00:00:00.727 --> 00:00:07.399
Dashboards for Indigo. Here is a look round a real house. Everything you see is live, and every press is real.

2
00:00:08.945 --> 00:00:15.694
This is the hub, the page that lives on my iPhone, laptop and iPad. It answers one question first: is the house all right?

3
00:00:16.103 --> 00:00:21.843
The pills say who is home, how many radiators are calling for heat, and whether anything needs a look.

4
00:00:22.252 --> 00:00:25.472
Favourites are one-tap tiles. Press the garage door,

5
00:00:25.881 --> 00:00:29.740
and the tile turns blue and counts the seconds while the door moves.

6
00:00:31.745 --> 00:00:36.845
It turns red once the door is fully open, and the live camera strip shows it happening.

7
00:00:40.426 --> 00:00:45.993
Every room has its own page. The garage has its cameras, and the door, which is open now.

8
00:00:46.402 --> 00:00:49.465
Press to close, and the tile follows the door down.

9
00:00:49.875 --> 00:00:51.019
Back to the hub.

10
00:00:52.201 --> 00:00:58.038
The hub's tile now reads Closing, and the live camera strip shows the door still on its way down.

11
00:00:58.519 --> 00:01:01.273
Then the tile goes quiet and reads closed.

12
00:01:02.110 --> 00:01:04.049
Tap any camera on the hub,

13
00:01:05.063 --> 00:01:08.650
and the Cameras page opens with every camera playing live.

14
00:01:09.059 --> 00:01:14.237
The big picture follows whichever one you tap. Tap the front door, and it swaps to the top.

15
00:01:17.741 --> 00:01:24.161
Further down the hub are the power flow, today's solar and the weather station. More on the energy in a moment.

16
00:01:24.570 --> 00:01:30.795
Below them, today's totals, what the solar has saved in pounds, and the weather from the station on the roof.

17
00:01:31.205 --> 00:01:37.798
At the bottom, a list of any open doors and windows, then tiles for the menu and the rooms. The menu first.

18
00:01:38.980 --> 00:01:45.555
The menu groups every page by the question it answers: what is on right now, and then the energy and the cost.

19
00:01:45.964 --> 00:01:53.023
Then what happened, with a timeline that replays any day, and whether anything is wrong, from alerts to the server itself.

20
00:01:53.432 --> 00:02:01.597
Setup holds the settings, and any web page can be added as a tile, such as the UniFi controller, so one menu leads to everything.

21
00:02:02.006 --> 00:02:04.799
Rooms has a page for every room in the house.

22
00:02:05.981 --> 00:02:11.644
Every room gets its own page, with lights, sensors, radiators and doors. Pick the kitchen.

23
00:02:12.644 --> 00:02:14.990
In the kitchen, switch the spot lights on,

24
00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:18.165
and slide them down to half brightness.

25
00:02:18.916 --> 00:02:21.515
All On switches on every light in the room.

26
00:02:22.962 --> 00:02:28.043
A room can leave a light out of that group, such as a main light that keeps its own switch.

27
00:02:28.452 --> 00:02:30.644
And All Off puts them all out again.

28
00:02:31.588 --> 00:02:36.980
Below the lights are the room's motion sensors, its temperature and humidity, and the window.

29
00:02:38.162 --> 00:02:40.392
The living room works the same way.

30
00:02:40.801 --> 00:02:43.245
In the living room, switch the colour lamp on,

31
00:02:43.937 --> 00:02:46.168
and slide it down to half brightness.

32
00:02:47.074 --> 00:02:51.108
All On switches on every light in the group, and that includes the fire.

33
00:02:51.517 --> 00:02:56.075
The main light is left out of the group on purpose, so it keeps its own switch.

34
00:02:56.484 --> 00:02:58.675
And All Off puts them all out again.

35
00:03:00.756 --> 00:03:10.221
The Heating page draws its data from the Evohome heating plugin: every radiator with its temperature and setpoint, and a boost for the whole house at the top.

36
00:03:10.630 --> 00:03:18.601
We are still in summer mode here, so every radiator is held at eight degrees. The boost comes into its own once the heating is needed again.

37
00:03:19.010 --> 00:03:25.643
Scrolling down shows the rest of the radiators, with the coldest and warmest rooms picked out in blue and amber.

38
00:03:27.188 --> 00:03:34.364
Right now the sun is making far more than the house needs, so the spare is charging the battery, which is 66 percent full.

39
00:03:36.688 --> 00:03:41.226
The dots show which way the power is going, and they speed up as more of it flows.

40
00:03:41.635 --> 00:03:55.715
Underneath are how self-sufficient the house has been today, 0 percent so far, with a note when an overnight cheap-rate charge is why it reads low, the solar against today's forecast, what it has saved in pounds, and the battery's charge.

41
00:03:56.125 --> 00:04:04.289
Each hour's solar is split by roof, and set against a dashed mark for what the forecast promised. The pale bars are the hours still to come.

42
00:04:04.698 --> 00:04:12.495
The battery section shows what it is doing now, its last day as a line, and its health, down to the temperature and balance of the cells.

43
00:04:12.904 --> 00:04:16.685
And When to run it plans the washing around the sun and the battery.

44
00:04:18.231 --> 00:04:22.381
Scenes puts every Indigo action group on a button, grouped by folder.

45
00:04:23.926 --> 00:04:30.307
Alerts gathers the errors in Indigo's log, and lets you add your own rules, sent by Pushover or email.

46
00:04:31.853 --> 00:04:39.339
WiFi shows every access point and every client, and flags a crowded channel or an old device slowing the rest down.

47
00:04:40.885 --> 00:04:46.915
And Mains lists every meter in the house, with how far they disagree with each other and with the inverter.

48
00:04:48.097 --> 00:04:50.715
Every page you have seen began as a sentence.

49
00:04:51.125 --> 00:04:59.018
Say what you want on a page, in plain English, and Claude builds it. Lights, doors, heating, cameras, anything Indigo can switch or show.

50
00:04:59.427 --> 00:05:04.528
Your house is different, so ask for your own pages. The only limit is your imagination.
