Pages

The interface selection is based on pages that can be swiped left and right. A page can either be the favourite, settings page or custom pages. Pages have an image header providing more visual information to a page. A page could be used to segment rooms, areas, a specific purpose or anything else that makes sense to you.

Groups

A custom page consists of one or more groups. Groups are a set of entities that can be defined by the user. Groups are another way of organizing entities. A group can be configured to have a group switch, this switch can turn on/off every device within the group at once.
