Optional settings before licensing

  1. If you use multiple instances of this app (e.g. becauseyou have multiple devices connected to the network with one gateway for each), you have to name your app instances differently and every instance have to be licensed seperately. The license key will contain the name of the app, so the final app name must be set before licensing. You can modify app name in the QuickApp app_name variable. If you use only one instance, just leave this unchanged.

  2. You can disable subsystems on demand before licensing. There is a dedicated selector for this in the Main QuickApp.

Licensing

To access the full range of QuickApp features, you need to request a license key as described here.

User Interface
