
automations are where the smart home industry’s headed and it will be exciting to
see how Google will handle their automations in the future.
To speed up their development, the Google team is always happy to receive user
feedback and feature requests. You can do it simply by saying “Hey Google, send
feedback.”
79
80
Apple Siri offers the widest array of smart home automations as well as extensive
device compatibility with HomeKit. In order to be able to create HomeKit
automations, a HomePod, Apple TV or iPad needs to be set-up as a home hub. Find
out how here.
Before you start, we suggest updating your device to the latest version of iOS.
Siri shortcuts
With iOS 12 or later, Siri Shortcuts let you control your HomeKit devices as well as
execute actions form your favourite apps (playing music, fitness apps, to-do lists or
routing apps, taking notes, playlists, setting up your morning routine). Siri learns your
routines across your apps and then suggests new ideas to perform common tasks.
You can select a shortcut from the Gallery in your Shortcuts app, or create your
own.Customized shortcuts can be created from the apps themselves or in the
Settings menu.
81
Apple HomeKit lets you program your devices in two ways, with Scenes and
Automations. Having two approaches can be confusing because they essentially
allow you to do the same thing. The difference is that you activate scenes through
Siri with voice control, but you don't do anything to activate automations.
Automations let you set it and forget it based on triggers you establish through the
Home app. If you keep this distinction in mind, it will be much easier to know when
to create a scene instead of an automation and vice versa. Keep in mind that
automations, once brought to KNX or Loxone, offer a tremendous value. For every
adaptation you would’ve had to program ETS before or call your installer, you can
now simply do it yourself in the HomeKit’s automation dashboard.
82
To create automations, tap the Automation tab in the Home app, and “Create new
Automation”.
83
Trigger: Time
84
Trigger: Accessory
85
Trigger: Location
Read further on Geofencing (location-based routines) for Apple users. These
routines can be triggered when you or another member of your family arrive or
leave your home.
Trigger: Button
Sneak Peek into the future: with our upcoming Apple certified product, your regular
wall switches could be programmed to trigger devices or device groups. Different
actions can also be programmed for a single or double press.
86
You can pick among several actions that get triggered when one of the above
happens:
Now that you’re the master of smart home automation, here are some ways to
implement them in your daily life:
● Use your phone’s alarm, that, if snoozed, triggers the bedroom light to slowly
turn on and get brighter over time.
● If any lights are on when you leave the house, they go off when you leave the
preset geofence.
● If you come home after sunset, some lights turn on to give you a little lighting
when you open the door.
● When you’re on vacation, you can have a few automations with lights to make
it look like you’re still home.
● Before taking a nap, call “Siri, Naptime! And all of the lights will turn off, your
iPhone will be set to Do Not Disturb mode for one hour and it sets a
30-minute timer.
● Have a Bedtime routine that turns off all the lights in the house.
● Trigger your welcome home routine while you enter a preset geofence.
● Let your contact sensor trigger a notification when there is bad weather and
your windows are opened.
87
Geofencing
Currently only Amazon Alexa and Apple HomeKit smart assistants support
geofencing, a location-based routine that lets you tie multiple smart home actions to
your phone’s location.
AMAZON ALEXA
To begin creating routines, open the Alexa app for Android or iOS, tap the menu
button in the top-left corner, and select Routines. To make the location-based
routines work, you'll first need to give the Alexa app access to your location. Once
you've done that, you can set up routines or reminders that will kick in when you
cross over a geofenced location - like turning off your lights when you walk out of
the door.
To add a new routine, hit the + button in the top-right corner.
When you select "when this happens" you’ll see five options:
● Voice: Triggers the routine with a phrase of your choosing, such as “Alexa,
goodnight”
● Schedule: Triggers the routine at a specific time on specific days (including
just weekends or just weekdays).
● Device: Triggers the routine through a supported contact or motion sensor
(this currently requires a 1Home Box or Echo Plus Hub).
