System overview

The Evoko room booking system consist of Evoko Liso devices that are installed outside the meeting rooms, and the Evoko Home application which connects to the booking system and is used to manage the Liso devices.

Evoko Home can be installed as a service in the company network, on-premises or in the cloud, which enables several features like user management, statistics and remote management of the Liso devices (Default mode).

Optionally, you can manage the Liso devices manually by installing Evoko Home on a desktop where you set up the configuration and transfer it with a USB stick to the devices (Limited mode).

Default mode 

We recommend that you install Evoko Home on a server in your network. This enables full functionality, including remote management, multi-site support, user management, monitoring and statistics. This is especially important for larger installations.

General installation process

• Make the necessary preparations in the booking system
• Install Evoko Home on a Windows or Linux server
• Connect Evoko Home to booking system
• Use Evoko Home to configure rooms, users etc.
• Connect Evoko Liso to Evoko Home server and assign it to a room
