Physical Security
A smart building should make everyday life simpler, not more complicated. We design automation that is easy to understand, keeps its basic functions running without the internet and doesn't open your network to attackers.
Overview
First we clarify with you what the building should do: which rooms, which functions and who will operate them. From this we develop a concept for lighting, shading, heating and security, for flats and houses as well as offices and small commercial buildings. For new builds and renovations we prefer KNX as an open, vendor-neutral standard, and for retrofits we also use wireless solutions.
Every connected device is a possible way into your network. That is why we place smart home devices in a separate network segment, change default passwords, keep software up to date and set up remote access over encrypted connections. Wherever possible, control and data stay local, so that you don't depend on a single cloud service.
After commissioning you receive documentation of the programming and a hands-on introduction. We adjust scenes and schedules when your habits change and extend the system step by step.
Scope of services
Dimmable lighting and scenes for evenings, film nights or time away, controlled by push-button, touch panel, app or voice command.
Blinds, roller shutters and awnings move according to schedule, sun position and weather. In strong wind, awnings retract automatically.
Room-by-room control of heating and cooling with schedules. Window contacts turn the heating down automatically while you air the room.
Video door intercom with the picture on your smartphone, presence simulation while you are on holiday and a link to the alarm system.
Electricity and heat consumption become visible, including in combination with a photovoltaic system. This shows you where savings are worthwhile.
A separate network segment for IoT devices, regular updates, encrypted remote access and local control instead of cloud dependency.
How we work
Every project follows four clear steps. You have one fixed contact person and always know what happens next.
We gather your requirements, visit the site and review your existing systems.
You receive a concept with plans, a component list and a transparent quote.
We install and configure carefully, document everything and keep to the agreed schedule.
We stay with you after handover, with maintenance, updates and monitoring.
We design systems so that the basic functions run locally. You can then operate lighting, shading and heating via switches and panels even without the internet. You only need an external connection for remote access and for individual services such as voice assistants.
KNX is a wired, open system and is particularly suitable for new builds and renovations. Wireless solutions are a good fit for retrofits when no new cables are to be laid. We often combine the two.
As secure as its setup. Many devices are shipped with default passwords and are rarely updated. We separate smart home devices from the rest of your network, secure remote access and keep the software up to date as part of our ongoing support.
Yes. With wireless components and actuators behind existing switches, a lot can be automated without major building work. We look at your electrical installation and network and suggest what makes sense.
Yes, we plan for that from the start. Open standards and complete documentation mean you can add rooms or functions later, even with a different contractor.
