- By implementing this technology for automation in houses and buildings it is saved 30-40% energy, and it is reduced the emission of harmful gasses. The energy is used intelligently by increasing the energy efficiency of the buildings.
- The implemented automation in the installation for lighting, heating and cooling allows controlling the building also via software that is executed on computer or smartphone. If the system is connected to Internet, the building can be also controlled remotely. These possibilities significantly increase the comfort by using this type of installations, compared to classic installations.
- By implementation of automation in lighting, it can be enabled automaticswitching on of the light, if there ispresenceof peopleand automaticswitching off of the same, ifno oneispresent.The lightcan be setto glitter from 0to 100%. The constantlightin the roomis enabled bysetting up the intensity ofthelightdependingon the intensity ofthedaylight.The lightcan be controlledalsothroughsoftwarerunning oncomputeror phone.
- The shutters or the blinds cango upordownon aswitch.The movement ofthe same can be automateddepending on the timein the day(in the morningto go up and in the evening to go down) ordepending onthewind speed(at high wind speedtogo down, at low wind speedto go up).The shutters or the blindscanbe controlledalsobysoftwarerunning oncomputer or phone.
- The heating and the cooling can also be automated in order to save energy and to increase the comfort. It can be set up the desired temperature and the system will reach the same. If a door or a window is opened for a longer time, the heating/cooling will automatically turn off in such room in order to save the energy.
- The functions of the installation in the building, implemented by KNX standard, may be by changing the programs in the devices, without needing to be changed the installation itself.
- Large number of sensors is available, which can measure different physical quantities in the same, in defined time interval and to send to a computer system, which can register them in adequate database. The obtained data can be analyzed, can be drawn charts or depending on certain values to undertake some actions. For example, if a sensor measures a value larger than some limit value, it can be turned on or off a device or it can be sent an SMS or an email.
- There are sensors for temperature, lighting, pressure, air moisture, wind speed, CO2, oxygen, presence of water and many others. The ultimate switch actuators measure also the current power consumption. The information on the consumption can be sent to a computer system and stored in database, thus allowing further various data processing.
