# Voldeno Studio - Installation and Walkthrough
Voldeno Studio enables you to create, edit, and deploy device configurations and automation logic within a smart home system.

# Install
- Download the build for your platform from the downloads page. Windows, macOS and Linux packages are published together for every release.
- Run the installer and accept the default location unless your organisation requires otherwise.
- Start Studio and sign in with your Voldeno account.
Studio is a desktop application. It talks to the Hub directly over the local network, so a project can be opened, edited and deployed on a site with no internet connection.
# What you configure in Studio
Studio covers the whole path from a powered panel to a working installation:
- Modules. Studio discovers the modules present on the Voldeno Bus and shows their terminal voltages, firmware versions and I/O state. This is also where a commissioning check confirms that every module on the bus is reachable.
- Logic. Logic blocks are placed and wired in a visual editor, grouped into tabs per area or function. Blocks that need behaviour the standard set does not cover are written in Volang.
- Schedules. Time-based behaviour, including operation modes that distinguish workdays from holidays, is edited on a visual timeline. See Schedules.
- Deployment. A project is compiled and deployed to the Hub, which distributes the logic to the modules that run it.
- Simulation. Logic can be exercised before it reaches the hardware, which is how most configuration mistakes are found.
# Connect to a Hub
Studio finds the Hub on the local network segment it shares with your computer. If the Hub does not appear, confirm the Ethernet cable is patched into the same segment and that the module has booted, then re-run discovery. Hub module wiring covers the physical side.
# Where to go next
- How to define logic in Voldeno Studio from scratch walks through a first project end to end: connecting to the Hub, building logic groups, mapping registers, simulating, deploying and pairing Voldeno Mobile.
- Logic Blocks is the reference for every block: inputs, outputs, configuration and state.
- Core concepts and terminology explains how Studio, the Hub and the modules divide the work between them.
