The latest upgrades to the Taphome Smart Platform introduce a user-configurable automation engine that empowers integrators to construct intricate rule sets incorporating temporal conditions, device states, and occupancy data without necessitating vendor programming.
This automation framework supports the creation of scenes and modes that synchronize lighting, heating, shading, security, and ancillary systems according to predefined schedules, real-time occupancy, or external signals. The platform now integrates advanced motion detection capabilities, allowing automation triggers based on both distant and close-range movement for enhanced responsiveness.
Alarm integration capabilities connect certified alarm events directly to user-defined actions such as activating lights or elevating blinds, enhancing safety and operational visibility within the environment.
Additionally, the platform embeds energy-aware logic, allowing seamless switching between photovoltaic supply and grid electricity in response to dynamic consumption and solar production metrics, optimizing energy management.
Dashboard and visualization improvements include the Schemas dashboard introduced in version 2025.1, which offers customizable layouts to efficiently visualize complex system topologies and device distributions on a single interface, providing a comprehensive overview of the entire smart home system.
The platform’s configurable user interface enables integrators to develop room- or function-specific views, facilitating rapid control over lighting, HVAC, shading, and access systems.
Automated data export functionality supports scheduled transmission of operational datasets to cloud-based analytics platforms such as Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel, thereby facilitating thorough reporting and historical trend analysis for diagnostics, optimization, and long-term performance evaluation.
Multi-platform applications compatible with Windows, Android, and iOS devices ensure consistent user experiences and timely firmware and software updates across varied endpoints. Much like Amazon’s Echo devices, the platform can serve as a central connectivity hub for managing diverse protocols and device communications.
The device integration framework of the Taphome Smart Platform maintains an open system architecture supporting protocols including API, MQTT, HTTP, UDP, Modbus, Wiegand, DALI, and DMX, thereby enabling interoperability across diverse building technologies.
Multi-room audio integration includes support for Sonos, Denon, and Fonestar systems, consolidating synchronized audio management within the platform.
Access control subsystems manage PIN keypads, card readers, and smartphone-based access mechanisms under unified administrative control.
Compatibility with Home Assistant extends the ecosystem to incorporate a broader range of IoT products and cloud services, additionally enhancing integration potential.
