I. Add a level and change the name to e.g. Floor 1, this page will be accessible in the iphone by scrolling down from the main view.

II. If you add an extension page it will be the page to the right, this page will be accessible in the iPhone by scrolling to the right from the main view.

You are able to move Levels and Rooms in the treeview by Drag&Drop.

In the middle you have the Attributes box with a list with all the configurable pramaters for the selected widget (as name, knx addresses etc.). There are "More Settings" option available for most widgets with optional attributes. Usually you don't need to configure these additional attributes.

On the right side you have the Application preview with landscape and portrait view of the selected page. Most time you will work with the big landscape preview. You are able to add buttons/widgets by pressing an open spot in the page and to select buttons/widgets to change their attributes. On all the pages you are able to add/select buttons, value label and name label in header of the page. In addition to that you could configure the two custom symbols in the upper left corner on the first page (and its extension pages).

Furthermore you could move buttons to another spot in the page by Drag&Drop. You could do the same in the small portrait preview on the right side to create a different button layout for the page in portrait orientation.

Starting from v1.02 iBEMI offers the Secure PIN feature to avoid unauthorised access to profile functions. Users need to enter a PIN to get access to these protected buttons/rooms. Ones the PIN is entered the profile is unlocked and the secured functions can be used. When the iBEMI App is send to the background or closed, the User again would have to enter the PIN to unlock the profile.

The PIN which is used for a profile is set in Profile Settings. However, it could be easily changed later on in the App Settings in Change PIN section.

A button is secured by checking PIN Secured option in its attributes under More Settings. For rooms you find this option at the Room Link button on the level page.

Note that the PIN is restricted to digits for iPhone/iPod - iPad allows alphanumerics.

The Value Label is placed in the upper right corner on each page in the App. In the iBEMI Profile Editor it is configured by pressing the corresponding field in the preview of the page. You can choose from several different Data Formats in the attribute box. The Value Label has to be configured according to the chosen Data Format. You find all the possible parameters for the different Data Formats in the following table.

You could set a Unit which is shown with the value in the app for all Data Formats except Time and Date. There are default Units for Data Formats Temperature [°C], Brightness [Lux], Windspeed [m/s], Energy [kWh] and Power [W].

There are two symbols in the upper left corner which you could control through a 1bit KNX Address. Configuration of this symbols is very simple: you just need to click a symbol in the preview and choose an icon and set the KNX Address which status the symbol should adapt to. The KNX Address is polled to get the current status so the address should be set as readable in ETS.

Buttons with function Switching should be connected to a KNX switch actuator. You can select 1bit commands (ON/OFF/TOOGLE) that should be sent on button press or/and button release.

The button could show the current status of the connected actuator. The button is adapting state from KNX group address which is entered at entry KNX Address for status indication. This feedback address could be polled - if polling is chosen, KNX Address should be set as readable so that current state could be fetched by the app.

You are able to add a Switch Object (1bit) to this function to switch dimming actuator ON and OFF. In this case, the selected dimming value is sent on long press of button - short press is assigned to switching action. The time interval before performing dimming action could be set at "Time between switching and dimming" under More Settings. You could show the current status (ON/OFF) of the connected actuator. The button is adapting state from KNX group address which is entered at entry KNX Address for status indication. This feedback address could be polled - if polling is chosen, KNX Address should be set as readable so that current state could be fetched by the app.

You could set Telegram Repetition option to send multiple telegrams as long as button is pressed. At Telegram Repetition Time you could set time interval in between the telegrams.

Dimming darker by

You can enter KNX feedback address to fetch dimming value. The value at this address is stored for this button. If there is no feedback address available, you should enter address of "KNX Address value" here. There is a checkbox to set whether this address should be polled or not. Note: If this KNX Address should be polled, the address should be marked as readable in your ETS project.

Buttons of function Shutter Control should be connected to a KNX shutter actuators. You could choose either operation mode Move-Step or Step-Move-Step.

The button could indicate the current status of the shutter actuator through the buttons border or through shutter icons. The button is adapting state from KNX group address which is entered at entry KNX Address for status indication (or KNX Address for controlling the icons - find more information below). This feedback addresses could be polled - if polling is chosen, KNX Address should be set as readable so that current state could be fetched by the app.

On button press buttons of function Value Transmitter are sending a certain value to a given KNX group address. There are several different Data Formats available for the sending value. The default Data Format is Lightscene.

On button press a control window is opened that shows buttons to control your heating system through KNX Datapoint Type HVAC Mode (DPT_HVACMode). You can choose if you would like to have five or four control buttons. In four button mode the Auto button is missing.

