Using multiple hubs with Viaroom Home
Viaroom Home has been designed as an open platform, capable to connect to other hubs (for
example Osram™, Fibaro™, Vera™, , …) which you may have already installed in your home.
Before proceeding, please make sure your existing hubs have been properly set-up and updated to
their latest software version.
Using the Wizard or directly from the Configuration menu of the MyViaroom interface, you must first
add your third party hubs.
My Home > Configuration > My hubs
Some hubs offer support for automatic IoT device discovery (eg Osram Lightify). In this case, as soon
as you have added your hub using the MyViaroom interface, the corresponding connected IoT
devices will automatically appear in the Devices section available here:
My Home > Configuration > Devices
Some other hubs may require manual entry of connected devices using the Devices page as well as
downloading a configuration file, automatically generated, to be installed on your hub in order to
enable the communication with Viaroom Home. We have optimized this process which should only
take approximately 5’ for provisioning 10 connected devices.
As a typical installation example, Viaroom Home can be easily configured to learn and seamlessly
automate:
-An Osram™ Lightify hub controlling several bulbs
-A Fibaro™ Home Center 2 hub controlling several power plugs, lights (relay controllers)
and more
-A Vera hub controlling several power plugs, lights (relay controllers) and more
For the up-to-date list of supported devices, please connect to:
www.viaroom.com/devices

Stay tuned as we update this list on a regular basis.
If you cannot find your device in the list, and it works already with your hub, you may use one of the
Generic devices from the list, such as “Generic plug”. However, we cannot guarantee the full
compatibility of your device with Viaroom Home.
We’re always open to add support for new devices, as long as they match our required security
criteria, so please feel free to send us an email at [email protected].
