Intelligent buildings realization

The interesting stuff from intelligent buildings realization.

Maximum for the quality

We created a control system of the intelligent buildings and here are some images of the system implementation for the clients.

To be right there and personally participate with the implementation was a huge and undistorted feedback about how we prepared the system for the existing practice.

I believe in using of your own products in every phase of its life for it is the best way how to improve it.

What is a smart home?

What is a smart home?

Let's imagine that you have stucked at work and the announced visitors have already arrived for the evening celebration. Your smart home will notice you about that. It recognize if that is a friend or stranger. If a friend the smart home lets him in the visitor zone, let's say a living room, and welcomes him at home. It offers a music, movie or vacation photographs for a shortening the time.

What is a smart home?

When you're hurry into the work it might happen that you forget to close the window, turn off the light or turn down the heating. It is no disaster anymore with the smart home. The smart home knows when it's raining or when it's cold. It knows that you are not in the room already and that it should turn off the lights. It knows when to stoke, cool or ventilate.

The smart house knows when and how to water your plants. You can build a whole botanic garden with an aquarium in your greenhouse or garden and then leave for a month on the vacation.

You can feel secure with the smart home. The security features can be set so it is insuperable for the burglars. It is so 'cause of the usage of the 'secure cloud networks'.

Everything begins with the cables

Everything begins with the cables

The realization begins with the pulling the cables. The bigger the house and richer equipment the more cables.

You can see the data network cables here.

Then the power cables

... otherwise electricity

Then the power cables
Many cables on the ceiling

Many cables on the ceiling

The cables are more secured here against the heavy technics of the workers.

The white ones are for TV. There are a lot of TVs.

Many cables on the ceiling

The massacre

You can see here to what the cables were put through during the construction.

It would be very painful to find out that the cables were damaged after stretching the plaster or after marble floor covering. Therefore we protect the cables diversely.

The massacre
The cables lead to the switchboard

The cables lead to the switchboard

Do you know the ropes?

Yes you do, don't be afraid. You can notice the blue, yellow or white labels at the end of the cables. Everything is marked.

The cables lead to the switchboard

The switchboard can also look like this. And there could be many of those mutually connected at one house.

When the switchboard is closed and covered it looks quite simply and nice, doesn't it?

Switchboard of the heating

There could be a many types of switchboards. This is a heating switchboard. Its size depends on the amount of the individually controllable circuits.

I like that my colleagues also cared about stuff that aren't commonly visible and that they made them nicely.

A room for technics

A room for technics

You can see here a sophisticated design of the utility room of the house. The connections are built for washing machines, dryers, built-in vacuum cleaner and other technical tweaks.

A room for technics

It's not that already, however...

It is not possible to live there yet. But we have come a long way since the carnage that was here.

Plaster and floor are casted, cables are forever hidden and expeditious drying begins - those wide pipes...

It's not that already, however...

Meanwhile we prepare the smart components for assembly.

Sensor housing

This smart box checks all of the conceivable variables from the temperature, pressure and humidity through to the noise.

For what, you ask? For safety, as an example. The effects of various factors can be detected by sound.

A really smart switch

A really smart switch

This switch can have configurable number of buttons... from one to 10. Each can be programmed to another function.
Functions could be changed within the time.
It is also possible to detect different, for normal switches unusual events such as double click, long / short hold, hold 3 buttons and much much more.

A really smart switch

Different switches

There exist various switches that could be arbitrarily combined.

The design variations are matter of course.

At the beginning...

At the beginning...

Believe me or not but when we started the development this was our first smart home - a paper model.

It contained furniture and was shining :)

(Dear Víťa, thank You for Your precision and diligence.)

At the beginning...

... and then we built this

However!
By this the road has just begun......

... and then we built this
