General

The "General" tab shows the master data of the device and provides the most important management functions.

Device header

The top section shows the device icon and name:

• Icon – Click the icon to change it. A selection window opens with all available symbols. Choose a symbol that best represents the device. For some devices (e.g. OpenWeather) the icon is fixed and cannot be changed. The search finds icons by several words, e.g. “ceiling lamp”. The current icon is outlined; pick with the arrow keys and Enter right from the search field.
• Name – Click the name to edit it. The name is used in all lists, in the app, and in automations.
• Last updated / Created – Shows when the device last changed a value and when it was created.

Device information

Depending on the device type, the following fields are shown:

• Zone – Shows the zone (floor) the device belongs to via its room.
• Room – Use the selection list to assign the device to a different room. Rooms are grouped by zones; a search field above the list finds room and zone (see Keyboard shortcuts). Devices without a room end up in the Default Room.
• Controller – Only on Management: shows which managed Controller the device belongs to, or (local) for devices of Management itself.
• Platform – The underlying skill platform (e.g. KNX, ZigBee, Z-Wave, Matter, MQTT).
• Category / Type – The device category (Lighting, Thermostats, …) and the specific type. For some devices (e.g. Switch ↔ Lightbulb) you can change the type via the selection list.
• Direction – Only for window coverings: defines whether the cover works horizontally or vertically.
• Manufacturer / Model / Serial number / Version / Firmware – Hardware information, if provided by the skill.
• Link Quality – For wireless and WiFi devices (e.g. ZigBee, Z-Wave, Gardena, Wiser, Zeptrion, WiFi wallboxes), the current connection quality in percent. Below 10 %, the status shows "Poor connection".
• Battery – For battery-powered devices, the current charge level.
• Status – Shows OK, "Device is not reachable", or "Poor connection". For unreachable devices, Last seen also shows the time of the last successful communication.
• Compatibility / Certified by nomos system – Shown for devices from the online library.

Actions

The icon buttons in the device header below the name (the label appears when you point at them):

• Open in nomos system App – Opens the device directly in the embedded app view.
• Show relations – Opens the Relations page in the same tab with the focus on this device. The button is missing if the page is not available for the product.
• Log – Jumps to the system log and filters by this device.
• Help / Support – Opens (if available) the manufacturer- or skill-specific help page.
• Edit or Configuration – For KNX, Z-Wave, ZigBee, and Wiser devices: opens the skill-specific configuration page.

The Delete Device button is at the bottom of the page. It removes the device from the system after a confirmation dialog. Which automations and scenes use the device is shown in the Associations section – check it before deleting.

Configuration (Add-ons only)

If the device was added via an Add-on skill, a block with add-on-specific parameters appears here (e.g. Server IP, Port, Username, Password, Active, Debug). Apply changes with "Save" in the bar at the top of the page.

Webhooks (only for supported devices)

Some devices can be updated by external systems via HTTP request. This section shows the webhook URLs (HTTP and HTTPS) that can be entered into the external system. The supported properties are listed below. The clipboard icon copies the URLs.

Settings

Depending on device type, additional options can be enabled here:

• Include in room commands – Only for Lighting, Window Coverings, Thermostats, and Music Players. When a whole room is switched in the nomos app (e.g. all lights off, all blinds up), this device follows. Turned off, it stays as it is; it can still be controlled on its own, in scenes and in automations. Example: the night light strip in the hallway should stay on when the room's lights are switched off.
• Share with the management – Only on a Controller that can be managed by Management. When on, the device also appears in the management that looks after this Controller. When off, it is removed there; here on this local Controller it stays unchanged.

Associations

Shows all objects in the system that use this device:

• Devices – Other devices linked to this one.
• Quick Config – Quick configs that use this device as trigger or action.
• Automations – Automation rules that use this device.
• Scenes – Scenes the device appears in.
• Schedules – Schedules that control this device.
• Cameras – Cameras linked to this device.
• Node-RED – Node-RED flows the device is used in, each flow only once; a subflow carries the addition Subflow. A click opens the flow in the Node-RED editor (new tab), but only if the Node-RED interface is available for the product; otherwise only the name is shown. Node-RED does not prevent the device from being deleted.

The links navigate directly to the respective object. Check this list before deleting a device to avoid accidentally breaking automations or scenes.
