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.

Applications Used

Lighting - Switching, Dimming, Light Scenes, Timed Control, Lighting Colour Control
Heating, Ventilation & Air conditioning (HVAC) - Central & Automatic Control, Timed Operation Modes, Weather Dependent Control, CO2 / Humidity Measuring
Security and Safety - Faults (e.g. Leak Detection, Glass Break Detection, Window Contacts)
Operation and Visualisation - Switches / Push Buttons, PC Visualisation, Web Servers, Tablets and smart phones
Energy Management/Smart Metering - Metering, Data Logging, Visualisation, Current Detection
Other
Automation and Remote Access - Timed Functions, Logical Functions, Internet Access, Messaging (e.g. SMS)
Blind and Shutter Control

Customers Description

Intelligent aquarium as a home automation demonstration model controlled through a web visualization on www.inteligentniakvarium.cz. Fully automated aquarium with control of all technologies (lights, heating, filtration, air bubbles, temperature, energy and pH metering, water leak detection, circuit breakers control, IP camera live feed...), even feeding. Everything is set up to be able to try every function, but also keep the optimal parameters when nobody is in charge. Project was made as a Diploma thesis on ČVUT Prague, Czech republic.