88
● Arrive or leave: Uses your phone’s geolocation to trigger a routine at
home, work, or a specific address.
● Echo Button: Smack one of Amazon’s push buttons to trigger a routine
Choose "Arrive or leave" from the list of possible triggers and follow the on-screen
prompts.
● Alexa says will make your Echo say something out loud. This can either be a
custom phrase or one of several preset utterances, such as a joke or a
salutation.
● Calendar will have Alexa read the current day’s agenda, tomorrow’s
schedule, or just the next event.
● Device settings can adjust Alexa’s volume, stop audio playback, or toggle Do
Not Disturb mode.
● E-mail will make Alexa read your email summary.
● Messaging can either send a custom notification to the Alexa app, or
broadcast a custom message to Echo and Fire TV devices.
● Music will play a song, artist, or playlist from your choice of Amazon Music,
Spotify, iHeartRadio, Pandora, or TuneIn. (If you don’t see all these options,
sign in first through Settings > Music in the Alexa app.) You can also set a
timer to make the music stop automatically after a while.
● News will have Alexa read your Flash briefing, which itself can be customized
through Settings > Flash Briefing in the Alexa app.
89
● Smart Home can control your smart lights, locks, thermostats, and more,
assuming you’ve set them up with Alexa already. (If you’ve created any
Groups under the Devices tab of the Alexa app, you can also control
everything in a given at once.)
● Traffic will have Alexa read a traffic report, assuming you’ve set up commute
details through Settings > Traffic in the Alexa app.
● Wait will make Alexa pause for a given amount of time between actions. This
one is extremely useful for creating a nap routine, setting up smart coffee
machine after waking up or emulating double button presses for garage
doors.
● Weather will make Alexa announce the local forecast.
90
Thanks to an update from Amazon, Alexa devices can perform time- and
location-based reminders as well. If you set up a reminder based on location (e.g.
"Alexa, remind me to take out the trash when I get home”) , Alexa will provide it to you
on cue. If you're not near an Alexa device, you'll get a push notification through the
Alexa app.
91
● “Alexa, remind me to take the laundry out of the dryer when I get home.”
● “Alexa, remind me to defrost the burger meat when I get home.”
● “Alexa remind me to check the mail when I get home every Wednesday.”
● “Alexa, remind me to print the concert tickets when I get to the office.”
● “Alexa, remind me to pick up groceries when I leave work.”
● Set up a routine that kicks off automatically when you arrive home:
- turns on the lights
- sets the thermostat to your preferred temperature
- Alexa says “Welcome home!”
- Turns on your favourite playlist
92
APPLE HOMEKIT
When all family members and their phones have traveled out of the designated
geofence area (your home), the geofence can set the alarm, adjust the thermostat,
turn off all the lights and unnecessary appliances, even lower the blinds. When any
family member returns, the reverse can happen: lights on, heat or AC back to the
comfort setting, outside lamps on. So that your family members can come and go
at will, the smart home will take care of the rest with geofencing.
Before you start make sure that the following settings are turned on for the primary
iOS device which controls your smart home:
● Share my Location: Go to Settings > Privacy > Share My Location. Make sure
the option is enabled and that “this device” is selected
● Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services. Please check that on your iOS
device the Home App has permissions to use your Location
● Please check that under Privacy > Location Services > System Services >
Homekit is turned on
93
1. Select “Automation” in the Home App and click the plus sign (+) to add a new
automation
2. Choose when you want the automation to occur: When people arrive, when
people leave. You can also specify an alternative Location or another time.
3. In the next step you will be able to select which scenes and which
accessories to automate. Tap next.
4. You can also adjust an accessory by pressing and holding on it.
5. Tap Done to create the automation. Here you can also test it and specify
when to turn it off.
94
Voice control
DEVICE NAMING
Have you ever wondered how to remember controls for the interface without a
screen - the voice interface? The answer is having short and intuitive device names.
Otherwise your assistant may not be able to understand you or even worse, you
won’t be able to memorise the commands. Avoid the assistant’s error message
