Vimar VIEW

Vimar S.p.A.

About this app

Control your connected home, based on the VIEW IoT smart systems, with a simple, user-friendly interface: all the functions of a smart home are at your fingertips from the first power-on and in complete safety, once you have entered your access credentials, generated on the VIMAR Cloud portal. The App does not require any configuration because it inherits the programming already performed by the professional electrical installer with the various configuration tools of the various systems installed in the building (VIEW Wireless or By-me Plus, By-alarm, Elvox video door entry system, Elvox cameras).
The functions managed using the VIEW APP, both locally and remotely, are: lights, curtains and roller shutters, climate control, electricity (consumption, production and anti-blackout), music and audio, video door entry system, burglar alarm, cameras, sprinkler system, sensors/contacts (e.g. for technical alarms), advanced logic programmes and scenarios for centralised control of all smart functions. Everything can even be controlled by means of smart speakers!

Using the VIEW APP, you can freely create scenarios, customise a favourites page for direct access to the most frequent functions, customise climate control and sprinkler system programmes with maximum flexibility, manage users and permissions associated with the system, add control of Philips Hue system light bulbs and LED strips, and select the push notifications that you want to receive.

From answering the video entryphone, to controlling the temperature of the home: any function can be conveniently controlled remotely from a single interface, whether in your own home or anywhere else in the world, thanks to the security guaranteed by the Vimar cloud.

The interface is organised to allow user-friendly browsing by function (“Objects”) or by environment (“Rooms”): popular icons used in the main operating systems, customisable labels and swipe gesture controls help to make the Vimar home automation system extremely user-friendly.

The App works only in association with the home automation/video door entry/burglar alarm gateways present in the system and only features the functions that the respective gateways make available (for details, please refer to the VIEW App user manual available on the Vimar website in the Download/Software/VIEW PRO section).

Ratings and reviews

Terrible support, app doesn't work and it hangs up whenever you try to reply on the intercom. Bticino is a better intercom system.

The app works and design is modern compared to previous app, but there's still a major issue for months now, the app can't stay running in the background, the previous vimar app was able to ask for background service to stay running , this app doesn't which cause all incoming notifications / calls to be missed making the app useless. (phone : Samsung S20+ , Android version 13 , tested also on xiaomi mi 11 Android 13 and same thing )

Application runs very slow, Groups don't work amd sometimes it takes a few dozens of seconds for a light to turno on or off. There are also a lot of translations missing in English and it replaces words with italian. Overall really bad experience.
