Get Started
Welcome to the Twist documentation. Twist is a smart control platform for outdoor and indoor products — pergolas, awnings, screens, shutters, lights, heaters, and more — controlled from a mobile app or web portal, with automation built in.
This site is organized by audience. Choose the section that matches what you want to do.
What is Twist?
Twist turns everyday products into connected, controllable experiences. With Twist you can:
- Control products from anywhere using the mobile app or web portal.
- Automate with routines that respond to time, sunrise and sunset, weather, sensors, and buttons.
- Save scenes that set several products at once with a single tap.
- Link products so remote controls, sensors, and weather data drive the right actions.
- Share access to an installation with family, guests, or service providers.
