Home Control System

Value proposition

• Dimming: 8 to 16%
  
• Presence / Movement detection: 10 to 20%
  
• Scheduling: 20 to 40%

• IHC is a centralised Home Control System offering Comfort & Efficiency, Safety and Security to consumers through a wide range of applications (e.g. lighting/shutter/climate control, gas/smoke/water-leakage detection).
  
• All inputs/sensors (e.g. pushbuttons, movement detectors) and outputs/actuators (e.g. socket outlets, lights, shutters, heaters, fans) are connected via cables or wireless to a central controller loaded with all necessary programming.
  

Architecture

Main Energy Efficiency characteristics

• Dimming: Give users the means to adapt lighting level to their needs i.e. currently performed tasks and location at home.
  
• Presence / Movement  detection: Automatic adjustment of lighting/heating/cooling to the presence of people.
  
• Scheduling: Lets you efficiently adjust your level of comfort to your habits: hourly / daily / weekly schedule to reduce or shut down your lighting or heating system.
  
• Temperature regulation: Optimise your energy consumption at room level: room temperature is measured and adjusted locally.
  
• Twilight switch for outdoor lighting: Outdoor lighting switched on when ambient light level falls below a certain level and switched off once that level is reached again.
  
• Daylight harvesting: Lux sensor for optimised use of natural light and indoor lighting control to achieve minimum/constant lighting levels.
  
• Blind control: Efficient use of motorised blinds to optimise the availability of natural light.
