Example:
Since the bedroom is on the first floor, we will use a sub-consumer unit. The power supply and the evonHOME controller are placed into the main consumer unit and the bus extension and the module for the bedroom in the sub-consumer unit. Both consumer units are connected to each other with the bus cable (CAT5) and the 24V power supply cable.

Before your activate your evonHOME app, make sure you are connected to the same network as your evonHOME controller. Simply go to the WLAN settings on your device and check the currently selected WLAN, or connect to the correct one.

Once you have successfully installed the app via the AppStore, the app is located on the home screen. You can start the app directly from here. After a short time to load the app, you will see the start page of the app.

From here, search for the available evonHOME systems. The selection is either a connection via a local Wi-Fi/WLAN or the internet (e.g. mobile network provider via a secure HTTPS connection).

The evonHOME app will now search for all system in your network. As soon as one or more have been found, they will be displayed along with their allocated IP address. Your new system will be listed with the default name evonHOME + unique identification number (e.g. evonHOME_1234AB9). You can change the name later, if your wish.

Once you have selected your evonHOME system, the next thing you must do is login.

After selecting the evonHOME system, you will find yourself on the login page.

Enter your username and password. You can also determine whether you wish in future to login automatically with your login data.

To make it easier for you to login to your evonHOME on your first configuration, there is also the option to do this by using a QR-code. Use the green button on the top right corner of the login screen to use this feature.

Point the camera at the QR-code, which you will find in your enclosed documents, and position it at the center of the marked area. once the QR-code ist successfully recognized, the associated login field will be filled in.

You have now successfully connected to your evonHOME system and can start to control your home.

Besides accessing your evonHOME system with the official app, you can also connect to it with any modern browser (e.g. Chrome, Safari, Edge). You only have to know the IP-Adress (Which is displayed in the app once your system is found).

When you enter the address in the url bar of your browser, you will be directed to the login page, where you will have to enter your credentials. You can then use your evonHOME system like you are used to.

Activate the function for external access in the settings by placing a tick next to it.

As soon as you have activated the function, the displayed status changes from “not connected” to “connected” and the evonHOME ID appears. This ID is required to connect you to your evonHOME system. It is a good idea to write this ID down, you will need it in the next step.

This evonHOME ID gives you the ability to access your system from a normal web browser (via
my.evon-home.com).

Return to the main screen. On the top left is your current username. If you click on it, the logout button will appear. Logout via this button.

You will now be on the start screen of the evonHOME app, which shows a list of all your previously connected systems.

Click on “new” to create a new connection. You will now see an overview of all possible connection types, as described previously.

Select “internet” as the connection type. You must enter the evonHOME ID in the next screen, along with your username and password. When done, connect via the button at the bottom of the screen.

As soon as you have successfully connected to your evonHOME system via the external connection, this connection will appear on the start page of your evonHOME app. You can now easily select this connection at any time.

Once you activate the external access, you can connect to your evonHOME system from every supported browser (Safari, Chrome, Edge).

Go to the website my.evon-home.com and login with your credentials. In addition to your user name and password, your will also require the evonHOME ID, which you received by activating the external access.

Once you have logged in, your username is displayed at the top left of the screen. Clicking on your username opens a menu where you can logout.

A single click on the symbol (top right) opens all apps. This shows you all available apps. If you don’t want “all apps” open all the time, you can put frequently used apps into your favourites, as follows.

Favourites lets you store apps that you use on a frequent basis.

If you want to add something to your favourites, mark the app (press the app with your finger/your cursor until a blue bar appears below) and select “add to start”.

If you want to remove something from your favourites, mark the app and select “remove from start”.

Marked apps can also be moved and sorted.

After the favourites are your areas. First up are your floors (ground floor and first floor in the diagram) and below that your areas and rooms. However, only those areas that contain something are displayed. For example, if a light is added to the room “bedroom”, the bedroom will be displayed.

This is the basic representation of every app in the system. A single click/press on this display opens the app view and its functions can be used and/or changed.

As long as you have an app open, you can also open its view. This shows you all content and functions that are available to you. In the case of the light app, the items displayed include all connected lights and the group functions.

The group function can vary from app to app, but is mainly used to create new elements or to operate several available elements. Taking the app “lights” as an example, it can be used to switch all available lights on or off. In other cases, such as “user”, you can add new users.

This display represents a single element in the app. In the case of “lights” every single one of your connected lights is displayed like this. The display is divided into several individual sections, each one serving a different purpose. The area on the left contains operating elements in the form of one or more buttons that you can use to control the element (e.g. light on/off). Then there is a text area containing information such as the name and the allocated area. On the right, many apps have a status display showing you the current status of the element. Fo lights, you can see whether the light is on or off, or (if the energy saving mode is active) when the light will be switched off.

Clicking /pressing the text area of an element opens the settings screen where you can change the app name, allocated areas and functions as you wish.

