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 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.
02
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.
03
A company producing multi-protocol gateways for integrating climate control equipment of various brands with home automation protocols.
04
A globally renowned French company that manufactures a wide range of electrical installation products, including smart home systems based on KNX. The company is known for high quality, innovation, and stylish design.
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
The KNX technology was chosen as the basis for the system, allowing implementation of all the above-mentioned functions. Next, our design department selected all the necessary equipment and prepared documentation for installation.
02
Switchboards Assembly
Once the equipment ordered for the project arrived, we started assembling the automation system electrical switchboards right in our office. After assembly, we conducted a series of electrical tests using special equipment.
03
Switchboard Connection
Next, we proceeded to connect the switchboards that were pre-assembled in our office. Over 500 cable lines were connected to the electrical switchboards in total. Each cable has a unique identifier recorded in the cable log.
04
End Equipment Installation
After the furniture delivery and cleaning of the premises from construction dust, we began installing control panels, security sensors, and other devices. We also mounted 9 surveillance cameras on the facade of the house.
05
System Commissioning
The final stage involved setting up the smart home system and calibrating the home theater. To calibrate the home theater, we used an special calibration microphone. Additionally, we programmed automation scenarios.
This section describes the final result, functions, control methods and automation scenarios that are implemented in the project.
Result
Functions
01
Smart Lighting
The system controls all lighting groups. The main light sources support brightness adjustment (dimming), and staircase lighting automation and motion sensors are installed in passage areas.
02
Security Systems
Smoke and carbon monoxide sensors are installed in the kitchen, boiler room, and garage. When danger is detected, a siren is activated, and a distress notification is sent to the application. Video surveillance cameras are also installed around the perimeter of the house.
03
Climate Control
Radiator heating, underfloor heating, air conditioners and ventilation systems are integrated into a single network. Ventilation and air conditioning integration was done using the Modbus protocol. A wall thermostat is installed in each room.
04
Curtains Control
Curtains in bedrooms, children's rooms, and guest rooms can be controlled from the smart home system. The system also controls motorized windows in several rooms. The system supports the function of automatically closing all curtains at dusk.
05
Wireless Internet
The house and adjacent territory are equipped with a wireless internet network with a maximum speed of up to 1 Gbps. In addition to the main wired internet channel, the system supports a backup using GSM technology.
Control
25 functional control panels and 8 Legrand Living Now climate control panels in white and black are installed in the house. In technical rooms, ordinary switches are installed to optimize the budget.
Touch Screens
A touchscreen based on the Apple iPad and iPort a wall-mount, specially commissioned in the combination colour of white and gray, is installed in the main living room. The screen allows not only for controlling all functions but also for viewing cameras.
Personal Devices
All system functions can be controlled from personal smartphones and tablets using the app. Access to the home is available from anywhere in the world with internet access.
Classic Switches
Classic switches with bell-type mechanisms are installed in technical rooms of the house. This solution minimizes the number of KNX panels and saves the overall project budget.
