Ratings and reviews

Update** 4/14/2026 After flashing to FW v2.011 the app does scan the NFC tag and connect the the device for setup. Looking forward to more products with these features and ease of setup if the firmware is ready out of the box. Used the app successfully at Automation fair 2025, but after buying new 5034 PointMax I/O for two projects, neither one of them worked for NFC setup. Made sure settings were enabled and restarted my device, but still not successful.

one tap and it connected to my 5034, full details of the device, and even could set the IP address. really looking forward to what RA will do with this platform.

Very useful for device configuration.
