iNELS is the home and building automation brand of ELKO EP, based in Holesov, Czech Republic. It covers wired iNELS BUS, wireless RF and Matter products for lighting, shading, heating and energy, plus solutions for hotels, controlled from the iNELS mobile app and iNELS Cloud.

Works with full table
iNELS is a system a professional installer typically designs: central units and wireless gateways run the logic locally, and the apps, cloud dashboard and voice assistants sit on top. The wiki documents MQTT, and iNELS lists KNX, BACnet, Modbus, a REST API and Matter as ways to connect other systems.
That suits new builds, renovations and hotels that want a professional system with open interfaces. It is less suited to a quick plug-in purchase, and the app and platform landscape is fragmented, with several apps for different hardware generations and a Home Assistant integration that was still limited to switches.

The current mobile controller in the stores. It works with iNELS RF wireless elements through a gateway, for sockets, dimming, blinds, garage doors, heating and sensors, with a dashboard, camera previews and scenes. The developer says support for more devices, central units and third-party devices will follow. The Android id comes from a third-party listing.
A second App Store listing under the name iNELS with the same description as iNELS Home. We could not confirm how it relates to iNELS Home.
Controls RF installations through the eLAN-RF-003 or eLAN-RF-003-Wi smart box with up to 40 components, with remote access through ELKO's cloud. It adds cameras, admin and user roles, scenes and widgets.
The earlier local RF app for the same smart boxes. Its last release is marked end of support, and the listing does not name a successor.
A demo version of the iNELS Home Control app that connects to ELKO EP showrooms in Prague, Holesov and Nitra. The listing describes the full app as controlling iNELS home and building automation over the local network or the internet. Last updated in 2020.
