Phoscon Home - The new dashboard design

Our redesigned dashboard focuses on clear structures and direct device control - here’s an overview of the most important features:

Concept

• Groups are now components of rooms. This reflects the organization of a network in reality (building, apartment, rooms, spaces).

Room Management

• Central overview: All rooms with assigned devices at a glance
• Flexible hierarchy: Multiple subgroups possible per room
• Unique assignment: Each device belongs to exactly one room

Overview functions

• Create new room: With individual naming
• Device bar: Easily expand for sensors, lamps, sockets, blinds, and thermostats

Core functions

• Group control: Switch all lamps in a room together
• Zoom function: Expand/collapse rooms for a focused view
• Device search: Open the Zigbee network for new devices
• Dynamic filters: Display device categories separately
• Global actions: Turn off all lamps + rearrange rooms/devices

Settings

• Room customization: Change name + display sensor values in the header
• Action link: Connect lamps/sockets to the room switch
• Delete function: Delete entire rooms Remove

Room Details

• Create Subgroups: Multi-level Room Structures
• Element Management: Add/Remove Devices/Scenes/Timers/Automations
• Scene Editor: Direct Access to Lighting Moods
• Switch Configuration: Integrate Physical Buttons

New clear interface

Consistent spatial centering and intuitive hierarchies make device control faster than ever before. Drag & drop functionality enables easy customization, while complex scenarios are presented clearly.

New features for the FLS-M wireless ballast

May 2025: The FLS-M wireless ballast is getting some new features with the new firmware version 1.1.

Dim Via Curve

• A separate dimming curve can be stored for each channel from 1 to 5. This allows connected LED bulbs to be tuned with particular precision. A maximum of 8 control points can be assigned to the brightness curve. The values between them are interpolated.
• Technical: An endpoint with multiple emitters is abstracted into a single, easily dimmable endpoint. The ratio of the luminosity of the respective emitters depends on the set brightness. The individual emitters follow a user-defined curve.
• This function is available in the Config-Builder.

Example - Dim To Warm

• This function allows dimming to a different light color. Cool white/warm white (CCT) LED bulbs are required for this.
• Technical: A CCT strip is configured so that the warm white LED increases in brightness linearly, while the cool white LED follows an exponential curve. This means that the warm white LED dominates at low brightness levels. At high brightness, the ratio shifts to approximately 50:50, simulating the behavior of a traditional light bulb.

Opacity Curves & Animations

• Opacity curves can now be defined for addressable LED strips. This allows the transparency of segments at higher levels to be varied, making underlying levels visible. The opacity curves can also have a direction and speed, allowing animations to be implemented.
• This function is available in the Config Builder.

Example – Gradient

• A segment group is defined by two endpoints. One of these endpoints is located at a higher level and has increasing opacity (e.g., LED1 = 0%, LEDN = 100%). Gradient effects can be created by activating this upper endpoint.

ZigBee OTAU (Over-the-Air Update)

• The FLS-M does not support ZigBee updates in its factory firmware version 1.0. After a one-time update to version 1.1, the device is OTAU-capable and can be updated via ZigBee in the future.
