Presence detection

Save energy conveniently, and enhance your comfort levels
When you are not at home, many appliances will still continue consuming power. Audio systems and televisions consume power even in stand-by mode, and radiators warm rooms unnecessarily. Avoid this and save lots of energy with a demand-based presence detection system. You won't have to lift a finger, because the technology autonomously detects when power, heating or lighting is required.
eNet wall-mounted transmitters alert appliances when you are at home
With modern smart home solutions such as the eNet wall-mounted transmitter, every appliance will save energy at the touch of a button. The presence detector sends the relevant information to all the appliances connected to the server. Lights are turned off, sockets power down, and smart thermostats reduce room temperatures. And so you consume less power and heat.
KNX push-buttons activate lights, appliances and heating
Just one press of the KNX presence detection push-button, and your lights, radiators, even your kitchen appliances will operate according to a pre-configured program. It's made possible by a Smart Visu Server function that encompasses all devices to achieve a high level of efficiency and flexibility.
Motion detectors select lighting with the appropriate level of brightness
Motion detectors installed at switch-height means you have light whenever you need it. Additional functions ensure even more energy efficiency and security, e.g. the switches dim the lighting at night, automatically adjust the shut-off delay to your presence times, thereby reducing your power consumption. Other available functions include an alarm setting and a presence simulation function. You can conveniently configure the main functions via the smartphone app and Bluetooth interface.
Smart presence detectors activate a number of lights in the house
Classic presence detectors are wire-connected, and are designed for activating/deactivating individual appliances. Modern smart home solutions are different. Simply retrofit battery-powered products such as the eNet ceiling detector. Use this technology to effortlessly switch multiple lights on and off. For example, by connecting lights to radio receivers, all the lights in the entrance area, hall and stairwell will switch on as you move around your house. You gain greater convenience and no power is wasted from unnecessary lighting.
Presence detectors ensure enough light is provided whenever needed
Presence detectors switch lights on and off as needed, helping you to saving energy. Because a presence detection system stops you from unnecessarily lighting rooms, halls and stairways, and you don't forget to turn the light off again afterwards. Settings such as shut-off delay, sensitivity, and automatic programmes such as presence simulation can be configured to your own individual requirements.
KNX presence detectors combine convenience with efficiency
Presence detectors allow you to make every better use of the possibilities available from a KNX home automated setup. With a room-by-room installation, they ensure your home is always at the right temperature. They turn on lights and sockets when you need them, while fully automatically ensuring lighting conditions remain stable. Sensors dim the lighting automatically, so that the brightness doesn't change throughout the day. This means you can enjoy the utmost levels of efficiency in home and functional building settings.

Off-grid consumption

Gain greater independence and save on costs
By personally utilising the power generated by your photovoltaic system, you can achieve a high level of independence, save money, while also protecting the environment. This is because you are harnessing renewable energy, which emits less CO2. It's all easily achieved with an intelligent domestic control system, which detects excess available power, and automatically activates the appliances in your home.
Heat domestic water with photovoltaic system and heating rod
You want to use the power from your photovoltaic system yourself where possible, instead of feeding it to the grid? You can achieve particular high levels of personal consumption by using a battery storage system. If the accumulator is full, and the sun continues to deliver free energy, an intelligent home control system can transfer surplus power to a hot water storage system. The JUNG Visu Pro Server SENEC Edition can perform this task. Alongside the solar yield and current electrical load, it also monitors the accumulator's charging level. If there is a surplus of energy available, it will directly transfer this to the electrical heating cartridges in the hot water storage system. If you also store energy in the SENEC.CLOUD, you can also utilise your unused energy in the winter.
Boost your off-grid consumption with an air conditioning control
An intelligent home control system can operate numerous electrical loads if there is a surplus of available power. One example is air conditioning systems. These appliances function like refrigerators, and utilise electrical energy to transfer heat out of your home. If the battery storage is fully charged, the JUNG Visu Pro Server SENEC Edition will reduce the room temperature on summer days. The air conditioning system uses free energy and boosts your off-grid consumption. During winter the room temperatures are automatically increased, in order to use solar power to heat your home. This is possible by combining the JUNG Visu Pro Server SENEC Edition with a KNX room thermostat.
Warm your home with SG-Ready heat pumps and solar power
Combine an SG-Ready heat pump with a photovoltaic system and an intelligent domestic control system, and create your own largely self-sufficient power and heat supply. A heat pump harnesses free ambient heat energy for domestic heating and hot water supply. It increases your degree of self-sufficiency and allows you to reduce your heating costs. The heat pump is powered by electricity. The JUNG Visu Pro Server SENEC Edition connects your solar power via a KNX switch actuator whenever there is available surplus solar power. Does your heat pump have a cooling mode? If so, this means you can operate it in the summer with your environmentally-friendly accumulated solar power, and make even greater savings.
Utilise energy for your electric car
With a roof-mounted photovoltaic system, you can also use your domestically produced power for your mobility purposes. So, you can be on the road without creating emissions and save a lot of money at the same time. And if you mainly use surplus solar power, you will also be increasing your off-grid consumption. It's all made possible by the JUNG Visu Pro Server SENEC Edition. This intelligent home control system automatically activates your electric car's charging station wherever sufficient energy becomes available. If you also save power in the SENEC.Cloud, you can even use this at one of the roughly 60,000 charging stations throughout Europe.

