IOT systems can now control power, security and HVAC in offices and homes. Today’s building automation professionals must consider the growing need for full and seamless integration, which incorporates a variety of different components and elements. These specialist system controls can include power distribution; HVAC; door entry; presence detectors; security and audio/video. Schneider Electric offers technology combined with aesthetics to upgrade homes and offices to EcoStruxure building operation or KNX, where tasks are automated, allowing occupants to benefit from technology and save on power bills. Remote-controlled dimmers and shutters put the perfect ambiance within reach at all times. Presence detectors provide another kind of convenience. By automatically lighting a room when you enter, they eliminate any fumbling for a switch in the dark. Presence detectors save energy too, by turning the lights off automatically after you leave. Schneider Electric also offers Wiser, a full home control solution, integrating heating and lighting management into a single, user-friendly solution.
