About LCN-GVS Android App

This is the official visualization-app for Smartphone, Tablet and Smart-TV-Box for the LCN-GVS "Global Visualization System" by ISSENDORFF KG.
It allows controlling and monitoring single buildings as well as multiple properties.
The app builds upon the LCN-GVS-Server, which can be used with every web-browser. This also includes smartphones and tablets.

- High reliability even under bad (wireless) reception conditions
- Reduced data-traffic compared to using a web-browser (cost-reduction with data-roaming)
- Access to all LCN-GVS-tableaus in a frameless fullscreen web-browser

The app has the following features:
- It can connect to every LCN-GVS-Server worldwide, that is reachable over the internet
- Visualization and control of all buildings, that are managed by the connected LCN-GVS-Server
- Quick-tableaus for fast access to all most important building functions
- Execution of batch-commands (macros)