Ventilation control

Effectively venting automatically, while saving energy
Ventilation systems supply fresh air to your living space. They remove pollutants and help to control the humidity within the home. With an automatic ventilation system, central and decentralised systems work according to need. They provide an optimal air exchange, never consume more energy than is needed, and save a great deal of money, too. You don't have to do anything else, while benefiting from a perfect protection against mould and enhanced levels of living comfort.
Use a vent control unit to ventilate your living spaces
An automatic ventilation control unit is a convenient and energy-efficient way to channel fresh air into your living spaces. The ventilation control responds to the CO2 content in the indoor air. This ensures your air quality is consistently good, and you never use more energy than necessary. By means of a KNX switch actuator you can integrate your ventilation control unit with any ventilation appliance here. As an alternative to a CO2 sensor, you can use a speed regulator to manually adjust the ventilation performance and consumption precisely to your personal requirements. 

Shutter control

Increase your home comfort, and reduce costs
Shutters and blinds fulfil a wide range of tasks. They shield against prying eyes, provide shade, and help reduce the loss of energy. But manually operating them is a laborious process, and also only possible from home. A shutter control means you can automatically open and close exterior shutters and blinds at particular times or depending on weather conditions. You save time, enjoy greater convenience, while also benefiting from lower energy costs.
Control individual shutters on a time-sensitive basis
By lowering your shutters in the evening, you are not just blocking out prying eyes. You are also increasing your thermal insulation, which saves a great deal of energy. A time-sensitive control system ensures comfort in your home. It is done by simply combining electric exterior shutters, blinds or awnings with an intelligent switch. The switch is programmed exactly how you want it via Bluetooth over your smartphone, or it can be set, for example, to raise the shutters at sunrise and lower them at sunset.
Provide shade to your living space, automatically and effortlessly
During summer, the sun shining unobstructed through windows causes buildings to heat up considerably. Although air-conditioning systems are able to lower temperatures, this consumes a great deal of power. A more cost-effective and efficient solution is to have an automatic rolling shutter control unit. If you enhance it with a brightness sensor, this technology will automatically provide your home with shade. When the sun sets, shutters, blinds and awnings are automatically raised. If you want to further extend the functional scope of your shutter control, connect the Bluetooth timer effortlessly and wirelessly with a battery-powered brightness sensor.
Use a shutter control system to operate multiple windows
If you have a large number of windows, it is advisable to use a central shutter control system. This means you have to set the opening and closing times just once, saving you a great deal of time. For every group of shutters you want to operate simultaneously, you install an additional switch with an operating unit. If you also combine the group switch with a brightness sensor, all the connected elements will open or close, depending on the levels of brightness. In addition, a JUNG weather station enables you to centrally operate the smart-controlled shutters located on different sides of the building. You need less technology, while saving a considerable amount of money.
Control the shutters in your smart home, individually
The eNet SMART HOME means you can enjoy the benefits of an automatic shutter control system with an extensive range of functions. Program your shutter control system effortlessly and centrally via your smartphone, tablet or PC. Remotely monitor the current status or configure automatic time sequences to simulate your presence at home. It's all possible with an eNet server that communicates with the radio control buttons of your exterior shutters or blinds. A brightness sensor also means you benefit from intelligent light and shade control system. The sensors are fitted on the inside of a window on each facade of the building, before you create a fully encrypted radio link to the eNet server.

