iRidium server lite

Using a server to add functions to i3 lite projects

i3 lite support ends on December 31, 2025.

Capabilities of iRidium Server lite

Automation 24 hours a day.

It collects and analyzes data non-stop, keeps track of routines and events that trigger set routines, sends commands and gets data from equipment.

All commands from control panels to devices are sent via the server.

Remote Control by a protected protocol.

The server allows to control an automation object outside the local network. Panels interact with a server via a protected protocol. The cloud server does not store data that goes through it and it does not know personal information about devices that work with it.

Control with the help of voice assistants.

It allows to control smart home with the help of voice assistants Amazon Alexa or Google Home.

Processing data from astronomical timer.

It calculates the sun angle on the basis of set coordinates, that allows to do certain actions at sunrise, noon, sunset or at the moment the sun crosses a definite angle.

Sending notifications, Push-notifications.

It sends set information and alert messages to the log journal and push-notifications to end-users's panels.

It enlarges control capabilities for several panels.

Very often equipment supports only one connection, for example, Global Caché, Marantz, Beckhoff. Use of server allows any number of panels to control this equipment.

Hardware and server realization.

iRidium server has hardware realization (iRidium UMC, RPI, NUC) and there is also software realization (for Windows). Software realization can be downloaded from our web-site and used in large projects or in a showroom.
