    Thanks for the question! Our controls on mobile and tablet still need improvement, and we’re planning to refine the touch interaction experience in future updates. For now, you can try creating a top-view camera angle, which is much easier to use on mobile/tablet and reduces accidental click-and-drag actions. Here’s how to create a custom view, please check the video at 5:03: https://youtu.be/tm3IbnAiQzA Feel free to share more feedback, it really helps us improve the mobile experience!

    Hi everyone, Due to a Cloudflare-related outage earlier today, some users may have experienced 500 server errors when signing in or using Zircon3D. Everything is now back online. To fully restore functionality inside Home Assistant, please restart the Zircon3D add-on: Home Assistant → Settings → Add-ons → Zircon3D Proxy → Restart Thanks for your patience! If you notice anything unusual, feel free to reach out. — Zircon3D Team

    Own Your Data - You Can Choose Between Cloud Convenience and On-Premise Privacy Monitoring data never leaves user's local network You have full control over where your floorplan data is stored, cloud, local, or both All monitoring data (like sensor readings) stays 100% local inside Home Assistant The cloud version does not display or access any sensor/device state This setup lets users decide how much convenience vs. control they want, without compromising privacy or ownership. We’re also exploring more advanced options for self-hosting everything , including full 3D rendering on local devices or private servers.

    The Importance of 3D Visualization in Smart Home Applications Smart home technology has revolutionized the way we interact with our living spaces. From controlling lighting and climate to monitoring security, smart devices offer an unprecedented level of convenience and automation. However, as the number of connected devices in a home increases, managing them effectively becomes a challenge. This is where 3D visualization comes into play, offering an intuitive, interactive, and spatially accurate way to monitor and control smart homes. Why 3D Visualization Matters for Smart Homes Traditional smart home dashboards often rely on lists, maps, or static 2D floor plans. While functional, these interfaces can be limiting when dealing with complex setups. A 3D visualization-based system enhances user experience in several ways: Spatial Awareness: A 3D floor plan accurately represents the layout of a home, allowing users to see the exact location of each smart device in relation to furniture, rooms, and walls. Enhanced Control: Instead of searching through menus, users can interact directly with a 3D-rendered environment, clicking on devices to toggle settings, view status, or make adjustments. Improved Troubleshooting: When an issue arises, knowing the precise location of a sensor or smart appliance can help diagnose problems faster. Better Planning and Optimization: When adding new devices, a 3D visualization provides a clear understanding of the space, ensuring optimal placement for smart home efficiency. Displaying and Controlling Smart Devices on a 3D Floor Plan A 3D floor plan takes smart home management to the next level by offering a visually intuitive way to interact with devices. Instead of reading through a list of sensors or scrolling through a 2D map, users can simply navigate a realistic digital twin of their home, selecting and adjusting devices in real time. Lighting & Climate Control: Adjust brightness, color temperature, or thermostat settings by clicking on lights and HVAC units in the 3D space. Security & Surveillance: View camera feeds, check door locks, and monitor motion sensors within a true-to-scale representation of the home. Energy Monitoring: Visualize energy consumption per room, floor, or specific appliances in an easy-to-understand format. Smart Appliances & IoT Devices: Control smart plugs, speakers, and other devices with a simple click or gesture, improving the overall automation experience. Heatmaps & Environmental Data: With advanced visualization, users can see thermal imaging, humidity levels, and air quality metrics directly on their 3D floor plan. Zircon3D: The Perfect 3D Visualization System for Smart Homes Among the available smart home visualization solutions, Zircon3D stands out as a unique and powerful system designed specifically to integrate with smart devices. What Makes Zircon3D Unique? Highly Realistic 3D Rendering: Unlike generic dashboards, Zircon3D provides an immersive and dynamic 3D floor plan that reflects real-world layouts with accuracy. Interactive Smart Device Control: Users can control their smart home by interacting directly with the 3D environment, making management more intuitive than ever. Heatmaps and Sensor Data Integration: Zircon3D supports visualizing temperature, humidity, air quality, and motion detection as real-time overlays on the floor plan. Multi-Platform Accessibility: The system is available on web and mobile, ensuring seamless control from any device. Scalability from Home to Business Use: Whether managing a single-family home or a commercial building, Zircon3D provides the flexibility to scale visualization needs effortlessly. The Future of Smart Home Interaction As smart home ecosystems grow more complex, 3D visualization will become an essential tool for homeowners and facility managers. By providing an intuitive, interactive, and visually engaging experience, Zircon3D bridges the gap between technology and usability, making smart home control accessible for everyone.
