Has your electricity been rejected due to a missing situation sketch or floor plan? Or have you renovated your house and do you still have to draw up schemas? Don't worry: now you can make this quick and easy on your iPac! Fantastic right? Are you a professional electrician? Tricity is also the ideal tool to generate schemas for you! How? You can very quickly create a floor plan in Tricity (or start from an existing floor plan in JPG or PDF). After this you add the electrical components in the correct place (sockets, switches, lighting), after which you enter the layout of the fuse box. Finally, indicate which components are located behind which fuse and you're done. With 1 push of a button, Tricity generates the situation sketches (for all floors!) as well as the wire diagrams (for 1 or more fuse boxes). Tricity also generates diagrams for home automation installations (Niko Home Control, Bticino MyHome, KNX, ..) and allows you to add additional information to the diagrams (addressing metadata, ..). Tricity also generates diagrams for solar panel installations and allows additional information (brand of solar panel, inverter, battery, ...) to be added to the diagrams. Support for diagrams and inspections of charging stations is also provided (as well as additional information about type, etc.). Tricity is compatible with AREI 2026 (latest version). Tricity checks for AREI violations (e.g. a socket connected to 1.5mm2 cabling) and displays warnings. The diagrams can be used for official electricity inspections in Belgium and the Netherland.
