Rithum has announced the release of its Version 5.2 software update, introducing a range of enhancements designed to make everyday smart home interactions more intuitive and personalised.
The latest update brings new features such as customisable gestures, personalised wake screens, and improved heating controls, enabling users to tailor the interface to their preferences while simplifying routine tasks. The enhancements are aimed at reducing friction in daily operation by ensuring frequently used controls are readily accessible.
With Version 5.2, Rithum continues to refine the user experience, focusing on seamless interaction and greater convenience for homeowners. The update reflects the company’s commitment to creating smart home technology that works quietly in the background, adapting to users’ lifestyles rather than demanding their attention.
Until now, a double tap on a Rithum panel was dedicated to play and pause. With Rithum 5.2, that gesture can trigger any scene or action on your system.
Whether it’s lighting, music, climate control or a multi-room scene, the gesture can now be tailored to the way each space is actually used. For homeowners, that means faster access to the actions they use most. For integrators, it creates another opportunity to personalise the experience without adding complexity.
With Rithum 5.2, each panel can wake directly to Media, Levels or Climate, depending on its location and purpose.
A kitchen panel might open to music controls, while a bedroom panel goes straight to climate settings. In a hallway, lighting controls may be the most useful starting point.
The change may seem small, but removing even a single unnecessary tap can make a smart home feel noticeably more responsive over time.
More importantly, it keeps technology in the background by presenting only what’s relevant in that moment.
Inter-Switch Intercom
Communication is one of the most overlooked aspects of the connected home.
With Rithum 5.2, compatible Switch Pros can now call one another using inter-switch intercom functionality. Panels can place outbound SIP calls, including calls triggered directly from scene buttons.
That means hardware already installed on the wall can become a practical communication tool throughout the home.
Whether you’re speaking between floors, checking in from another room or answering a door station from elsewhere in the house, the experience feels integrated rather than dependent on yet another device.