The current status of your heating is indicated through the icon on the button surface.

This button function is used to work with RGB controllers. On button press a window is shown where you could pick a color and store favorite colors. There are two different Data Formats for transmitting the color value over KNX: "1 byte Components" and "3 byte Color". With "1 byte Components", the three 1 byte color components are transmitted in three separate telegrams - with "3 byte Color" all components are transmitted in one telegram. The latter Data Format should be preferred if available.

You are able to add a Switch Object (1bit) to this function. In this case, the popup window with the slider to set color is prompted on long press of button - short press is assigned to switching action. The time interval before showing RGB control view could be set at "Time interval before showing control view" under More Settings. You could show the current status (ON/OFF) of the connected actuator. The button is adapting state from KNX group address which is entered at entry KNX Address for status indication. This feedback address could be polled - if polling is chosen, KNX Address should be set as readable so that current state could be fetched by the app.

This button function is used to send a time value (DPT_TimeOfDay). On button press a window is shown where you could pick a time. The time is sent directly after picking it.

You are able to add a Switch Object (1bit) to this function. In this case, the time picker popup window is prompted on long press of button - short press is assigned to switching action. The time interval before showing time control view could be set at "Time interval before showing control view" under More Settings. You could show the current status (ON/OFF) of the connected actuator. The button is adapting state from KNX group address which is entered at entry KNX Address for status indication. This feedback address could be polled - if polling is chosen, KNX Address should be set as readable so that current state could be fetched by the app.

This button function is used to send a date value (DPT_Date). On button press a window is shown where you could pick a date. The date is sent directly after picking it.

With this button function a value at a KNX Address is shown on the button - or, with Data Format "1 bit Status", the status is indicated through the border of the button. There are several different Data Formats available with this function.

Room Link buttons are placed on the level page - every room link button is representanting a room in the level. If you press this button in the app you are navigated to the corresponding room.

If you select a Room Link button in the iBEMI Profile Editor, you could set the name of the room and you are able to select an icon for the room link button. Under More Settings you also find an option called PIN Secured: If you set this option the content of the corresponding room would not be shown in the iBEMI app - you have to enter the PIN first. The PIN is set in Profile Settings but it can also be easily changed in the iBEMI Settings later.

Room Link buttons can't be moved directly on level page, you could move the room page in treeview to do so though.

 Button: Dimming, Value Transmitter and Indication & Value Label

iBEMI and iBEMI Light both offer you a wide range of customization to create your very personal remote control for your home! To change the appearance of your APP go to section Style in the App Settings. Here you find six different premade styles to choose from:

Gradient		Solid		Pattern
Images		White		Custom

Style selection Image and Custom provide the possibility of further customization. With style Image you have to press Add Images at the bottom to add your own background images to your room pages.

With style Custom you are completely free to create your own personal style. You find two options Edit Global Style and Edit Single Pages at the bottom to make your own composition. If you press Edit Global Style you will see the general style settings which apply to all pages and buttons in your profile. In the first section Colors you can modify the 20 color references which will be available for this profile and which you can choose from in the entries below (e.g. button color). With Edit Single Pages you are able to modify the appearance of single pages and buttons in the profile (- so that they look different from the style for the whole profile which you set in Edit Global Style). So if you want one certain button to be red and not blue as set in Edit Global Style you press Edit Single Page, navigate to the page where the button is and change the button color through the BUTTONS menu.

Custom Style Notes:

Custom Style is stored per profile: The Custom style is saved in the profile. So if you make changes to the custom style for one profile and you then change the profile, this profile will look different when you select Custom in the Style page. Reset Custom Style will reset all the parameters in the Style Setup for the current profile to the factory defaults.

Saving Global Style: When you press Save in the Style Setup (Edit Global Style) you will be prompted a pop-up window with two options: Keep Custom and Apply To All. When you press Keep Custom, the changes that you might made before through Edit Single Pages (like changing the color of one button in the profile to red) will not be affected. So in this case this one button from before would remain red (side note: if this color reference was not changed in the global style). If you press Apply To All, the global style for the profile will be applied to all buttons and pages. Changes you might have made through Edit Single Pages would be gone.

Profile Sync Warning: With Edit Single Pages you are able to change names and icons of rooms and buttons. So if you change the name of a room in the profile this is stored locally on your iDevice. In this case if you sync your profile, there will appear a pop-up window asking whether you would like to keep the room name which is stored locally (option: Keep Local) or if you would like to change it to the name which is stored in the original profile online (option: Update from Server). 

