Dashboard

After successfully logging into the nomos system Controller, you are directed to the main dashboard view, which offers a variety of functions and settings.

Room Management

• Rooms: Displays an overview of rooms to which devices are assigned. Devices not assigned to a specific room are placed in the default room. For example, weather information can be integrated, showing Weather Current, Weather Today, Weather Tomorrow and Weather Day After Tomorrow.
• Zones: Allows the creation and organization of different physical or virtual areas of the project (e.g., ground floor, upper floor).

Automation & Control

• Automations: Define automated processes based on specific events or conditions.
• Variables: Variables can be used within the system to store states or values utilized in automations and scenes.
• Scenes: Create scenarios that control specific sequences and events, such as executing automations or switching devices (scene button located at the bottom right in the app view).
• Schedules: Enables the creation of schedules for various actions and automations within the system.
• Functions: Extra abilities of the controller that connect nothing, but evaluate what is already there — presence detection, for one.

Connectivity

• Skills: Lists all standardized communication protocols that can be fully integrated into the nomos system Controller.
• Cloud: Access cloud-related settings and integrations for remote management (nomos-Cloud/Alexa/Google Home).
• Remote Access: Configure settings to enable or disable remote access to the nomos system Controller.

Communication & Security

• Notifications: Allows the creation of individual notifications (email/push/log) triggered by desired scenes, functions, or automations.
• Cameras: Integrate and manage camera feeds within the dashboard for monitoring purposes.

Management

• Management: Only shown if the management of several Controllers is licensed; lists the managed Controllers.
• Links: Manage and access external or internal links relevant to your system setup.
• Log: View system logs for monitoring activities and troubleshooting.
• Administration: Access administrative settings, including user management, network configurations, and system updates.

Updates

When an update is available, the notice Update available appears at the bottom of the sidebar. Clicking it opens the software update page, ensuring that the controller is always up to date.

Appearance

At the very bottom of the sidebar you choose the appearance of the configuration interface. Clicking the current setting (e.g. Dark) opens the choice:

• Automatic – follows the light/dark setting of the operating system.
• Light
• Dark – the default.

The choice is stored in the browser and applies to this browser. The same choice is also available on the login page and in the initial setup.

Lists and confirmations

• List pages have a search field above the list. Their actions, such as creating a new entry, sit at the right of the bar above the list.
• Before something is deleted, reset or restarted, a dialog asks for confirmation and says what will happen. For actions that remove or reset something, the confirm button is red. Cancel closes the dialog without changing anything.
