9. Description of the App interface
The devices paired in the app communicate with a bidirectional protocol.
Thus, the app not only sends commands, but also receives information
from the devices.
This means that almost all actions performed by devices are also dis-
played in the interface. The app informs the user about these actions
through messages on the top right of the screen.
Will be shown when starting the app.
In the login screen the account and the system language can be selected.
a) Account
Predefined user is called “admin”.

The input field for users acts with an auto-

are automatically proposed.

The passwords of the self-created users are
freely definable.
