Which benefits does Smart Home offer?

The term Smart Home stands for the mo­dern pos­si­bi­li­tes of home au­to­ma­ti­on. Smart Home is a house­hold, where house­hold and mul­ti­me­dia de­vices are net­wor­ked, in­ter­act with each other and can be con­trol­led re­mo­te­ly from a cen­tral lo­ca­ti­on. This re­sults in many advantages:

Save energy

With home au­to­ma­ti­on, you can re­du­ce your en­er­gy con­sump­ti­on and the­re­fo­re your elec­tri­ci­ty costs, be­cau­se you only use en­er­gy when you are in the house. Never heat out the win­dow again by com­bi­ning smart ra­di­a­tor ther­mo­stats with door and win­dow contacts.

More security

With smart tech­no­lo­gy, you can al­ways keep an eye on your home. Smart alarm sys­tems in­form you im­me­di­a­te­ly if so­me­thing is wrong. Motion de­tec­tors, ca­me­ras and cont­act de­tec­tors can be used for net­wor­ked home mo­ni­to­ring. And in the event of a fire? Networked smoke de­tec­tors sound the alarm in good time.

More convenience

Automated ap­pli­ca­ti­ons are pure con­ve­ni­ence. No more time-​consuming rai­sing of shut­ters, no more lif­ting ga­ra­ge doors. Gentle stair­ca­se ligh­ting is trig­ge­red by mo­ti­on de­tec­tors. The cof­fee is fresh­ly made in the mor­ning. Is the sun sud­den­ly shi­ning stron­ger than you ex­pec­ted? Extend the aw­ning while you're out and about. And in the evening? Your pre­he­a­ted li­ving room awaits you with feel-​good ligh­ting and your fa­vo­ri­te music.

Value enhancement

There's no doubt about it: among the nu­merous op­ti­ons, there are also many gim­micks bet­ween the use­ful and hel­pful ap­pli­ca­ti­ons. But whe­ther necess­a­ry or not, equip­ping your pro­per­ty with in­tel­li­gent tech­no­lo­gy will in­crease its value and pre­pa­re it for the de­mands of the fu­ture. The in­vest­ment is worthwhile in any case. After all, it has long been clear that smart tech­no­lo­gy will soon be stan­dard equipment.

Removing barriers

Intelligent home tech­no­lo­gy is not only con­ve­ni­ent, it can also be the so­lu­ti­on for re­du­cing bar­ri­ers and ma­king life ea­sier in old age or en­su­ring that people can live alone in their own four walls for much lon­ger. Good ex­amp­les of this are the in­te­gra­ti­on of age-​appropriate as­sis­tance sys­tems and the au­to­ma­ti­on of ever­y­day ope­ra­ti­ons, e.g. for shut­ters, win­dows, ligh­ting and heating.


Which possibilites does modern building automation offer?

Modern buil­ding tech­no­lo­gy is used to au­to­ma­te ever­y­day pro­ces­ses and to adapt and con­trol de­vice set­tings con­ve­ni­ent­ly, ea­si­ly and quick­ly to your in­di­vi­du­al needs both at home and on the move using a smart­phone, com­pu­ter, hand si­gnals or voice commands.

Depending on the smart home sys­tem, you can con­trol and query prac­ti­cal­ly ever­y­thing that you can con­nect to com­pa­ti­ble de­vices. In ad­di­ti­on to the cen­tral con­trol unit, there are so-​called sen­sors and ac­tu­a­tors. The sen­sors check cer­tain things and then send cor­re­spon­ding si­gnals to the ac­tu­a­tors, which then ope­ra­te the cor­re­spon­ding func­tion on the de­si­red de­vice. Here are a few examples.


Questions you'll never have to worry about again with a smart home

  • Are all the windows closed?
  • Is the stove off?
  • Have I turned down the heating?
  • Who is at the door?
  • Is my house safe when I'm on vacation?
  • How will the neighbor get in to water the flowers when I'm on vacation?
  • Have I retracted the awning?
  • What if somone does break in?
  • What else do I need to buy?

Automated throughout the day

The simplest function of a smart home is, of course, that time-based scenes can be programmed in. For example, 30 minutes before you have to get up, the heating is turned up and 10 minutes before, the shutters open a little.

When it is time to get up, they open fully and the light dims slowly for a moment until you are awake. You can also listen to your favorite song, which slowly gets louder and louder. This wakes you up without stress.

Of course, you can program other scenes for your weekend and, if you wish, you can even use an electronic calendar to set all public holidays.

Scenes with motion detectors

Turning on the light when you enter a room is no longer something special. Motion detectors make it possible. However, with a connection to your smart home, entire scenes can be activated as soon as certain rooms are entered.

For example, lights can be switched off directly as soon as other light sensors are activated elsewhere. In this way, an entire corridor can be kept illuminated. At night, the cameras can also be switched on to record who was present. Above a desired light threshold, the motion sensors are switched off so that the lights do not come on during the day.

