What it does
Device Status Summary
This gives you a quick count of your switches — how many are working, ON, and OFF — without opening each room.

•Unreachable Devices — the total number of devices not responding right now.
•Turned ON Devices — how many switches are currently ON.
•Turned OFF Devices — how many switches are currently OFF.
Current Switch Status (in detail)

•🟢 Turned ON — Shows the total number of switches that are ON right now.
•⚪ Turned OFF — Shows the total number of switches that are OFF right now.
Shortcuts (Scenes, Switches and Remotes)
Shortcuts put your most-used scenes, switches, and remotes right on the Home Page. You don't have to open each room — everything is one tap away.
The 3 types of shortcuts
•Scene Shortcuts — Run a full scene (many devices at once) with one tap.
•Switch Shortcuts — Quick ON/OFF for your favourite switches.
•Remote Shortcuts — Instant access to your AC or TV remote.
Real-life examples
•Before sleeping, you glance at the Home Page and see "5 Turned ON." You realise the balcony and bathroom lights are still on, so you switch them off from the app.
•One morning you see "2 Unreachable." You check and find the kitchen switch lost Wi-Fi after a power cut — so you know to reconnect it.
•Instead of opening many rooms every morning, you set up:
•Bedroom Lights → Switch Shortcut
•TV / AC → Remote Shortcut
•"Good Morning" → Scene Shortcut
Now your whole morning routine sits on the Home Page, and you control it with one tap each.
