Application exampleEntrance: Safety first with central off • Situation • Wouldn’t it be nice for your customers to know that everything really is switched off when they leave the house? The light? The coffee machine? The iron and all typical stand-by devices? Offer them an easy to install and handle central off solution.

Application exampleEntrance: Safety first with central off • The Schneider Electric solution The CONNECT radio central unit installed in the hallway gives all the answers at the push of a button. When the “Central off” scene is activated, all radio receivers belonging to the scene switch off automatically. Any lights that have been left on anywhere in the house are switched off immediately. This includes the ceiling lamps. Thanks to the variation of CONNECT radio receivers, they can be quite easily integrated into the CONNECT radio system. In order to save energy and increase security, all loads attached via a CONNECT radio plug adapter are detached from the mains. For example the iron, the coffee machine or typical stand-by devices like the television and stereo.

Application exampleLiving room: Watching TV • Situation • Controlling the shutters via radio frequency with a remote control doesn‘t mean one more remote control cluttering the living room table. In fact, it means the opposite: the CONNECT remote control works with TV sets and DVD players as well!

Application exampleLiving room: Watching TV • The Schneider Electric solution The radio universal remote control not only replaces all the remote controls for the TV set and DVD player it also takes control of all CONNECT radio recievers implemented in the living room. With individual scenes stored on it, the perfect surrounding for watching TV is just a push of a button away. Only one remote control for all devices – no cluttered living room tables. To control the shutters via radio frequency with the remote control, there only needs to be one radio receiver installed at the shutter.

Application exampleNo worries on holiday: Timer functionality • Situation • Give your customers the good feeling that their house looks occupied while they are on holidays. With the possibility to time control recurring actions a simple yet effective presence simulation can be established with CONNECT radio system.

Application exampleNo worries on holiday: Timer functionality • The Schneider Electric solution For simulating presence when away from the house, different timers can be activated. One timer for one lamp in the bedroom and another timer for the blinds in the child‘s room. Every evening, the intelligent time switch function automatically switches on the light in the bedroom and lowers the blinds in the child’s room. After a while the lights are turned out again. In the morning the blinds in the child’s room open. In addition, the lighting automatically turns itself on and off via a timer function both inside and outside the house. The house thus looks occupied even in the absence of the inhabitants who can enjoy their holidays with an untroubled mind.

Make the most of your energy.
