The MiOS app for iOS comes with a redesigned scene creation flow named Meshbot, for a better user experience.

A Meshbot is an application within the MiOS operating system, which is part of the Ezlo platform, that allows you to automate tasks in your smart home or work environment using 'If-Then' rules. These rules define what happens when a specific trigger event occurs. Meshbots can control smart devices, send notifications, integrate with cloud services, and more, offering a high level of customization and automation for your property.

The iOS MiOS app is compatible with all the Ezlo Hubs.

This guide will teach you:

  • Activation event - when do you want your meshbot to be activated?

You have these options:

This option is available only if there are devices on the controller. If not, it will be hidden. You will see only the devices that can possess activation events. If you select a device you will be sent to the next screen, where the list of possible events is presented. You can select one event at a time. The first event will be selected by default.

Action - what do you want to happen?

Here you can select what actions will run. A MeshBot should contain at least one action. Selecting an action is mandatory.

Add your devices in Actions by selecting Device Action.  The list will display all the devices that support actions. The actions are displayed one by one and you can select only one. The content is different based on the device:

Or you can select the House mode change option from where you can select:

By default, you will see all options enabled. You can select only the house modes in which you want your MeshBot to run, but it's mandatory to have at least 1 house mode selected.

Who should be notified?

Here you will see the list of the users from your account. You can select your user(s) to be notified when this scene runs, but it is not mandatory to have users selected.

Labels

Meshbot labels are a feature designed to help you organize and manage your Meshbots. this feature allows you to categorize your Meshbots into different labels and folders, making it easier to find and manage them, especially when you have a large number of Meshbots.

Select "Add Label." You can then assign an existing label or create a new one.
