This section describes the brands that we used in the project, as well as the list of work that was carried out as part of the system installation.
Solution
Selected brands
01
A company producing multi-protocol gateways for integrating climate control equipment of various brands with home automation protocols.
02
A well-known brand that produces equipment based on the KNX standard. The company's headquarters is located in Spain. The distinctive feature of the devices is their flexibility in configuration and high reliability.
03
An American brand producing revolutionary mounting systems for Apple iPad tablets. The equipment allows mounting the tablet on the wall or table, with some models featuring built-in wireless charging.
04
A market leader in WiFi equipment. Thanks to its proprietary adaptive antenna technology, the manufacturer's access points confidently win in multi-shift tests conducted by independent technical laboratories.
05
A leading company in security system manufacturing. They offer a wide range of products, including water and gas leak sensors, motion sensors, smoke detectors, and more. All AJAX products easily integrate into the smart home system.
Completed works
01
Designing
At the customer's request, in this project we paid special attention to the heating control system. Since the main source of heat was underfloor heating, it was decided to use special integrated thermostats.
02
Switchboards’ Connection
The cablework on this project, was laid by the general contractor according to our specification. Upon completion of this work, we proceeded to connect the electrical switchboard and server cabinet to all incoming cable lines. A total of 450 lines were connected.
03
Switchboards’ Assembly
After connecting the cable lines, we began assembling the switchboards. The main place in the electrical panel was allocated for 24-channel relay blocks from Zennio, which were responsible for controlling lighting and heating servo drives.
04
Equipment on Premises
After completing the finishing works, we proceeded to install end equipment. The following devices were installed in the premises of the house: Zennio control panels, seamless Wi-Fi access points, video surveillance cameras, and other devices.
05
Programming
The final stage was programming. For this, we used ETS5 software, which allows configuring a smart home on the base of KNX protocol. For fine-tuning climate systems, we used a thermal imager.
This section describes the final result, functions, control methods and automation scenarios that are implemented in the project.
Result
Functions
01
Smart Lighting
All lighting groups, including facade and landscape lighting of the adjacent territory, are connected to the system. A schedule is set up for landscape lighting, which automatically activates all groups when it gets dark.
02
Climate control
All climate systems in the house are controlled by the smart home.Additionally, a scenario "I arrived" was developed, which allows to remotely turn on the climate systems and prepare the house for owner’s return.
03
Curtains Control
In this project, smart home controls not only Roman and roller blinds but also motorized windows. A function of automatically closing all curtains when it gets dark was added.
04
Security Systems
The security system includes: video surveillance, water leakage control, which notifies of an emergency and shuts off water, as well as a video intercom system that allows you to open the door from anywhere in the world. All functions work from a single application.
05
Household systems
The system has taken control of the sauna with an electric stove. It's possible to activate the sauna via the app and select the desired temperature in the steam room.
Control
All smart home functions can be controlled using Zennio control panels with backlighting and individual engraving on buttons. The panels are equipped with built-in temperature and humidity sensors.
Touch Screens
Touch screens based on Apple iPad and iPort wall mounts made of black aluminum were installed on the Ground and 1st floors. Touch screens allow you to receive video intercom calls and watch cameras.
Voice Control
In the main living room area, voice control is implemented using Amazon Alexa. The system supports up to 20 individual voice commands preprogrammed by customer request.
Personal Devices
All system functions can be controlled from personal smartphones or tablets through a special application from anywhere in the world with internet access. Interior photos of the object have been added to the application interface.