Single-room control

Select temperatures individually, and save energy
Rooms used at different times, heat increase caused by large number of guests or high losses of energy due to window ventilation – all of these are reasons why heating systems consume more energy than is necessary. A single-room control can assist here. You limit the individual room temperatures, while saving on heating costs. If you select the optimum temperatures depending on the time, the rooms are already comfortably warm at the time of use. You use no more energy than is necessary, while achieving higher levels of living comfort.
Setting the time programme on the room thermostat
Our room thermostats offer the easiest option for single-room control. Use the modern controller's digital display to program heating times and target temperatures, allowing it to automatically control electric underfloor heating systems or water-bearing heating systems. These controllers limit heat output during non-use periods, while ensuring the optimum room temperature is achieved by the planned time of day. If you open the windows to ventilate the space, these controllers will detect that. They temporarily turn off the heating, so saving even more energy.
Automatically switch between heating and cooling
Heating or cooling? With thermal pumps capable of doing both, with a single-room control they ensure optimum room temperatures all year round. During winter, heating appliances supply heat to achieve the temperature set on the room thermostat. When outside temperatures begin to rise, the process reverses. Thermal pumps are centrally switched into cooling mode and transfer heat outside. They limit the individual room temperatures, automatically creating a comfortable home climate.
Centralised, remote operation of single-room control system
Modern smart home systems enable the temperature of various rooms to be programmed all via just one app. They control panel heaters and radiators exactly how you want it. And you can also benefit from their intelligent functions. For example, the heating will automatically switch to economy mode when you're not at home. You'll simply save energy without having to do anything else.
Use smart home controls without visible technology
Room thermostat in every room – not suitable for every furnishing. With our innovative KNX systems, you can enjoy single-room control without visible technology. This requires unobtrusive temperature sensor switches in each room. A central actuator then allows you to integrate the technology effortlessly into the existing KNX system. Setting temperatures or programming schedules? It's easily done via central control units in your smart home.
Operating KNX single-room control
Digital switches and displays also give full room-specific control. Modify temperatures, lighting scenarios or the positioning of rolling shutters – all very simple via a control-unit installed in the room. From here you also have the option of changing all the settings via the central control panels of your KNX system. Equip your living spaces with temperature sensor presence detectors, optimise the single-room control, thereby saving even more energy so simply.

Smart home heating

Control your heating system to save energy
Are the outside temperatures on the rise, or are your windows open to ventilate your home? In both cases, you can reduce the heating output. You can reduce your energy consumption, save on heating costs and help preserve the climate. It's so easy with a smart home heating system, because this automatically adjusts to the best setting.
Reduce your heating costs with some simple tips
The right tips allow you to make energy consumption reductions you can really feel. For example, if you switch off radiators while venting rooms you will lose less heat. Lower room temperatures allow you to economise while you sleep, and sunlight is a cost-effective way of warming your home. A smart heating control system means you don't have to lift a finger. It detects when your windows are open, sets the thermostat to align with the weather forecast, and ensures comfortable room temperatures when that's what you need.
Effortlessly retrofit smart thermostats
Smart thermostats mean you can enjoy the benefits of smart home heating. All you have to do is simply replace your old radiator thermostats with electronics devices from tado°. These use an Internet connection to communicate with your JUNG eNet SMART HOME server, to begin continuously controlling the thermal output. An app informs the server whether or not you're at home. It reduces room temperatures when you leave your home, increasing the heat again in good time before you return again. And not only that: the smart heating control also detects when windows are opened. It automatically responds to current weather reports, and can also be controlled remotely via the eNet SMART HOME app. You can easily retrofit these wireless technology to existing houses and apartments without any conversion works.
Combine heating and shutter controls
With a KNX system in your home, you can enjoy comfortable temperatures around the clock. These systems control heating panels according to the outside temperature, and switch to economy mode when individual rooms are warmed up due to sunlight or visitors. If you integrate the shutter control into your smart home alongside your heating control, it will react optimally to the weather conditions. It provides enhanced thermal insulation during colder nights, provides shade or admits sunlight whenever rooms require additional natural heating. Our innovative switches detect the room temperatures and enable the set-point to be changed manually. They also communicate with the heating and shutter actuator. A weather station detects current weather data, allowing your smart home heating to be operating economically.

Smart metering

Record your energy consumption and save on costs
Do you know how much energy you need? Or to put it more precisely, how much energy is consumed by your multimedia devices, fridge or washing machine? Are your figures average or are they considerably higher than that? A cutting-edge smart-metering solution makes answering all these questions seem like child's play. They accurately estimate your consumption data, and identify your biggest potential savings. After the modernisation job or the replacement of individual devices, the results will become immediately apparent. This will motivate you, and help in saving even more energy.
Smart Metering for large volume consumers and entire building sections
If it is a matter of recording the consumption values of entire rooms, flats or building sections, the central JUNG radio energy detector REG is available to you. This is installed in the main or sub-distribution box of your domestic system from where it sends regular fully encrypted messages to the eNet server. This solution negates the need to install a number of single sensors and it also enables smart metering for high-output consumer appliances.
Centralised recording of consumption data for multiple appliances
A KNX C-load switch actuator installed in the power distributor allows you to individually read the consumption figures for various appliances. This devices measures the load current via four or eight channels, and relays these values to the in-house KNX system. The figures are processed by a Smart Visu Server, which uses an app to present the values for each end appliance via a display or browser application. If you install a high-performance Visu Pro Server, it will record the smart-metering data. It generates readily intelligible graphics and you can track your consumption data anywhere, anytime.
