Wir sehen Smart Building als Herausforderung, die zwei Aufgaben erfüllen muss: Das Leben einfacher machen und nicht aufdringlich sein. Beides erreichen wir durch die Kombination moderner, bewährter Hardware und unserer App, die es Ihnen ganz ohne Programmierung ermöglicht, Ihr Gebäude an Ihre Wünsche anzupassen. Licht kann im Smart Building Automation System über die App oder über Taster gesteuert werden. Darüber hinaus können ganz unterschiedliche Lichter und Lichteffekte über Szenen ganz einfach in der App erstellt werden. Neben der einfachen manuellen Steuerung von Jalousien ist es mit Smart Building Automation auch möglich, Jalousien abhängig vom Sonnenstand automatisch zu steuern. Dank der Integration von Netatmo im Smart Building Automation System [AK9.1]sind Sie laufend informiert über die Luftqualität, den Sauerstoffgehalt und die Luftfeuchtigkeit informiert. Smart Building Automation ergänzt diese Informationen noch um aktuelle Pollenwarnwerte in Ihrer Region. Smart Building Automation sorgt auch dafür, dass Sie auch die richtigen Informationen zur richtigen Zeit bekommen. So sehen Sie in der App, ob der Postbote vor der Tür steht oder doch jemand, den Sie eigentlich nicht in Ihr Haus lassen wollen.
