Cloud access is required to control the devices on the CenteroHome NXT from an external network. This means that the gateway in the home network can be controlled via the Internet from a mobile network or e.g. hotel WLAN. Settings to the configuration outside the home WLAN are not possible.
 

Procedure: Activate Cloud Acces

2. Select [Settings]

Info: After a gateway has been set up, a gateway backup and a backup of the configuration must be performed. This is recommended in case of a possible defect or data loss of the gateway. Otherwise, a new gateway must be taught-in again on all devices. A backup of a V5 gateway can be transferred to a V6 gateway. This means that version 6 is downward compatible, while V5 is not upward compatible.