Scenes with sun sensors

With a sun sensor, the shutters open when it gets light, depending on the setting. It is also possible to extend an awning in the same way. As soon as it gets dark again, everything closes again. In an office room, however, the following would also be conceivable: You set it so that when the sun is dazzling in the window, the shutters automatically lower until the glare stops. If necessary, additional lighting is switched on to maintain optimum brightness.

Do I still have milk, eggs and vegetables?

It's often the little things that make you feel the convenience of technology: With a smart fridge, you can see what's currently in it through a fridge camera, even when you're on the move.

As soon as you switch to the camera from your cell phone using the app, the internal fridge lighting comes on and you can see how many eggs you have left and whether there is still enough milk in the fridge.

Is the stove still on?

We've all been there: you're on your way to the office and wonder whether you've really turned off the oven and hob. One option would be to drive back to check or to live the whole day with the uneasy feeling that the oven might still be on.

With a smart home and a connected stove, you can conveniently see this when you're out and about and you'll even be warned when you leave the house. And the best thing is: if you have actually left the hob or oven on, you can also switch it off conveniently while you are out and about.

Scenes with weather stations

Just as the sun sensors on the windows can show you the position of the sun, weather stations can show you what the weather is like indoors and also provide a reliable forecast.

Is the humidity rising, is the wind blowing and is it threatening to rain? The weather station ensures that the awning is retracted. At the same time, the roller shutters are lowered a little so that the windows do not get wet.

When the rain starts, the shut­ters are lowe­red com­ple­te­ly, the lights come on a litt­le and as soon as it's all over, the lights go out while the shut­ters are rai­sed again.


How do I use a Smart Home?

To ac­cess the sys­tem, you can choo­se from va­rious con­trol ele­ments to con­trol and pro­gram the Smart Home ap­pli­ca­ti­ons. How you want to con­trol your home and which dif­fe­rent ele­ments you want to use is en­ti­re­ly up to you. We pre­sent the most com­mon­ly used types below:

Smartphone, tablet & Co.

Most people as­so­ci­a­te a smart home with con­trol via smart­phone, ta­blet, lap­top or desk­top PC at home. Less well known, howe­ver, are por­ta­ble hand-​held trans­mit­ters, i.e. prac­ti­cal­ly de­di­ca­ted re­mo­te con­trols or per­ma­nent­ly in­stal­led con­trol pa­nels or smart swit­ches. After all, you want to be able to con­trol your home even when your cell phone is in the char­ging sta­ti­on and your ta­blet is being used by so­me­o­ne else.

Siri, Alexa, Google & Co.

But ope­ra­ting a smart home via your cell phone doesn't neces­sa­ri­ly mean that you have to pull out your phone, start the app pro­vi­ded and na­vi­ga­te to the ap­pro­pri­a­te menu to make the right set­tings. Smart also means that you can in­te­gra­te exis­ting voice as­sistants such as Siri, Alexa and Google into your smart home so that you can give voice com­mands from the com­fort of your couch.

Which smart home system?

There are many sys­tems - it al­ways de­pends on what you in­tend to do with it, what you value and what your price ex­pec­ta­ti­ons are.

  1. Data security

    There are pro­ducts for in­no­va­ti­ve home au­to­ma­ti­on in every price ca­te­go­ry. However, cheap no-​name pro­ducts often have a de­ci­si­ve di­sad­van­ta­ge: short­co­mings in data se­cu­ri­ty. High-quality bran­ded pro­ducts, on the other hand, ge­ne­ral­ly gu­a­ran­tee a high level of data security.

  2. Flexibility

    The mar­ket for buil­ding au­to­ma­ti­on and in­tel­li­gent ap­pli­ca­ti­ons is con­stant­ly gro­wing. You should re­main fle­xi­ble here, as it is li­kely that you will want to ex­pand your smart home sys­tem in a few years' time. Radio-based sys­tems are parti­cu­lar­ly easy and un­com­pli­ca­ted to re­tro­fit with ad­di­ti­o­nal components.

Whether apartment or house, rented or owned, new build or renovation: smart home solutions are always possible.

What does a smart home cost?

A basic distinction is made between wireless systems and wired systems, which also affects the price. The cost of smart technology for your home naturally depends on your wishes and ideas. Are you simply looking for an intelligent camera with person detection? Are you looking for a complete system with different alarm systems, heating and lighting control? Do you want an open or closed system? We will be happy to advise you individually and recommend a product that meets your requirements.

Retrofitting a smart home

Of course, if you have a new build, a smart home system can be planned, wired and connected in the best possible way. But there are also simple solutions in all areas for retrofitting your desired system.

There are various retrofit solutions that use different types of networking. Possible types for intelligent communication between the connected devices include radio, Bluetooth, bus cable, Internet, power line and the WLAN network. There is no general answer in advance as to which transmission is best. It depends on which brands you prefer and what you want to control. This in turn determines which smart home system is suitable for you and how it connects to the connected devices.

