7. How the b@home system works
The b@home gate can be used to control, monitor or reprogram the alre wireless heating/cooling system at any time and
from any location. The b@home gate is the interface between the alre wireless system and your router. This allows both
new alre wireless systems needing to be set up and existing systems to be controlled via the Internet or home network. The
system is operated using the b@home app (iOS/Android) or b@home portal via a web browser on a notebook/PC. A minimal
system with the b@home gate must include at least one sensor (transmitter or wireless room temperature sensor) and one
actuator (receiver or wireless room temperature controller) and a router with a free Ethernet port (LAN). One b@home gate
can be used to monitor and control up to 32 rooms and/or heating/cooling zones. If necessary, more b@home gates can
be operated in the same network (see Section 14.2).
