What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
The EnvirON Hub is a central control device that lets someone operate TVs, lamps, fans, and other household electronics using a smartphone app, wireless switches, or scanning remotes — instead of needing to physically handle each device's own controls. It's designed for people with limited hand or arm movement who can't reliably use standard remote controls or appliance switches, and it works in homes, classrooms, or care settings. This is not a standalone solution — it's the core of a larger system that requires the free EnvirON iOS app, and potentially iClick outlet controllers for mains-powered devices and a compatible Bluetooth switch or scanning remote if the app isn't sufficient. The system is iOS-only at this time, so Android users are out of luck, and getting full benefit from switch scanning will require pairing with compatible Bluetooth switch interfaces like the APPlicator or iSwitch.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
- Plug in the EnvirON Hub and download the free EnvirON App from the Apple App Store.
- Point existing device remotes at the Hub to teach it IR signals for each appliance.

- Add iClick controllers for mains-powered devices (lamps, fans) by following the iClick pairing steps.
- Configure scanning access through iOS Switch Control settings to connect a Bluetooth switch — allow 30–60 minutes for initial full configuration.
- See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
- With professional help
- An occupational therapist (OT) or assistive technology professional (ATP) can assess which access method (app, switch, scanning) best suits the user's motor abilities and set up the appropriate scanning patterns.
- Expect 1–2 sessions to configure the full system and train the user and caregivers.
