Central building control in the Smart Home with WS1000 Connect

Get to know WS1000 Connect, the building control system from Elsner Elektronik! This consists of a touch display mounted on the wall, which automatically regulates all functions and at the same time is the control centre for building technology.

WS1000 Connect takes over the classic functions of building control: room climate control via sun shading, ventilation, heating and the protection of technology and equipment against wind and rain. Energy-saving options are taken into account at all times.

With modern additional functions, however, WS1000 Connect provides more comfort and safety. Light can be controlled on a time-related basis as required. In so-called scenes, the user can save combinations of driving positions and switching states and then recall them with just a touch of a finger. For example, closed roller shutters and dimmed light for the "TV evening" or closed east blinds and switched-on ambient lighting in the kitchen for "breakfast".

Signals from motion and smoke detectors trigger defined security scenarios. "Burglar protection", for example, involves closing windows and switching on luminaires. In the event of a "fire alarm", windows and shades are opened so that smoke can escape and escape routes are clear.

The topic of access and data security is an important issue in home automation. Concerning the WS1000 Connect, the basic rule is: control data remain in the house! Setting and operating data are only stored in the device. The WS1000 is therefore "cloud-free". Anyone who wants to save their control data uses a micro SD card. Updates can also be downloaded to the controller in this way without an internet connection.

The network and internet connection of the WS1000 Connect is a "can", not a "must", as all building control functions run "offline".

Only if you want to use the WS1000 Connect App must integrate the controller into their WLAN.

The climate and protection functions for the "Smart Home" run reliably in the background: solar heat is let in until the desired room temperature is reached, then blinds, shutters and awnings close.

Depending on the position of the sun, the incidence of light is controlled by closing shades and turning blinds. This means thermal protection on the sunny side and as much view as possible at the same time. Visual protection functions are set individually, as are time functions. This not only involves closing roller shutters in the evening, but also avoiding motor noises at night, e.g. by keeping windows open or closed at bedtime as required.

The signal for ventilating as well as for switching on the heating is otherwise given by the values of the interior sensor. Automatic ventilation improves air quality and regulates room temperature and humidity. The control system prevents heating and ventilation at the same time. The perfect round-the-clock interaction of all functions optimises the building's energy consumption.

The WS1000 Connect control includes sensors for weather and interior data. Motors and devices are connected by the electrician to the power section of the control, which is located in the flush-mounted box behind the display. In addition, 32 different components from the remote control to motor control units can be integrated by radio.

Radio technology in particular offers scope for individual and spontaneous ideas. Fountain switching, garden lighting or other special wishes can be easily implemented - now or later. An awning ist to be retrofitted because the terrace is being enlarged? Simply plug an additional radio module between the motor and the power supply. The module is taught-in and is then available in the WS1000 Connect control.

Thus, the WS1000 Connect remains ready for additions, adjustments and new plans at any time.
