1. Real-Time Control

The app must provide instant control of connected devices—like turning off lights, opening doors, or adjusting room temperature—with zero lag.

2. Two-Way Synchronization

Changes made on the physical panel should reflect instantly on the app, and vice versa. This keeps your system consistent and avoids duplication or conflicts.

3. Scene Management

Apps should allow for custom scene creation—like “Good Morning,” “Away Mode,” or “Movie Night”—that triggers multiple devices simultaneously.

4. Remote Access via Cloud

With cloud integration, you can control and monitor your system from anywhere in the world. This is essential for vacation homes, rentals, or on-the-go lifestyles.

5. Security & Role-Based Access

Control panel apps should allow multi-user management with different permission levels—perfect for families or businesses with varied user needs.
