Home Automation, Building Management

Example Design Home automation system – eHouse for Living Room

• Dimensions 8 * 6m (48m2) ceiling height of 3m
• Design optimized to achieve comfort automation and  100% functionality RoomManager
• Floor heating two separate sections , Adjustable floor temperature and air temperature in the room
• LED Lights 12V only, various types
• Fireplace with decorative lighting and forced air circulation
• complete lighting and home automation  management from IR Remote Controller SONY
• Audio , Video,  HiFi,  TV,  Sat controled from RoomManager
• programs, profiles, scenes (for lighting and heating by electric switches)

Suspended ceiling with plaster – board fitted with fittings G4 (for 12V halogen)
wires were distributed at the stage of gypsum panels assembly – cardboard and drilled holes for light fixtures G4 . Luminaires fitted before painting the room.

Achieved system functions in the demo design:

• 15 independently controlled segments of the lighting (light group) Body
• 2 independently controlled lighting segments Terrace
• control 2 independent heating zones underfloor heating in Living Room
• Floor temperature control 2 independent heating zones
• independent heating block for two heating zones in excess of the required temperature in the room
• night lights automatically switched on at too low level of lighting outside the building (after dark)
• turn the speakers  on / off  at the terrace
• automatic on the fan forcing air circulation near fireplace  for heating
• lighting, heating, outputs and all automation functions controled from Sony Remote controller (IR)

LED lighting has been designed as follows:

• The main lighting multipoint (ceiling) in the ring-shaped lines .
  Each section (ring), controlled and activated by 2 outputs  of RoomManager (even and odd lamps separately) .
  The distance between the rings 60cm .
• RGB LED lighting Placed centrally – controlled from 3 channel RGB dimmer .
• Perimeter lighting on all three types of free wall decorative wall lamps (red colors , blue , green)  mixed.
• Automatic Night Lights .
• Lighting over the couch .
• main terrace Lighting the
• Side terrace lighting
• Diffused lighting for watching TV, LED strip for the grille of the gypsum  cardboard
• LED ribbon Lighting for  glass table . Lighting glass decorative chest of drawers with glass shelf, each a different color – LED strips .