“There are multiple devices with that name.” and make the device names short and
sweet.
This is why we have prepared this simple formula to let you turn that one light on.
There are two options to name your devices in a way that makes it easy for you to
memorise and your assistant to understand:
1. Focus on the location of the device and define: room name, position and device
name.
2. State the activity that this device supports and define: activity and device name.
95
Having this logic behind single device naming will help you memorise the
commands effortlessly and you’ll be able to control any device separately if
needed. Mind that you don’t have to rename all of your devices, just the ones you
will actually control on their own - and won’t use through groups or routines.
Now that you have successfully named your smart devices, you are ready to enjoy
your home’s fullest potential with the hands-free dimension of voice control.
96
Dim a Light:
"Alexa, dim <light>"
"Alexa, decrease <light>"
Brighten a light:
"Alexa, brighten <light>"
"Alexa, increase <light>"
97
● warm, warm white, incandescent, soft white, white, daylight, daylight white,
cool, cool white.
Other useful commands are the ones for turning all the lights in a room on/off and
dimming them. Users of Amazon Alexa should create a Group in the Alexa App.
Devices of a specific room should be added to this group as well as the Echo, which
is in the room. If the Echo, which is in this room, hears the “Alexa, turn off lights”
command, it will turn the lights of that room on. The naming of the devices and the
room name is not important.
98
99
Toggle/Invert Commands:
Some of the users mentioned, they would like to change the way the ON/OFF
commands work for the blinds. Currently your blinds will open, when you say "Alexa,
turn off <blind>" and close when you say "Alexa, turn on <blind>".
Other commands, like up/down, querying the status of the blind or setting the
position of the blinds by a certain percentage stay the same.
100
¹Please note: This command changes the mode to auto heat/cool mode. In order
for this command to work, the Smart home has to support auto mode.
101
to switch back to the automatic mode, please set the thermostat to
heating/cooling mode as mentioned above.
Temperature sensors
“Alexa, what's the temperature of <temperature sensor>?”
“Alexa, what's the current temperature of <temperature sensor>?”
102
mobile app. In this case, the naming of these devices doesn’t matter, while the
Room name of course does.
Users of Amazon Alexa should create a Group in the Alexa App. Devices of a
specific room should be added to this group as well as the Echo, which is in the
room. If the Echo, which is in this room, hears the “Alexa, turn off lights” command, it
will turn the lights of that room on. The naming of the devices and the room name is
not important.
103
D'autres commandes qui peuvent s’avérer utiles sont celles qui permettent
d'allumer et d'éteindre toutes les lumières d'une pièce et même de les atténuer. Les
utilisateurs de Amazon Alexa peuvent configurer les lumières de cette commande
en les affectant (en les ajoutant) à une pièce spécifique. Vous pouvez le faire grâce
à l'application mobile Amazon Alexa. Dans ce cas, la dénomination de ces
périphériques n’est pas importante, contrairement au nom de la pièce.
104
Diminuer un store
"Diminue le <store>"
105
Afin de rendre ces commandes plus intuitives, vous pouvez les inverser. En disant
"Alexa, ferme les <stores>", le store se ferme. Vous pouvez y parvenir en cliquant
simplement sur l'icône en forme de pignon dans l'application 1Home et en
sélectionnant "Inverser les commandes Ouvrir/ Fermer".
106
Augmenter/diminuer la température de tous les thermostats * sur Alexa pour 1
degré
"Diminue la température de <Thermostat> "
"Augmente la température" *
"Baisse la température" *
"Diminue la température" *
Une autre commande utile est celle qui permet d'activer/désactiver toutes les
scènes d'une pièce. Pour les utilisateurs de Amazon Alexa, configurer l'éclairage de
ces commandes est aussi simple que de les affecter (les ajouter) à une pièce
spécifique. Vous pouvez le faire grâce à l'application mobile Amazon Alexa. Dans ce
cas, la dénomination de ces périphériques n’est pas importante, contrairement au
nom de la pièce.
107
108
109
Para usar estos comandos debe crear grupos con Alexa. También se recomienda
añadir un dispositivo Echo a cada grupo. De esta manera podrá controlar sus
dispositivos Smart Home sin memorizar el nombre del grupo. Por favor siga las
instrucciones para aprender cómo hacerlo: Cómo crear Alexa Grupos [en inglés].

