Why choose Zigbee?

Zigbee is a great choice for creating a smart home because of its efficiency, reliability and flexibility. If you want a system that is easy to scale and integrate, Zigbee is a reliable solution for your needs.

Conclusion

The Zigbee system is an affordable and powerful tool for controlling your smart home. Whether you want to automate lighting, security, or climate control now or in the future, Zigbee offers solutions that make your life easier and your home smarter.

Meet the INNO system: Smart home with wired connection

What is INNO?

The INNO system is an Estonian smart home technology that uses a wired connection to control various functions in your home. The system is based on standards that allow each sensor to be connected with a separate cable, which provides reliability and flexibility in use.

Key features of the INNO system:

• Wired connection: Each device, including switches, is connected to the central system via separate wires. This reduces the risk of communication loss and allows for easy integration of standard electrical solutions.
  
  
• Automation and control: The INNO system allows you to automate the control of lighting, heating and other systems. You can set different operating scenarios, such as "Good morning" or "I'm leaving", which will automatically perform the necessary actions, such as opening the curtains or turning off the lights.
  
  
• Energy efficiency: With the monitoring feature, the system helps track power consumption in real time, which helps identify the most costly devices and optimize their use, especially during times of preferential electricity rates.
  
  
• Safety and Security: INNO includes security systems such as motion detectors and burglar alarms. You will be notified of any unusual activity in your home, providing an extra layer of protection.
  
  
• Compatibility: The system can be easily integrated into existing electrical networks, allowing it to be used in different types of buildings, from homes to commercial premises. This makes INNO a versatile solution for creating a smart home.
  
  
• Easy to use: All devices and functions can be controlled from a single application, simplifying interaction and making the system intuitive to use.
  
  
• Easy return to a traditional system: One of the great advantages of INNO is that you can easily switch from a smart home to a traditional home. Since it uses standard wired solutions, you can always remove the automation from the panel circuit without losing the ability to use traditional appliances.

Conclusion

INNO is not just technology, it is a step towards smarter and safer living. By taking advantage of a wired system, you get a reliable and efficient solution for your home, ensuring maximum comfort and security.

Meet KNX: The intelligent control system for your smart home

What is KNX?

KNX is an international standard for controlling smart homes and buildings. This system enables the integration of various devices and technologies into a single solution, providing convenience and functionality in controlling lighting, heating, ventilation, security and other aspects of home comfort.

Benefits of KNX

• Flexibility and scalability: KNX is suitable for small homes as well as large commercial buildings. You can start with a few devices and gradually expand the system as needed, with new devices instantly added to the same circuit.
  
  
• Compatibility: KNX is supported by more than 500 manufacturers, providing a wide range of compatible devices and components.
