Scenes are used to quickly set affected devices to predefined state. A scene can be set with the Scene Controller or from the HIQ application.

Scenes are user-defined memory that include lights, dimmers and blinds. Each output is either defined by the scene (on/off, lightness and position), or not affected.

Scenes may be defined by the Scene Controller (long press will remember actual state of affected devices in scene memory), or by the HIQ Configurator (graphical scene editor).

Local control

Devices can be controlled by locally installed push-buttons or by local panels (scene, thermostat).

HIQ Applications

HIQ applications allow device management and set-up of HIQ controllers.

Special events which are performed automatically. Events are based on HIQ Commander application, which must be installed on user smartphone.