Other useful commands are the ones for turning all the lights in a room on/off and
dimming them. Google Home users can set up the lights for this command by
assigning (adding) them to a specific room. You can do that with the Google Home
mobile app. In this case, the naming of these devices doesn’t matter, while the
Room name of course does.
115
Toggle/Invert Commands:
Some of the users mentioned, they would like to change the way the ON/OFF
commands work for the blinds. Currently your blinds will open, when you say "Hey
Google, turn off <blind>" and close when you say "Hey Google, turn on <blind>".
116
In order to make these commands more intuitive, you can invert them. When
saying "Hey Google, turn off <blind>" the blind will close. You can achieve this by
clicking on the cog icon in the 1Home App and select “Invert Open/Close
commands”.
Other commands, like up/down, querying the status of the blind or setting the
position of the blinds by a certain percentage stay the same.

CREATING GROUPS
Groups enable you to arrange devices into groups and control them as a single
entity.
With your smart home devices associated with specific rooms, the assistant will let
you accomplish more with fewer words. Rather than commanding “Turn off living
room light 1, turn off living room light 2, turn off living room light 3.” you name the
room Living Room and then say “Turn off living room lights.” to turn everything off at
once.
Better yet, if the assistant you are speaking to is in the same room as your smart
lights, then you can add it to the same group as the lights. Then all you have to say
is “Lights off” and the assistant will understand the association and turn off the
correct lights.
131
5. Please note: You can also add your Echo as a device - this way you can
control the room without using its name (Alexa, turn the lights off -> as
opposed to Alexa, turn the Living room lights off)
6. Select the name from a set of predefined names or choose your own custom
name. Tap “Next”.
7. The new group will appear in your Groups section.
132
The first time you connect your Google Home smart speaker in the mobile app, the
wizard invites you to set-up your devices and assign them to Rooms.
While adding devices to rooms, why not add your Google Home device to one of
them also?
This way, you don’t have to use the Room name, only the command. A Google
Home device in that room will understand that you’re speaking to it.
133
You can move just one of the devices to a different room by tapping on the
specific device:
134
With Siri you can not only define Rooms, but also group them together into zones,
like upstairs or downstairs. To start, please open the “Home” app on your iDevice.
If you are connecting HomeKit with Voxior for the first time, you can add devices to
rooms during the onboarding wizard.
135
Now it’s time to add some smart home devices to it, just follow the instructions
mentioned above.
136
CREATING ROUTINES
We also use our homes in a similar way every day. Routines (called Scenes in
Apple’s Siri) are a great way to blend our home with our routines in a seamless way.
Streamlining mornings and investing the saved energy into the day ahead.
Unless you’ve dug deep into the settings menu of your smart assistant, you might
not even know about this most powerful feature!
Example: when you command “Reading mode on.” and head to your favourite couch
to read, the corner light turns on and the blinds go down to create the perfect
environment to enjoy a book. Orchestrating several devices to perform a sequence
of actions is made easy with the use of Routines.
For the most comfortable use of your home, we advise using routines to simplify
and automate some of the actions that you do regularly every day. These Routines
can be triggered by your voice, at a certain time or when you arrive home. The
Routines can also run at specific times without voice commands, effectively turning
your speaker into a high-tech alarm clock that can wake you up with music, news
and smart home automations.
137
● Good night (turn off lights, blinds down, play calm music for 20 minutes)
● I’m home (turn on living room lights, lock the doors, play music)
● I’m cold (turn up the heat for 5 degrees)
● Drop the beat (start playing lively music, dim the lights)
● Help me focus (turn on the do not disturb mode on phone, play white noise)
● Dinner Time (call everyone to the dining room, set lights to 100% brightness)
138
1. Tap the menu button in the top-left corner, and select Routines.
2. Select the plus (+) button in the top-right corner to add a new routine.
3. Now you can select a trigger (when should a routine start).
In Alexa you can choose between different categories: voice command, time,
geolocation, ...
4. After that, please select an action (what should the routine do)
Here you can choose between controlling Smart Home devices, or control other
categories: calendar, messaging, music, news, traffic and weather reports, what
Alexa says, changing the Device settings or making Alexa pause between different
actions.
As an example, when you say “Alexa, dinner time” - the Alexa will announce the
dinner is ready, turn on the lights in the living room and start playing chill music on
Tunein.
139
140
Creating your first routine with the Google Assistant requires a few more steps than
with Alexa.
1. Open the Google Home app and tap the “Routine” button
2. Add the voice command you would like to use (one or multiple).
3. Add actions which you would like to execute (turn living room lights on, set the
thermostat to 20 degrees.
141
5. Save your routine and start with a voice command or by tapping it in the main
dashboard.
142
Routines are called Automations in Apple’s Home app and they provide similar
features as Routines.
1. Tap the plus button in the top-right and select “Add Scene”.
2. Tap “Custom” to create your own routine.
3. Select the name you would like to use (for example “Dinner Time”. Tap “Add
or remove accessories” to add new smart home devices.)
4. You can change the predefined value of the Smart Home devices (e.g.
brightness of a light, turning it on/off) by tap & holding the device.
5. Select “Done” to create a new routine. You can find it under “Favorites” or in
the “Default Room”
1. Go to the Home app and tap the Automation tab at the bottom-right corner
of the screen.
2. Tap the plus (+) button in the top-right corner.
3. Tap “An Accessory is Controlled” (or tap “A Sensor Detects Something”, if
you have a motion sensor device).
4. Select the accessory that you want to trigger the automation and tap “Next”.
5. Choose the action that triggers the automation, such as if the device turns
on or off. (On this screen, you can also choose a time of day when the
143
automation is active, or base it on when someone is home or not). Then tap
“Next”.
6. Select the previously made scene (or a single accessory) that get triggered in
response to the action.
7. Tap “Next” and “Done”.

