Beakn Smart Home Manual

What it does

This lets you control your devices even when the internet is down. As long as your Wi-Fi router is ON, your lights, fans, and plugs keep working through your local Wi-Fi.

How to use it

1. Go to Devices.
2. At the top, tap the Cloud OFF icon.
3. Tap OK to turn on Offline Mode.
4. Your devices now work locally through your Wi-Fi, even with no internet.

Why this matters

Internet can fail anytime — but your home should not stop. Offline Mode keeps your appliances working as long as the router is ON.

Real-life examples

• Your broadband goes down at night. Normally you couldn't switch off the bedroom fan from the phone. With Offline Mode, you open the app and control everything through local Wi-Fi.
• During a power cut, your router stays ON through the inverter. You still operate your lights and fans from the app without any internet.

This is perfect for:

• Power cuts where the router stays ON via inverter
• Slow or unreliable broadband
• Apartments where the internet provider often does maintenance
• Elderly people or kids who depend on app control

What it does

You can change the order in which your rooms appear, so your most-used rooms are at the top. No more scrolling.

How to use it

1. Go to Devices.
2. On the top bar, tap the three-lines (≡) icon.
3. Press and hold the three-lines next to any room.
4. Drag it up or down to change the order.
5. Tap Save.

Why this matters

Every home is different. Putting your most-used rooms on top makes daily control faster and saves you from unnecessary scrolling.

Real-life example

• Your most-used rooms are Living Room, Bedroom, and Kitchen, but the app shows Store Room and Guest Room on top. You drag your three main rooms to the top and Save. Now they are always one tap away.

This is perfect for:

• Large homes with many rooms
• Villas, duplexes, and apartments
• Elderly users who want rooms in a simple order
• Faster daily access for kids and family

---

What it does

This locks just one room (not the whole home). After locking, if anyone operates a physical switch in that room by hand, you get an instant Intrusion Alert. It does not block any controls — it only warns you about manual operation.

How to use it

1. Open the app and go to Devices (bottom menu).
2. On the room card, tap the Lock icon.
3. The room is now locked — all switches in that room are watched.
4. Any manual operation sends you an Intrusion Alert.

Important to know

• This feature is only to detect manual operation.
• If anyone presses a wall switch while Room Lock is ON, you get an alert at once.
• No other actions are blocked. You and others can still control other devices normally.

Real-life example

• You leave for the office after setting your automation. The house help comes for cleaning and switches ON all lights, fans, and AC while moving room to room. With Room Lock on the Living Room, the moment a switch is pressed you get: "Intrusion Alert — Someone operated Living Room Switch." You know unnecessary devices are running and can turn them off remotely.

---

What it does

With one tap, you turn OFF every light, fan, and appliance in a room. No need to switch off each one.

How to use it

1. Open the app and go to Devices.
2. On the room card, tap the OFF icon.
3. Tap Switch OFF to confirm.
4. All connected appliances in that room turn OFF at once.

Why this matters

Going switch-by-switch wastes time. One tap shuts down the whole room, saves energy, and keeps your routine fast.

Real-life example

• You are leaving the bedroom in a hurry for the office. Fan ON, night lamp ON, mirror light ON. Instead of hunting for each switch, you tap the room's OFF icon and the entire bedroom shuts down instantly.

This is perfect for:

• Leaving home quickly
• Kids forgetting to switch off lights
• Geyser or plug loads left ON
• Managing many rooms in villas and duplexes

---

What it does

Each room card shows small coloured dots that give you an instant snapshot of that room's switches — without opening it.

What the dots mean

• 🟢 Green Dot — How many switches are currently ON in that room.
• ⚪ White Dot — The total number of switches available in the room.
• 🔴 Red Dot — How many switches are currently OFF.

How to use it

1. Go to Devices.
2. Look at each room card — the dots show you live activity at a glance.

Real-life example

• You look at the Devices page and the Kitchen card shows a green dot saying "3 ON." You know three appliances are still running in the kitchen and can turn them off without going inside.

---

What it does

Grouping lets you control many lights as if they were one. You can turn them ON/OFF, dim them, or change their colour — all together with one tap.

How to use it

1. Go to Devices.
2. Tap the 3-bulb icon at the bottom (Group).
3. Tap Create a Group.
4. Tap Group Name and enter a name (for example, Hall COB Lights, Bedroom Ambience, Living Room All Lights).
5. Select Assign to Room.
6. Tap Switch Type and choose the kind of group:

• ON/OFF Group
• Color Lighting Group
• Dimmer / Regulator Group

1. If you chose Color Lighting, select all the lights you want in the group (for example, your hall COB lights).
2. Tap Save.
3. Now you can ON/OFF, dim, or change the colour of all grouped lights together with one tap.

Why this matters

Many homes have several lights in one area. Grouping makes them behave like a single light, so you set the mood instantly without touching each one.

Real-life example

• For movie night your hall has 4 COB lights, 1 LED strip, and a downlight. Instead of adjusting each one, you tap your "Movie Mode Lights" group — all COBs dim together, the strip turns warm, and the downlight switches off. One tap, perfect ambience.

This is perfect for:

• Living rooms with many lights
• Bedrooms with LED strips and lamps
• Dining area ambience
• Pooja room lighting
• Parties, movie nights, and functions

What it does

This watches a door and sends you a notification if the door stays open longer than the time you set. It helps with both safety and saving energy.

How to set it up

Real-life examples

• Your main door is fitted with a sensor. If it stays open for more than 2 minutes, you get an alert — useful if a child leaves it open after coming home.
• Your AC is running in the bedroom, but the balcony door is left open. The alert reminds you to close it so cool air isn't wasted.