This display offers you various information and settings possibilities for the selected element and is divided into several sections. On the top right are small buttons that let you jump into other areas. The first section contains the most important operating elements via which you can operate the selected element and, depending on the app, various items of basic information.

The second section contains the settings that you can change for that element. These allow you to change the behaviour of individual element to suit your needs.

This section shows you al the links for your element. This gives you an overview, should you desire it, of which switches or functions affect the element. You can also link the element with other elements, depending on the app. For example, in the app “lights”, you have the possibility to link a light with a motion sensor.

In the settings view, most of the apps have a button on the top right allowing you to access the official documentation.

In order to add rooms, areas and floors to your evonHOME, simply tap on the corresponding element (e.g. “add room”). This automatically opens the operator panel for the added element. Enter the name into the field “name” and an abbreviation in the field “abbreviation” for the room. If you want to allocate this new room to a floor, simply select the floor you want. If you want to move the area back to the highest level, select the empty entry in “area, floors”.

Alternatively you can first navigate to a floor and add a room there.

If you wish to personalize your rooms, you can select colour, icon and background picture for your room. Do this by opening the operator panel for the room via in “settings” – “areas, rooms” and select the element under “settings” and modify it.

Open the area via the button “edit” and view the elements for this area. If you want a shortcut to an area, simply click on the area of the symbol in the object panel (left).

You can also link each room with a room thermostat. Do this by allocating an element to this room in the app room climate. If you have allocated more than one room thermostat to a room, you can use the parameter panel of the room to select the room thermostat you wish to use for the room temperature display.

Open “lights”, “blinds” or “room climate”, depending on the items you wish to modify the names and rooms.

The app shows you a list of central functions and below that a list of your elements – this corresponds to the channels of your evonHOME modules. More detail concerning the central functions can be found in the corresponding documentation.

Tap on the area that displays the name and the room, in this case “ no name”, “no room” to open the settings for this device.

Enter the name of the device in the field “name”. You can type any name in here, or use a predefined name by tapping on the small arrow.

Tap on the field to select a room. The system already has a predefined few names that you can use. If you cannot find a suitable room in the list, create one in the settings -> areas and custom rooms.

You do not need to specifically save your changes, simply tap on the arrow symbol in the menu bar.

You can add a new user here or configure an existing one. To add a new user, simply select “add user”. This opens a panel where you can enter the user name and an optional description. Enter a password for the user so that you can login using the username.

The settings can be modified for a user group that already exists, or a new one can be created. To create a new user group, click on the element “add group”. This opens a panel where you can enter the name of the group (e.g. “guests”), and assign colour and an icon.

You can switch a light on or off via the “power symbol” on the left side. The right-hand side of the panel shows you whether the light is currently switched on or off. Clicking on the element takes you into the extended operation or configuration of this light. You can switch the light on or off by clicking on the bulb symbol.

If you have a dimmable light, you can switch in on or off via the object panel. Of course, you can also control this dimmable light via the operator panel by setting the circular slider around the light to the desired value.

Switch on with
If you want this light to be switched on as soon as another is switched on, then use the function “switch on with”. The button “select” lets you select the other light you wish to link to this one.

Bewegungsmelder/Taster hinzufügen
Further presence detectors or buttons can be defined in one light channel to control the light.

The function of the linked button or presence detector depends on the autonomous light function, i.e. whether the button or presence detector mode has been selected.

Daylight-lock-delayed switching
To configure the daylight lock, navigate to settings and select lights. You can adjust how many minutes after dusk you want the daylight lock to be deactivated and how many minutes after dawn you wish the daylight lock to be activated. In other words, if your evonHOME registers dusk at 8pm and you have set 10 minutes, then the daylight lock will be deactivated at 8:10pm.

You can open or close your shading element using the arrows in the left-hand side of the object panel. The right-hand side of the panel shows the current position and the angle of the blinds.

You can also operate each blind element via the operator panel by using the sliders on the right and on the left, or dragging the point in the middle of this window to the desired position. If you have defined a favourite position and wish to use it, simply click on the button “go to favourite position”.

Connect with
If you want two shading elements to always have the same position and slat angle, then use this “connect with”. Navigate to “connect with” and press “select” to choose the shading element you wish to connect to.

Mode
Short button press – completely up: If the blinds button is pressed for a short period of time, then the blinds will travel in the desired direction until either the blinds are fully open/closed, or a further press of the button causes them to stop where they are. A long button press sets the angle for the slats, i.e. after a wait time to correctly identify a long button press, the blind slats begin to turn until the button is released.

Short button press - set slats: A short button press changes the angle of the blinds and a long button press completely opens or closes the jalousie. A second button press interrupts the travel and the jalousie stops where it is.

Over-travel time
The over-travel time lets you define the percent of time to increase the time that the jalousie takes for completely UP to completely DOWN. This makes sure that the blinds are really open or closed.