COMPATIBLE SMARTWATCHES
While many people know that a smartwatch does a great job tracking health and
fitness, it can do a lot more. In fact, your watch is a great option for controlling your
entire smart home.
Please note: At the moment, smartwatches can’t run apps without help from a phone
as the watch mirrors what’s already on your phone. That means that you can’t add
devices to create and edit scenes or customise automations, but that’s not a big
downside as the watch truly shines with its quick and simple interactions.

Since Apple Watch has the best integration with their HomeKit platform, they offer
the most diverse usage combinations.
For instance, you can view a live feed of HomeKit-supported cameras and even
communicate with those that are near your camera by speaking through your
watch’s microphone.
Since the Apple Watch was designed for quick interactions, only the devices and
scenes that you have set as favorites in the Home app will be displayed on your
147
wrist. Make sure to set your most used devices are set as your favourites in the
Home app in order to see them on the watch face.
1. Start your 1Home free trial at www.1home.io if you aren’t our user yet.
2. Connect your smart home server and a smart assistant.
3. Have smart assistant mobile app installed and set up on your smartphone
(Amazon Alexa app for Alexa, Google Home app for Google and Home app
for Siri)
4. Connect your compatible smartwatch with your smartphone
(see the list above which watches are compatible)
5. Try saying your first command, such as “Siri, turn on all lights.” 💡

COMPATIBLE SMARTPHONES
Want to control your Loxone, Gira or other KNX smart home from anywhere in the
house, but your smart speaker is located in the living room and can’t hear you from
the kitchen?
No problem!
A voice assistant is actually a software in the smart speaker, and it can also run on
your smartphone!
You can control everything under your roof just by tapping on your smartphone or
saying a command. Centralised control brings controlling your lights, blinds,
thermostats and locks straight to your hand, wherever you are.
149
Note: some smartphones have the Alexa Built-in functionality, which means that they
can quickly access Alexa with the wake word “Alexa”, instead of pushing a button.
These are marked with an asterisk*.

SONOS SPEAKERS
There was a time when filling every room of your home with music meant trailing
wires everywhere.
Not anymore.

tethered by cables.
With wireless multi-room speakers, your audio can be controlled simply by the
touch of a button or even better, the sound of your voice.
Imagine the luxury of combining great audio with lights and blinds, and on top of it,
have the ability to control this whole package with your voice. I know a few ways to
impress guests with smart homes and that one is high on the list. Follow this guide
to see how easy it is to control your sound system together with lights and blinds to
create the perfect party ambience.

device, then associate it with the Google Home app (see how).
● Name your Chromecast Audio device 'Sonos' so you’ll be able to command
“Hey Google, play music on Sonos.” (How to rename Chromecast). If you have
several speakers, name them by the room they are located in.
● Connect an audio cable between your Chromecast Audio and the Line-In
port on the back of the Sonos speaker.
● If you have AutoPlay for Line-In enabled, you can now command “Hey
Google, play Jazz on Sonos.”. If not, select Line-In from the Sonos Browse
menu and then say the command.

