What is Dioramic Control?

Dioramic Control is a revolutionary interface for home automation, which provides a 3D visualization of your space to help you understand and control various aspects of your environment such as temperature, lighting, and appliances.

How did Latch get a 3D model of my unit?

We use the original 2D floor plans of units to programmatically generate 3D models.  No other data was used or gathered in any form.

What devices are compatible with Dioramic Control?

Dioramic Control is compatible with thermostats, leak detectors, and smart switches. Dioramic Control is currently only available for iOS devices with a Latch app version of a minimum of 2.81.

How do I enter the Dioramic Control screen?

You can enter the Dioramic Control screen by clicking on the Dioramic Control card.

What actions can I take in Dioramic Control?

In Dioramic Control, you can interact with your space model - zoom, rotate, and focus. You can also control your Smart Devices, such as turning on/off thermostats, changing the mode of operation, adjusting the temperature, viewing notifications from leak detectors, and turning on/off smart switches.

If you can see View smart devices under your private residence door, but one or more of your smart devices is not displayed, please contact your Property Manager for further assistance. They will work with the Latch Customer Support team to investigate the problem.

If you do not see View smart devices, please see I don't see 'View Smart Devices' under my unit door in the Latch App.

If you cannot see the 'View smart devices' link under your private residence door in the Latch App, we first recommend running through the following:

1. Confirm you're signed in to the Latch App using the correct e-mail address. Signing in with the wrong account may cause confusion as the required permissions/access may not be assigned to that account.
2. Log out of the Latch App and then log back in to refresh the App. To do this:
   • Open the Latch App menu (on the top left-hand side of the Latch App)
   • Selecting 'Settings' and 'Sign Out' 
   • Then sign back in with your correct email address and password

If after running through these steps, you still do not see 'View smart devices,' please reach out to your property manager to ensure they have you listed as a resident for your Unit.

Your property manager can reach out to our support team at support@latch.com if they have any questions or need assistance along the way. 

If one of your Smart Home devices is not turning on, please request assistance from your Property Manager to resolve the issue. However, there are a few things that you can check as a resident to help troubleshoot individual devices.

For Thermostats: You can check if the Thermostat is receiving power by tapping the display or clicking one of the physical buttons on the device. The goal is to see if anything shows on the screen. If the screen does not light up or there is nothing displayed, you should contact your property manager.

For Light Switches: Light Switches can be controlled at the wall like a traditional switch or via the controls in the Latch App. If your Light Switch does not work when controlled at the wall, please review the information below. 

1. Verify that the light bulb the switch controls is not burned out. It may be helpful to replace the bulb and see if the switch is working correctly. 
2. If the device does not work on the wall after verifying that the light bulb is working, please contact your property manager for assistance.

For Hubs: Residents have limited interaction with the Latch Hub. If the LED light on the top of your Latch Hub is not visible, it means that there is no power.

1. Check that the cable is both plugged into a power outlet and connected to the back of the device. You can check if the outlet or surge protector your Hub is plugged into is working by plugging in another device to see if it receives power.

After the thermostat is set up by an installer, the resident will be prompted to Tap to Give Consent in the Latch App. The resident will then be notified of the benefits of connecting the thermostat to their Google account, namely that they need to connect it in order to control their thermostat through the Latch App.

From there, the resident will enter a familiar "Log in with Google" flow, where the user must:

1. Sign in or create a Google account
2. Accept the terms of service. This only needs to be done by one resident in order to activate the thermostat.
3. Allow Latch to access the thermostat.

Currently, thermostats must be activated by connecting a Google account within 30 days of installing and provisioning the device. After 30 days, the thermostat will be disconnected. To reactivate the thermostat, contact Support@latch.com.

When a Honeywell thermostat has a status of Disconnected or Tap to Connect, it is not connected to the internet and must be connected. You will not be able to control the thermostat using the Latch App and the information available for display will be out of date or unavailable.

We recommend attempting to connect the thermostat to WiFi. If connecting the device to the network fails or it continues to fall offline, troubleshooting of the WiFi network is required. 

Honeywell T5 or T6 Thermostats

For users of the Latch App for Android:

An iOS device such as an iPhone is required to reconnect a Honeywell thermostat to a WiFi network. If you do not have an iOS device available, please contact your property manager for assistance.

For users of the Latch App for iOS: 

1. Find your thermostat in the Latch App.
2. Tap on your thermostat then tap on Tap here to connect.
3. Press and Hold the center of the thermostat’s screen for 5 seconds to place it into pairing mode.
4. Go to the WiFi settings on your iOS device and tap on the LYRIC network name displayed on the thermostat’s screen. This will be listed under Set up new device in the iOS WiFi settings.
5. Select the WiFi network you want to connect your thermostat to and tap Next in the top right corner of the screen.
6. Enter the network password if prompted.
7. Tap Done.
8. Return to the thermostat page in the Latch App to check that the thermostat has successfully connected to the internet.

Honeywell T9 or T10 Thermostats

5. Choose the WiFi Network Name from the list and enter the Network Password. 
6. You will see a Success message on the Thermostat when complete. Please wait a few minutes for the Thermostat to show as connected in the Latch App.

If the issue persists please contact Support@Latch.com for additional assistance.

Groupings

In the device list, lights are grouped by room. When all the lights in the room are off, the status will show "All lights are off". When the all the lights in the room are on, the status will show "All lights are on." When at least one light in the room is on, the bulb icon will be darkened, but "Some lights are on" will show.

Tapping on the grouping cell will show a list of all the individual lights. From there, users can control a single switch at a time. Any time the user touches the physical switch, the state will be reflected within the app.

States

Lights show the following states:

1. Disconnected: When the hub falls offline, the status will show as disconnected.

2. Group status: The status of the lights within a room will show as

   1. All lights are on

   2. All lights are off

   3. Some lights are on

   4. Some lights failed

3. Individual status: The status of the lights within a room will show as

   1. Light is on

   2. Light is off

   3. Light failed

In the event of a power outage, an attempt to change the light switch status will show as "Light failed"

When the unit is occupied, property managers will only be able to see the connectivity of the light status of a group. They cannot see whether a light is on or off.
