Description
Overview
The iFob Control app puts your Bosch alarm system in the palm of your hand. Designed for IP-enabled alarm panels running on the MyAlarm cloud platform, this smartphone app delivers real-time status updates, remote arm/disarm capability, and complete event history — all from wherever you happen to be.
Whether you’re at the office wondering if you remembered to set the alarm, or managing multiple properties from your holiday house, iFob Control keeps you connected and in control. The app supports multiple sites, so you can switch between your home, business, and investment properties without juggling different systems or logins.
Security isn’t an afterthought either. Every user logs in with their own PIN, which means they only see and control the areas they’re authorised to access. All actions are recorded in the system history log, giving you a complete audit trail of who armed or disarmed the system and when.
Key Features
iFob Control delivers comprehensive alarm management through an intuitive mobile interface. The area control screen displays the current status of each zone at a glance, showing whether areas are armed, disarmed, or in alarm state. You’ll also see any trouble conditions that need attention, such as low battery warnings or communication faults.
The app supports flexible arming modes including full arm, stay arm, and custom part-arm configurations set up by your installer. This means you can arm the perimeter while keeping internal zones active during the day, or set specific schedules for different areas of your premises.
An optional panic button can be enabled within the app, allowing you to trigger an emergency response by holding the button for three seconds. You can also configure up to four shortcut buttons on the main screen for quick access to frequently used functions like garage doors, gates, or lighting outputs.
Zone management is straightforward — view the status of up to eight zones per page, bypass individual zones when needed, and filter the display to show only the information that matters to you. The navigation menu provides quick access to zones, outputs, doors, and the complete history log.

iFob Control is ideal for homeowners and business operators who want convenient, secure access to their alarm system without being tied to a physical keypad. It’s particularly valuable for property managers, holiday rental operators, and anyone managing multiple sites who needs to monitor and control access from a single interface.
The app integrates with professionally monitored alarm systems, so you get the best of both worlds — the convenience of smartphone control with the security of 24/7 professional monitoring. When an alarm activates, you’ll receive instant notifications while your monitoring station responds according to your escalation procedures.