IKEA TRÅDFRI
IKEA has launched their smart home product line as early as 2012 with a couple of
smart bulbs and the LIVBOJ wireless charger. But their smart home devices didn’t
become a household name until the summer of 2019, when they’ve updated their
TRÅDFRI mobile app and added plenty of smart home devices such as the new
FYRTUR blinds and SYMFONISK speakers.
TRÅDFRI lights are a great and cheaper alternative to Philips Hue lamps, and other
products can easily compete with other high-end smart home products such as the
Yeelight LED bulbs, Somfy blinds, Lutron Serena, and others.

Keys are so 20th century, are you ready to go keyless in 2019? 😁 A smart lock
offers both security and flexibility, and installing a retrofit lock is a small upgrade to
your regular lock but makes life so much easier.
Smart locks not only keep your home safe and secure, but they can also be
controlled remotely and allow you to easily give other family members or friends
access to them if needed. You can be notified when people get home, let people in
without a key and generally have more control over who comes and goes in your
home.
☝Protip: Installing a smart lock in an apartment you’re renting (e.g. with Airbnb)
makes your host experience easier than ever. You can grant access to your guests
anywhere, anytime without worrying about keys being stolen or duplicated.

What's cooler than using a mobile app for controlling your home? Controlling it
with your voice.
Convenience is a big part of the appeal of smart home tech. From doing the chores
for you to keeping your hands free, smart home technology shines the most when it
succeeds in putting time back into your day. And having more time for the things
that matter is far from just convenient, right?
You can stop searching for the different mobile apps and experience a truly
connected home that you can control from a single interface. Use voice, the most
intuitive interface and control devices of every type. Say a single command to
trigger your non-smart AC, and TV together with your smart lights and switch on
Netflix all simultaneously.

enjoy hands-free control of all the things you love and even create routines.
For example, a “Good Morning” routine can play your favourite playlist, raise the
blinds, set the lights, and adjust the house temperature to start your day.
The following devices (produced by major manufacturers) can be integrated by
the Harmony Hub:
● Televisions
● Projectors
● AV Receivers
● Satellite Boxes
● DVD and Blu-Ray Players
● Game consoles
● Smart thermostats (Nest, Honeywell, Ecobee, ...)
● Smart window shades (Lutron Caseta, Hunter Douglas, ...)

Smart security starts at the front door and having a video doorbell is a great way to
upgrade your smart home and gain control over who’s at your driveway.
Amazon Ring Video Doorbell is a quick and easy solution that lets you see, talk to,
and record people who come to their doorsteps. Ring’s low-cost security devices
are part of the fastest-growing segment of smart devices, with shipments expected
to grow about 21% every year through 2023 (Source: Market research by IDC).
Given the insane pricing policy on intercoms by the wired smart home
manufacturers, Ring is a great alternative with the price heavily slashed. Plus it’s
wireless and easy to set up.
181
Ring was acquired by Amazon in February 2018 and has since then been integrated
with all Amazon’s services, including the Amazon Alexa smart assistant. This is why
Ring and Amazon are a match made in heaven and are a pleasure to use together.
Since Google and Ring (owned by Amazon) are in competition with each other when
it comes to smart doorbell products, Google has gone out of their way to make
Google Home compatible with Ring. So you can add your Ring Doorbell to a Google
Home smart speaker, but its abilities are somewhat limited (e.g. you can’t view video
from your Ring doorbell, but you can do these things:
182
Ring has been promising HomeKit support for almost four years now, and the wait
might finally be over as they did a HomeKit self-certification for their Video Doorbell
Pro and Spotlight Cam.
(Note: they will still need a full certification from Apple before it’s truly HomeKit ready.
Some other manufacturers like August have done the self-certification step for their
doorbell and still not shipped support. Fingers crossed that won’t be the case for Ring.)
