General

This digitalSTROM application sends push notifications to smartphones. For example, you can push a message if somebody rings the doorbell or if the digitalSTROM panic button is pressed.

Preconditions

Before sending push notifications, the digitalSTROM-Server must be connected to your personal my.digitalSTROM account. Therefore, please install and configure the my.digitalSTROM app on your server.

Push notifications might be received by the ‚dS Dashboard’ (iOS) and ‚dS Home Control’ (Android) apps. In order to receive the messages, the smartphone app must be connected to your my.digitalSTROM account as well. In addition, the push notification needs to be enabled for this particular app on your smartphone.
