Say yes from the field
The person who has to approve a critical step is rarely at a desk. The Hermetry mobile app puts approvals, alarms and live device values in your pocket, and lets the phone itself report to the platform as a device.
Approvals
Critical decisions, approved safely on the phone
A push notification brings you to the decision. You see what will happen, who asked and the device's state now, then approve or reject.
Critical commands, four eyes
Opening a valve, stopping a line or rebooting a gateway can wait for a second person's approval before it reaches the device.
New devices
Activate or reject a device that registered itself and waits in quarantine, from wherever you are.
Every approval queue
Firmware rollouts paused at a safety gate, setting changes and any other step assigned to you, in one inbox.
Never a bare tap
Every decision asks for your fingerprint or face first; the most sensitive ones are signed with a passkey on the phone.
Nobody approves their own
The person who asked cannot approve their own request, on the phone or on the web.
Recorded
Each decision lands in the audit trail with who, when and that it came from the mobile app. Notifications on the lock screen never show the content.
The phone as a device
Your phone sends telemetry too
Pair the phone in one step and it becomes an ordinary Hermetry device: on the Devices page, on maps, in rules and alarms.
Location
Where the technician is on a round, shown on map widgets. Off until you turn it on.
Battery and network
Battery level, charging and the connection type, so a silent phone is explained.
Motion
Shock and fall detection raise an alarm for a lone worker.
Manual readings
Meter readings, checks and photos, entered on a form built from the device profile.
How the phone reports
Built like every other device
1
Pair
In the app, choose Use this phone as a device, or scan a provisioning code from the web for a shared phone.
2
Choose what to send
Each signal has its own switch and is off by default. The app shows what it sent last.
3
Works offline
Readings wait on the phone without signal and arrive later with their own timestamps.
4
Unpair any time
Unpairing removes the device on the platform and its access at once.
On the go
The context behind each decision
Devices
Search devices, see who is online and the latest value of every key.
Alarms
Open alarms first, by severity, and acknowledge them from the list.
One sign-in
The same account and workspaces as the web app; switching workspace needs no new password.
FAQ
Questions about the mobile app
Can I use it today?
Not yet. The app is in development and this page shows what it will do. Tell us and we will let you know when it is ready.
Which decisions can I approve from the phone?
Steps assigned to you in the approval queue, devices waiting in quarantine, firmware rollouts paused at a safety gate and, where your administrator turns it on, critical device commands that need a second person.
Does a phone count as a device?
Yes. A paired phone is a device like any other and counts towards your plan's device limit and message limits.
Does the app track people in the background?
Only if the person turns on background sending. Android then shows a permanent notification, and every signal can be switched off in the app.
