parameters. A great example of this is an intelligent individual room solution, in which a sensor detects the current room temperature as well as the presence of people. As a result, the solar-operated sensor identifies the times at which a room is used over the long term and automatically generates an individual usage profile. The sensor sends this information wirelessly to an energy-autonomous, thermostatic radiator valve, which regulates the room temperature according to demand.
Intelligence makes for real added value
Advanced systems use special algorithms in the central controller. These algorithms process the data of the sensors distributed throughout the home as well as information available elsewhere, such as online weather data, in order to adapt the entire automation system to the individual habits of the people living in the home as well as changing external factors. Linking the different parameters and disciplines gives the users significant added value. They benefit from substantial energy

savings and comfort functions that adapt to their individual needs without the users having to surrender control.
Data protection
Cloud platforms now exist that integrate the different applications for controlling lighting, heating or blinds, together with energy harvesting wireless sensors, actuators and mobile devices. In this case as well, the system processes all data
in real time, takes the building properties into account and processes complex automation scenarios in the cloud background, depending on the situation. Even with all this intelligence, data must still be protected. To keep the personal information secure, control centres transmit the data in encrypted form. Users can also determine at any time whether and which data they want
to store in the cloud and which data should be stored locally in the home’s control centre.
Free choice for real smart homes These
manufacturer- independent systems give the user a free choice of products, and the central controller converts the complexity of the different technologies into easy and intuitive operation. Thanks to
energy harvesting wireless technology, the sensors are maintenance-free, easy to install, can be relocated at any time and be upgraded at a later date. The result is a true smart home that seamlessly integrates comfort, energy savings and security into everyday life without requiring the user to deal with technology.