Based on our experience and knowledge of the products and systems on the market, we can provide you with the best advice in the smart home sector. Regardless of whether you already have specific “smart” wishes or not - simply come to us. We will provide you with comprehensive advice, recommend products that have proven themselves over the long term and implement everything the way you want it.

Smart building - building control for companies

Smart Building is ba­‌si­‌cal­‌ly like Smart Home, but for com­‌mer­‌cial buil­‌dings. Nowadays, hard­‌ly any com­‌mer­‌cial buil­‌ding is con­‌struc­‌ted wit­‌hout a buil­‌ding con­‌trol sys­‌tem. Find out from us about the pos­‌si­‌bi­‌li­‌ties, the dif­‌fe­‌rent sys­‌tems and why we are one of the best cont­‌acts for smart buil­‌ding concepts.

Smart building in office buildings

Smart building in office buildings

Every em­p­loy­er ex­pects pro­duc­ti­vi­ty and ef­fi­ci­en­cy from its em­p­loyees. It is well known that em­p­loyee com­mit­ment in­creases with em­p­loyee sa­tis­fac­tion. This makes it all the more im­portant to crea­te an en­vi­ron­ment in which a plea­sant working at­mo­s­phe­re can de­ve­lop. The room tem­pe­ra­tu­re, for ex­amp­le, is cru­cial here. If it is only a few de­grees below or above the ideal value of 21 de­grees Celsius, per­for­mance de­creases. Intelligent tem­pe­ra­tu­re con­trol en­su­res op­ti­mum use of the hea­ting or air con­di­ti­o­ning system.

Energy costs

In ad­di­ti­on to the feel-​good tem­pe­ra­tu­re, en­er­gy costs also play a major role. Unnecessary hea­ting or coo­ling is a thing of the past thanks to me­a­su­ring sen­sors. If the cont­acts re­gis­ter an open win­dow, for ex­amp­le, the hea­ting flow can be in­ter­rup­ted au­to­ma­ti­cal­ly so that money is not “bur­ned” un­neces­sa­ri­ly - in the tru­est sense of the word.

Smart building in schools and kindergartens

Intelligent buil­ding con­trol in schools and kin­der­gar­tens is much more than just cen­t­ral­ly con­trol­led rol­ler shut­ters or tem­pe­ra­tu­re con­trol for the en­ti­re buil­ding. It re­gu­la­tes and ad­justs in­de­pen­dent­ly by re­ac­ting to cer­tain con­di­ti­ons, such as the weather, so that en­er­gy can be saved and les­sons can run smooth­ly. Thanks to the co­ro­na ex­pe­ri­ence, CO2 sen­sors can also me­a­su­re whe­ther the ven­ti­la­ti­on sys­tem should be ac­ti­va­ted so that the buil­ding con­trol sys­tem can au­to­ma­ti­cal­ly switch the ven­ti­la­ti­on on and off based on this data.

Saving energy

How often is the hea­ting on when the win­dows are cra­cked open in class to let some oxy­gen into the room? What use is the most ef­fi­ci­ent LED ligh­ting if it is swit­ched on even though ever­y­o­ne has al­re­a­dy left the school buil­ding? With an in­tel­li­gent buil­ding con­trol sys­tem, you can pre­vent such circumstances.

Smart building in public facilities

Major cuts in the bud­get make it a chal­len­ge for many pu­blic fa­ci­li­ties to meet the needs of users. If the hea­ting is on when the win­dow is open or the light is on for hours in an unu­sed room, the high en­er­gy bills will mer­ci­less­ly ex­po­se such ne­gli­gence. This can­not hap­pen with a buil­ding con­trol sys­tem. Even sha­ding can be com­ple­te­ly au­to­ma­tic in sum­mer, so that se­mi­nar rooms, for ex­amp­le, do not heat up du­ring non-​usage times.

Security management

As there is an in­creased need for per­so­nal se­cu­ri­ty, parti­cu­lar­ly in pu­blic fa­ci­li­ties such as schools or swim­ming pools, mo­dern mo­ni­to­ring sys­tems have be­co­me es­sen­ti­al. Networking the buil­ding con­trol sys­tem with a video sys­tem en­a­bles cen­tra­li­zed ma­nage­ment of the en­ti­re building.

Smart building in hospitals

Smart building in hospitals

The high cost pressure caused by empty healthcare budgets and rising personnel and administration costs is forcing hospitals and their administrations to act efficiently and economically. Savings are the inevitable consequence - but these should not be at the expense of the patient. The building technology of the 21st century offers the opportunity to reduce costs and improve patient care at the same time. In a modern hospital, the digital control and communication channels must be designed in a variety of ways in order to meet the requirements.

Patients regulate themselves

In addition to the entertainment function, the touchscreen also offers a connection to the rest of the building technology. This enables patients to make emergency calls, control heating and lighting from their bed and open or close blinds and windows just as easily. Of course, this intelligent infrastructure can be expanded and adapted to new circumstances at any time.
