PINs and roles

Each person who uses the app has a role and a 4-digit PIN. They are set on the Users step and go out with Deploy. Facts are from configurator v3.322. Never write a real PIN in a ticket, a chat or a help note.

Roles

• Admin and Limited are the two roles for a person (the switch on each person's card).
• The first person added is Admin and is the owner: the owner always gets login codes and needs an e-mail.
• Making someone Admin ticks them into every room that is shown only to some people. You can untick rooms afterwards. The role itself never grants rooms.
• Guest is not a person. It is one shared PIN for visitors, with no e-mail and no login codes. Emptying the Guest PIN removes the guest.

PINs

• A PIN is exactly 4 digits.
• The configurator never keeps the PIN in the clear: it is removed from every save and every exported file. What is kept is a scrambled code that cannot be turned back into the PIN. The hub checks the PIN against it.
• Change only opens the box. Your old PIN stays until a new 4-digit PIN is typed. Leaving the box empty cancels the change.
• Show shows the saved PIN for 10 seconds, then hides it. Each Show is logged. Only the person editing the project can use it.

Login codes and e-mail

• Can get login codes needs an e-mail. Without one, it is off and grey. The owner is always on.
• Two people may not share a name, and two people may not share an e-mail.

Home settings on the Users step

• Ask an admin to approve each new phone: on by default. A guest phone's approval lasts 7 days.
• Offer a new app version up to N times a day: 1 to 6, default 3.

What Deploy checks

Deploy refuses, and names the person, when:

• someone has no PIN (Set a 4-digit PIN for …),
• two people share a name or an e-mail,
• the owner has no e-mail.

Deploy is also stopped by missing AC modes, missing AC fan speeds, or a missing KNX fan type. Nothing else that is incomplete stops Deploy.

The Deploy card shows People getting a login with the number of admins and limited people. The Deploy blocks box has Go there →, which opens the field to fix.
