Futurehome

Android application for controlling your Futurehome!

For more information regarding how you can get your hands on Futurehome, please visit our website at https://www.futurehome.no.

Futurehome is a smarthome system which lets you control lighting, heating, alarms, doors, sun-screening, and many other home peripherals.

Futurehome currently supports a range of Z-Wave, Enocean and other connected devices within the home. We also have our own dedicated IFTTT channel which let’s you connect your Futurehome with hundreds of other services.

Lights
Easily adjust lighting and moods through our simple interface. Automate lighting based on motion or according to time of day. When you leave the house, go to bed or leave on vacation you can deactivate all the lights at once with one simple mode switch.

Appliances
With connected appliances you are always in complete control of how many devices are in use, where they are in the property and how much power is being used in each individual room.

Climate control
Automatic temperature adjustment can be implemented to ensure optimal comfort and energy efficiency. The system will use sensors to adjust itself and maintain your desired temperature during the day, at night the temperature will be reduced to save energy. Additionally, you can automatically reduce the temperature in a room if a door or window is opened – again saving on energy use.

Power consumption
Most of the devices we offer have built in power meters which report the amount of electricity being used. As a result you will always have a clear overview over how much energy your home consumes. With the power meter on the app dashboard you see real-time usage data, an estimated cost per hour and per month, as well as an indication of whether this is over or under your normal average consumption.

Security
Sensors alert you if there is fire, water leak or a break-in. You get notifications directly to your phone for all important events. With the right sensors in place you also have full oversight over doors and windows as well as motion detected in individual rooms within the property.

Weather forecast
In the weather widget you get localised weather information for the area you are in. We collect data from several different sources to give you accurate weather conditions and the forecast for the next 24 hours.

Modes and shortcuts
The Futurehome app let’s you easily switch between and adjust modes to suit your needs whether you are home, away, whether it’s night or you’re on vacation. You are in complete control of what you would like to happen in your home for any of these modes. When you go to bed at night you can set your house in sleep mode with a flick of a button, all your lights and appliances will turn off and the front door will lock automatically. You can also create your own shortcuts to run a scene or set a mood without affecting the current mode. Set the perfect lighting for a movie night or run the scene for breakfast in the kitchen in the morning, all through one touch in the app.

Users and sites
Access to your Futurehome and it’s functions can be granted to as many users as you wish. As the owner or administrator of a site you can freely invite new users and define what they should be able to control. As a user one can also have access to many sites at once and easily switch between them in the main menu. If the function is activated you will also receive notifications from all your sites regardless of which one you are currently using.

Statistics and timeline
Our backend systems log data and events continuously to maintain your sites’ functionality and to generate useful statistics over time. In the timeline interface you see a detailed, time stamped breakdown of all individual events that have taken place. In the Statistics interface we present power consumption, temperature and motion data displayed in graphs for daily, weekly, monthly and yearly time increments.
