About this app

Control your connected home, based on the VIEW IoT smart systems, with a simple, user-friendly interface: all the functions of a smart home are at your fingertips from the first power-on and in complete safety, once you have entered your access credentials, generated on the VIMAR Cloud portal. The App does not require any configuration because it inherits the programming already performed by the professional electrical installer with the various configuration tools of the various systems installed in the building (VIEW Wireless or By-me Plus, By-alarm, Elvox video door entry system, Elvox cameras).
The functions managed using the VIEW APP, both locally and remotely, are: lights, curtains and roller shutters, climate control, electricity (consumption, production and anti-blackout), music and audio, video door entry system, burglar alarm, cameras, sprinkler system, sensors/contacts (e.g. for technical alarms), advanced logic programmes and scenarios for centralised control of all smart functions. Everything can even be controlled by means of smart speakers!

Using the VIEW APP, you can freely create scenarios, customise a favourites page for direct access to the most frequent functions, using operating system widgets to manage simple actuations without opening up the APP, customise climate control and sprinkler system programmes with maximum flexibility, manage users and permissions associated with the system, add control of Philips Hue system light bulbs and LED strips, and select the push notifications that you want to receive.

From answering the video entryphone, to controlling the temperature of the home: any function can be conveniently controlled remotely from a single interface, whether in your own home or anywhere else in the world, thanks to the security guaranteed by the Vimar cloud.

The interface is organised to allow user-friendly browsing by function (“Objects”) or by environment (“Rooms”): popular icons used in the main operating systems, customisable labels and swipe gesture controls help to make the Vimar home automation system extremely user-friendly.

The App works only in association with the home automation/video door entry/burglar alarm gateways present in the system and only features the functions that the respective gateways make available (for details, please refer to the VIEW App user manual available on the Vimar website in the Download/Software/VIEW PRO section).

Ratings and reviews

Works most of the time, but confusing UI, slow loading (takes 5-10 seconds just to connect to open your door), and stupid maintenance periods during which you can't open your door or operate the app. Crazy stuff.

Poor quality app tbh. Bad UI, doorbell video and audio last just a few seconds (why?!?!) and the Android widget doesn't work, no matter what. You should really start focusing on your software cause this really sucks and feels quite amatorial.

there's still a major issue for months now, the app can't stay running in the background, the previous vimar app was able to ask for background service to stay running , this app doesn't which cause all incoming notifications / calls to be missed making the app useless. I have been waiting for this app to work for more than 2 years now and still notifications are not popping when someone rings , what's the point of the app where the only main feature is not working

What’s new

• for By-me Plus systems:
• with the View Pro APP, the installer automatically becomes a basic user to use the View APP (scenarios/parameters)
• new scenario activators according to the brightness/wind/rain thresholds of the weather station (art. 01546) and according to the presence in room status (for hospitality)
• thermostat button lock, available from settings and usable in scenarios
• new video door entry ringtones: also added those of the new View Touch supervisors