Starting from version 2.0 iBEMI includes a great KNX Bus Monitor which helps you analysing and improving your KNX installation. The Monitor comes with a Filter tool, Send Message feature and you are able to save logs and send them via e-mail in ETS compatible format. Furthermore there is a special Long Time Recording mode available to capture large numbers of telegrams.

Defaultly the Bus Monitor is added to the app. However, you can disable it for a profile in its Profile Settings to simplify the App Settings - Bus Monitor would not be listed there in this case. To access the Bus Monitor you need to set "Add Monitor to title bar" option in the App Settings (Note: This option is not available if Bus Monitor is disabled for the loaded profile as described before). Back in the App you then open the Bus Monitor through dragging down the title bar. You start recording telegrams by pressing Play button in the title bar. On the bottom bar you find three buttons for filtering log, sending message and saving log features. By dragging up from these buttons you will dismiss the Bus Monitor and come back to your profile.

By pressing the Filter button on the left hand side the Filter menu will appear. This menu enables you to filter easy and fast for the content you'd like to see. There is also a fast filter function: if no feature is selected (neither Filter nor Send Message feature) and you select one message in the log, all messages with this KNX Group Address are highlighted - when you press the filter button, all the other messages are filtered away. It has never been so easy to track one KNX actuator!

The intuitive Send Message menu makes sending telegrams from 1bit switch value to 14byte text or a read request really simple. Tip: If you select a message in the log, the Send Message engine is adapting the attributes of the selected message. Try it out!

In the Monitor you can access the message details by pressing the blue disclosure button on the right hand side. Here you are able to set a name and a KNX Datapoint Type not only for this message but for all messages with the same KNX Group Address. The Datapoint Type is set in section Data Format. Please note that it cannot be set at read request messages.

In the Monitor log you are able to set names for group addresses so that you can easily allocate telegrams. In the Monitor setup you can select whether the button names of your currently loaded profile should be shown in the Monitor log for the corresponding KNX Group Address (that is the address of the button) or you could select blank name fields. This option is selected default and it is called Loaded Profile, the second option Blank won't assign any names to addresses initially. In both cases the name for an address could be customized in the telegram details.

The standard recording mode is limited to keep 5000 messages at a time. However, in the Monitor setup you find an option called Long Time Recording. The Long Time Recording mode is made to capture large numbers of messages. In this mode the interface of the Monitor is slightly changed to reduce system load and the log is directly written to an output file for higher reliability. Due to the same reason, the Send Message feature is disabled and also the Filter function is simplified. In Long Time Recording mode the Monitor window is showing the received telegrams ordered by group address. For each address it is printing the number of received telegrams plus the content of the last received telegram. In this way you also get a great overview of the current status of your KNX.

Note: Please notice that the monitor is only recording when the app is active. So make sure to turn Off Auto-Lock of your iDevice when you want to record over a longer time period.

If the iBEMI Demo Profile is loaded, you are easily able to configure the eight widgets on the first two pages in the profile to your needs.

The configurable widgets are the ones on the first page (the two big buttons + the value in the upper right corner) and the five widgets (four buttons + the value in upper right corner) on the extension page to the right hand side of the first page. In the Demo Profile the KNX system is defaultly connected through KNXnet/IP Routing.

You can configure these widgets to your needs with the In-App Configurator which you find in the App Settings under iBEMI Demo Setup. See the chapter below for detailed information.

The widgets on the first two pages of the iBEMI Demo Profile can be easily configured with the In-App Configurator. You find it in the App Settings under iBEMI Demo Setup. 

If you want to change the connection type to KNXnet/IP Tunneling, you have to enter the IP Address or URL of your KNXnet/IP gateway in section KNX Connection. The Multicast IP address for KNXnet/IP Routing can't be customized in the iBEMI Demo Profile.

The widgets of a page can be configured in the respective page section. Page 1 is the first page with the two buttons, Page 2 its extension page which is placed to the right hand side of the first page. In section Top Bar in the Page setup you are able to configure the value which is displayed in the upper right corner of the page. In the Demo profile you are limited to either show a temperature or a brightness value there.

In section Control Elements you can configure the buttons of each page. In the Demo profile you can choose from button function Switching, Lightscene and Dimming (1 byte) and adapt the different attributes to your needs. To keep it more simple and intuitive not all the parameters are listed that you could configure for the same element in the iBEMI Profile Editor. (e.g. for button function Dimming you can't set a separate KNX Group Address for feedback of value)

Don't forget to press Update Demo in the iBEMI Demo Setup page to apply the changes you made.
