Home control - get to know SALUS Smart Home

It is a modern home control system - primarily heating - that allows building connections and dependencies between the operation of home equipment (OneTouch rules) and remote operation of devices, also via the Internet.

What does the SALUS Smart Home system consist of?

The SALUS Smart Home system includes devices that allow you to control the temperature in each room - the so-called zone control. They enable the regulation of the operation of the boiler, central heating, hot water or other pumps heat sources. The offer also includes smart home accessories that support security and home economy.

In addition to voltage and battery temperature controllers , the system consists of:

How does SALUS Smart Home work?

The key element of the system is a universal gateway that ensures communication between devices in the ZigBee network. Up to 100 products can be paired with one gateway; thermostats, smart plugs, sensors, etc.

SmartHome

The free application - available for download in Google Play, App Store - allows you to control your home from anywhere in the world (provided you have access to the Internet). Importantly, the application allows you to manage several systems, which is useful in multi-family houses, larger rental properties and hotels.

SALUS Smart Home includes security detectors necessary in a smart home: in the event of a threat or an unauthorized event (washing machine leak, smoke, unauthorized opening of a window), the system sends the user a message (SMS or e-mail) with a previously saved alert.

What is OneTouch?

A OneTouch rule is a scenario of dependencies between the operation of two or more selected devices, programmed by the user. The rule is activated in one move (in the application or by pressing a button available in the offer).

What can we control in the SALUS Smart Home system?

The temperature in the rooms

  • the temperature matches the function of the rooms (different for bathroom, bedroom, living room, etc.)
  • heating operation patterns for individual days of the week
  • adjust heating settings on the fly, from anywhere

Light

  • automatic turning on and off of the light at given times or as a result of movement
  • any rules using light, e.g. turning off all the lamps in the house after pressing the rule activator or turning on the light after closing the blinds, etc.

Gates, roller shutters

  • planning the operation of roller blinds taking into account daily time (sunrise and sunset)
  • gradual lifting or closing of the blinds (e.g. first 35%, then 55%, finally 100%)

SALUS Smart Home: sample rules for saving and securing a smart home

Warm homecoming

Do you go out at different times every day? Create a rule in which you can switch the regulators to low heating energy consumption mode by pressing a button. Install an activator next to the door to trigger the rule. Before returning from work, you can turn it off online - in the application. When you return home, you will be greeted by pleasant temperatures. At the same time, you can save a rule that will illuminate the house when you return. When you turn off the alarm at the entrance, the lights in the hall will turn on. You will use smart relays and smart plugs for this scenario.

Airing without heat loss

Do you forget to turn off the heating while airing? If so, set a rule that will do it for you. When you open the window even slightly, the installation will stop heating the room. A window opening sensor working with the controller will help in this solution.

Light and blinds

Our OneTouch rules will relieve you of the burden of performing repetitive, routine activities. A good example of this would be linking the operation of the blinds with lamps that will turn on as soon as the blinds fall. When the windows darken, the room will light up.

Deterring thieves

If you are planning a trip, create a rule that turns selected lights on and off throughout the house. At the hours you specify, the lamps in the rooms will darken, brighten, turn on, turn off - pretending that the building is not empty. For a more convincing effect, add closing the blinds at dusk and opening them in the morning. You will run the rule in the application.

Energy-saving use of water and electricity

  • The fan will only turn on when you enter the toilet.
  • The circulation pump in the bathroom will only be active for a few minutes after you enter it - when you need hot water.
  • The light will turn on when you are in the toilet and turn off immediately after you leave.

Construction protection

SALUS Smart Home ensures safety at every stage of house construction - also during construction. What will it do if you create well-thought-out security rules?

  • It will turn on the halogen lights if someone unauthorized appears on your property.
  • It will turn on the siren when someone breaks the door.
  • It will send you an SMS notifying you about all this.
