Detailed description

Energy Efficiency

The usage of automated functions already save energy in every installation. Especially the usage of KNX has a lot of potential for further energy savings, which can contribute to a better environmental footprint. Be extending KNX to more functions and applications, energy savings of up to 60% can be realised. Thanks to the flexibility of KNX, these functions can easily be implemented in this installation

Innovation

Smart homes and buildings are always an upgrade in comparison to a conventional installation. Not only automated functions and a higher level of comfort contribute to a higher living standard, but also the possibility to be ready for coming innovations. Thanks to the usage of KNX, the door has been opened to integrate new innovative solutions, using the worldwide STANDARD for home and building control.

Ease of Use

By integrating KNX, we automatically experience a higher energy efficiency and comfort. Furthermore, by the possibility to use further devices, in order to make the usage of the project easier, we can look at further opportunity to even make the whole installation easier in usage.

Customer's description

Wat er van de techniek zichtbaar is, zijn eigenlijk alleen de strakke, vlakke schakelaars aan de wanden, een aantal bewegingsmelders en twee touchscreens. De satijnwitte KNX-ruimtecontrollers van Basalte – Enzo genaamd – zien er eenvoudig uit, maar zijn slim en multifunctioneel. In elke ruimte geven ze de gebruikers toegang tot de basisfuncties van het domoticasysteem: die van licht-, gordijn- en deursturing. Het volledige oppervlak van de controller is aanraakgevoelig waardoor de vier knoppen meerdere functies kunnen krijgen. Door rechtsboven aan te klikken gaan hier bijvoorbeeld de gordijnen dicht, met de knop rechtsonder sluit je de dichtstbijzijnde deur. De twee linker knoppen zetten lichtscenes in werking en door meerdere oppervlakken tegelijk aan te raken, wordt je favoriete sfeer opgeroepen. De led-achtergrondverlichting van de schakelaars dient zowel ter oriëntatie in het donker als om statusfeedback te geven. In iedere ruimte rapporteert de temperatuursensor
