Notifications

What are notifications?

Notifications are messages that are sent from the installation to a touchscreen, smartphone or tablet. We distinguish between:

  • push notifications

  • informative notifications 

Notifications can be part of certain routines, or you can create notifications as you like using conditions.

Notifications are available in both installation types, bus and traditional wiring. Depending on your installation type, the possibilities may differ.


Difference between push and informative notifications
