Using apps
There are apps for Android phones and IPhone to remotely control your Ontech units.
In the Android app the functions are completely integrated and is not showing the SMS created or
received. All the settings can be changed and modified in the app. The Android app can also handle
up to twenty different Ontech GSM main units.
The IPhone app requires you to confirm the SMS and is pressing the send button manually. The
receiving of the SMS happens manually and the information cannot be read into the app
automatically. The change of settings is made through the iPhone internet browser (Safari).
Both apps are compatible with the Ontech GSM main units and older versions.
Important. The apps are using SMS and the price for these are according to your mobile
subscription or prepaid card.
