Summary

The ACRE release is here, and it's packed with goodies! Enjoy (heart)  


  • New Scenes feature: Inside the new page Home Automation there is a tab called 'Scenes'. Scenes are a set of actions and can be triggered either by an automation or by manually pressing the Scene button on the Dashboard.  
  • New Members page & Presence feature: A new page and function has been added called Members. The page is found in the side-menu and there you can add new members to your Heart. If these members have logged in to your Animus Heart before, their phones will appear in the Members page and you can connect a phone to a member to use it for Presence detection. Presence is detected when a phone gets in or out of the same Wi-Fi network as your Animus Heart.  
  • New Primary Functions feature: Inside the settings of a device, Primary Functions can be found. Primary functions are the functions you wish to have displayed directly on the device-card.  
  • Multiple Homes: If you have more than one home, or want access to multiple homes, you can add them to the same account. All homes will appear on the 'My Homes' view after login. Changing home is done from the side-menu.     
  • One account: Local or Remote, the apps only require one login account now. You login with your Animus Cloud account on the app and the app switches automatically between local/remote.      
  • New Secure PIN authentication: First user who installs the Animus Heart will be the admin of that Heart. This person will receive e-mails with a verification code whenever a new user wants to connect to that Heart. 
  • Z-Wave: Upgraded to new Z-Wave firmware with improved stability. This version is irreversible, meaning once updated you can't go back to a previous version.
  • RF433: Thermometer devices on 433MHz will automatically show temperature value directly on the device card. With the new Primary Functions feature you can also decide to show other values like Humidity directly on the device-card.  
  • Https: Also enabled for local communication. Notice! Is self-signed and requires you to accept the certificate in the browser.  
  • Philips Hue: Improved bug, bridge did not show as offline when bridge was offline. Also improved automatic IP renewal and other bug-fixes. We are still waiting for the Hue-bridge to release API for sensor events before we release it to you.  
  • IKEA Trådfri product support: You can add the IKEA Trådfri Gateway to Animus Heart and control lights, switches and blinds (FYRTYR, KADRILJ). Remotes and other sensors are not supported due to limitations on the Trådfri bridge.
