Detailed Description
Energy Efficiency
The usage of automated functions already save energy in every installation. Especially the usage of KNX has a lot of potential for further energy savings, which can contribute to a better environmental footprint. Be extending KNX to more functions and applications, energy savings of up to 60% can be realised. Thanks to the flexibility of KNX, these functions can easily be implemented in this installation
Innovation
Smart homes and buildings are always an upgrade in comparison to a conventional installation. Not only automated functions and a higher level of comfort contribute to a higher living standard, but also the possibility to be ready for coming innovations. Thanks to the usage of KNX, the door has been opened to integrate new innovative solutions, using the worldwide STANDARD for home and building control.

Customers Description
Automation of lighting using relay and dimmer devices. Using Gira switches to control lighting, select lighting moods and check room temperature. As an interface we used loxone to be able to have an app and remote access to it. The system was left ready to add heating, security and other smart devices in the future. Items used TheBen Dimmer, TheBen Relays, Gira Switches containing temperature sensors. The whole system is being control by using a Loxone Miniserver giving the client remote access to their home. By using loxone we were able to easily add time control for certain lights in the house, away mode for lights using simulation. We have more than 10 years experience in home automation.
