1 Introduction
Thank you for buying the APPMODULE. The APPMODULE is a unique integration server that you can customise using the apps from the BAB APPMARKET. This documentation will help to familiarise you with the product and facilitate implementation.

Product name: | APPMODULE |
Intended use: | Module to run applications |
Design: | Modular device (REG) |
Item number: | 10491 (IP), 10495 (KNX), 13501 (EnOcean) |
Functional overview
The APPMODULE links building automation to third-party applications that otherwise cannot be controlled by building control. The connection is established with applications that can be installed on the APPMODULE. You can select your very own combination of apps, and purchase individual apps from the BAB APPMARKET (https://www.bab-appmarket.de/de/ ). The APPMODULE is available as “IP” for EIBPORT, with KNX- or with EnOcean interface.
APPMODULE functional principle
On delivery, the APPMODULE contains only the basic software and has no application installed. You can purchase and download the applications for the APPMODULE in the BAB APPMARKET. For that purpose you will need an APPMARKET account and an APPMODULE registered in the APPMARKET.
In addition to the download of the purchased applications, there is the option of integration into the terminal configurator including the purchase of a Smart Home App.

Serial number / Registration key
The Serial Number (SN) and Registration Key are required to register the APPMODULE. You will find both as stickers on the packaging, in the quick start guide and as well on the backside of your device.
Updates
We reserve the right to offer firmware updates free of charge for the APPMODULE. We inform you about new firmware in our newsletter or on our homepage. The update files are available in the download section on our homepage.
Important information on the operating instructions
We reserve the right to make technical and formal changes to the product in the interests of technical progress. The information in this documentation may therefore not necessarily be up to date. Information on current APPMODULE firmware and on this description (“APPMODULE documentation”) can be found at www.bab-tec.de.
Functional safety
If there are certain requirements to minimize risks for people or objects (functional safety), additional measures are obligatory, which must be considered during planning and implementation. When using the APPs in the APPMODULE, there are interactions with many devices/connections (e.g. Internet) in the system, which may lead to risks. Especially failure of individual devices or functions or connections can lead to malfunction of the system. There are different ways to minimise the risks. That depends on the system and customer requirements.
These measures must always have the required independence from the operation of the system (APP MODULE with APP) and must always be available.
