Smart home Mallorca, how smart living works: a sense of convenience
With computers and cell phones, most users have long relied on state-of-the-art technology that simplifies and facilitates processes. The home, on the other hand, seems to be an analog fortress. The trend has long been towards smart.
There were times when the heavy window shutters were closed from the outside at night, the door was secured twice with an oversized key and the candle in the room was extinguished. Admittedly, that was a long time ago. In the meantime, modern roller shutters, reliable security locks and dimmable electric lighting have found their way into the four walls. However, technical development has not stood still. Real comfort is when you can control digitally.
Advice from the expert
Smart living is still a closed book for many homeowners. Controllable devices seem complicated and give the impression that you could lose accessibility. The smart home as an unapproachable self-sufficiency? Far from it!
Smart living means convenience above all else. "Anyone who doesn't build smart today is building an old building," says Andreas Franz, master electrician and managing director of AJH-Elektro S.L. in Felanitx. He should know, as the company from Velbert in North Rhine-Westphalia has been a specialist in smart home furnishings and equipment for many years. The path to digitalized living pleasure should always be taken by an expert, recommends Franz.
What does smart living mean?
A "smart building" naturally does not think for itself. Various areas of building technology are simply automated and programmed. This programming can be changed and adapted by the owner at any time. With the SmartHome, nothing is left out of the hands, but rather simplified. This makes living more convenient, safer and, last but not least, more sustainable.
AJH-Elektro relies on the globally recognized building automation standard KNX. The advantage: devices from different manufacturers that are certified according to the KNX standard can be networked with each other. KNX works by means of a bus system. Isolated devices are thus networked with each other and communicate in the form of a standardized "language". It almost no longer matters which device you want to network.
Simply illuminate
The choice for smart living is particularly diverse here. For example, you can control the light both indoors and outdoors depending on the time and temperature. In living and working areas, the incidence of light can be controlled depending on the time of day. This also includes switching pre-programmed light scenes simply by pressing a button or even by voice command.
Control from the road
Rooms can be automatically illuminated via smart systems as soon as you enter them. Switching off is of course included. Uncertainty as to whether you have switched off the light when you leave the house is a thing of the past. You can even check the status of your home when you are out and about and make any necessary adjustments.
Plus in sustainability
In the age of energy saving and sustainability, heating can also be controlled smartly. As soon as a window is opened or tilted down, the system turns down the heating or adjusts the room temperature. Awnings and blinds can also be controlled smartly and conveniently, depending on the sun and wind.
More security
Sophisticated solutions are also available for security: if the smartphone leaves the internal Wi-Fi range, the alarm system is automatically activated.
SmartHome is not limited to indoor areas, by the way. Watering lawns and plants by hand and using a watering can is no longer necessary. Garden irrigation can be controlled automatically, simply by pressing a button, and depending on the time of day and weather conditions.
Smart into the future
KNX is a future-proof technology that offers endless flexibility in application and personalization. Installation is simple and can be adapted to practically any individual desire for automation via smart and, if desired, expanded at any time.
With the right advice from a specialist and the future-oriented KNX system, nothing stands in the way of your SmartHome. The team at AJH-Elektro in Felanitx will be happy to answer your questions about modern and reliable home technology and the associated options.
