In winter, the exterior sun screens are open during the day to let the warmth of the sun heat the house, and close as soon as night falls. Heating control is zoned with timings for day and night. The energy factor of the home falls at once, with no effort on your part, giving immediate savings. Scalable, money-saving installation You can equip your home gradually, with products incorporating io-homecontrol depending on your requirements to modify, combine, complete or improve your installation, in a new-build or renovated property. By combining several products you can dramatically improve the energy efficiency of your home, and monitor its energy consumption, as specified in RT 2012. As soon as the sun strikes the facade and roof of the house in summer, the sun screens and roller shutters on the exposed surfaces close automatically to keep the house cool inside. In the evening, roof windows and shutters open to the cool night air, naturally ventilating the house. Monitoring consumption You have a real time display of your home s energy consumption, from each appliance, you can monitor the various sensors, provide weekly or annual consumption figures. You can also display each one of the home s energy consuming devices, on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis, so you can see for yourself how to make savings.
Reliable and highly-secure technology for a more secure home A communicating installation io-homecontrol combines both dynamic protection resources (roller shutters closing sequences, locking doors) and static warning methods (alarm, sensors). They are all controlled and coordinated automatically, in the home or remotely. So every order given is systematically checked, and you receive an instant confirmation on your remote control screen with a visual or audible signal (feedback). This means you can monitor the status of your equipment, and be sure that your installation can detect any obstacle and alert you at any time. peace of mind Connected security Close up your house with just one movement: the alarm is set at once, the entrance door locked, windows closed, lights off, garage door and gate shut. If you are away for a weekend or a longer holiday, you can initiate a presence simulation scenario. Roller shutters rise and lower automatically, lights turn on and off at particular, preset times of day, etc. Off you go, with an easy mind. Highly-secure technology io-homecontrol guarantees optimum security for your installation. A 128-bit symmetrical encryption key authenticates the source of every order sent from a remote control. Secure access is provided by a customized id and password, for remote control over the internet from a computer, smartphone or tablet. Compliant, proven technology io-homecontrol is compliant with European standard EN 300-220 that governs low-power radio communications in the 868 MHz to 870 MHz frequency range. io-homecontrol also guarantees compliance with requirements and regulations specific to the construction and housing sectors. No risk of interference The module scans the radio channel before sending data. If the channel is busy, it selects the closest available frequency at once.
