Comfort

The control is very easy and totally intuitive

There are variations of outer and ergonomic design of the control for all members of the family

Whenever you open the window, inHome system turns down the heating

It dims the light on the way to the bathroomif you get up at night

It signalizes new post in your mailbox

Before going to work it turns on the washing machine 

Automatic alarm clock quietly switches on music,slowly opens the blinds and turns on the coffee maker with your favourite coffee

Before your arrival it heats the sauna

Entertainment

Your family pictures, records from holidays, your

favourite music, films in the highest HD quality,

surround sound, the Internet, computer games,

e-mails, reception of radio, television, digital and

satellite broadcasting are all available from any room

of the house or garden.

The chosen programmes (e.g. series) are automatically

recorded and what’s more, commercial free.

Thanks to the multifunctional buttons you can at the

same time start playing your favourite movie,

simultaneously the lighting in the room dims, and

possibly the blinds roll down, the projector and

projection screen eject from the lower ceiling and your

amplifier sets to the required loudness.

Safety

At any time you have a perfect overview of the safe operation of your household – the alarm system, fire

detectors, camera system and infra-red bolts.

The infra-red bolts will allow you to prevent your children

from passing the dangerous distance from swimming pool.

In case of any nonstandard event you are informed via SMS (decreasing of the temperature in the fish tank, power cut or fallout in heating system etc.).

After the last member of the family leaves the house,

the alarm systemautomatically activates, the lights go off, the required sockets are deactivated, the blinds pull down and the air-condition / heating switch to the low

mode.

The system also allows the option of random lighting the

rooms and by so doing simulate your presence in your absence (holiday…).

Savings – Lighting

At any time inHome enables you set or change the setting of which switch will turn which specific light.

One switch can control a whole group of lights as well and therefore create lighting scenes of a various lights intensity.

Thanks to the LED units the coloured tones of the lighting can be changed as well.

The switches can be also wireless – which means considerable costs savings during installation, however, it is possible to add them, or alternatively, to place them onto the glass.

The central system also enables you to have a constant overview (even when you are not at home) of which room is lighted.

If you are absent from the room for a longer while, the system automatically turns off.

The outside intensity of light fluently regulates the intensity of the interior lights.

Savings – Heating

inHome very effectively operates and monitors the energy consumption.

The control system is capable of effective combining of various heat sources:

Heat pump / electrical boiler / gas boiler

Solar cells

Air-condition

Recuperation

Fire places

In case of rain it automatically closes the roof windows, in case of wind it draws back the terrace blinds.

Thanks to this regulation a considerable amount of energy is saved.

Ecology

The integration of alternative sources and their optimal and effective operation in connection to the low-energetic or passive buildings makes the inHome system very environmentally friendly.

CITIB – Infrastructure

The bone of the infrastructure is structured cabling:

standardized, 6A cable category, RJ45 socket

Computer network bandwidth up to 0,5GHz and 10 Gbit/s

10 Mb permanent Internet connection

Video – 75ohm coax and HDMI

Audio – bi-wire speaker cable

Homes interconnection – optic fiber (40 Gbit/s)

Perfect grounding and galvanic isolation

Surge Protection

Data and power cables shielding

Near future…

Today or in the near future would be possible:

Shielding by smart glass which changes color according the intensity of the electricity

According to the foodstuff reserve automatically order missing items

Those items are delivered into special box, which is accessible from outside street and fully cooled down

Automatic barman – mix automatically drink according your order

Electronic evidence of your wine archive

Chair vibration in order to intensify your game of movie enjoyment

Suitable clothes selection according your electronic diary

LED displays instead of classical wall pictures
