HIGHLIGHTS – EnOcean Alliance at ISH 2019: Bringing IoT into the building

/ Press Releases

Anyone who wishes to learn about the latest developments in water and energy management in buildings will attend the ISH trade show in Frankfurt between March 11 and 15. The EnOcean Alliance will also be there, of course. Together with its partners, it will demonstrate maintenance-free wireless sensor solutions for building digitalization and smart homes based on the international EnOcean wireless standard (ISO/IEC 14543-3-10).

Our exhibit this year focuses on three main topics:

Big data in corporate real estate management: On the IoT Solutions Panel, experts from Microsoft, T-Systems, Piepenbrock, Thing-it and IBM will report on how EnOcean-based solutions can be implemented in corporate real estate management along with the benefits that building operators derive from this, based on practical examples.

Amendment to the European building directive (EPBD): All buildings within the EU are supposed to be CO2-neutral by 2050, with interim goals set for 2030 and 2040. The member states have to adopt the necessary legal and administrative regulations as early as March of next year. The EnOcean Alliance experts explain what these requirements mean in the context of building automation and how future-oriented system solutions based on the EnOcean wireless standard can be implemented.

Not least, ISH visitors to the EnOcean Alliance joint booth can learn about the latest trends in the smart home as well as in lighting and window control.

In all, more than 30 companies will show EnOcean-based solutions at ISH 2019. The following companies will be exhibiting at the joint booth of the EnOcean Alliance (10.3 C60).

AFRISO Smart Home System

AFRISO smart home sensors provide more security, living comfort and a pleasant room climate in buildings. AFRISO Smart Home offers an extensive portfolio of sensors and actuators in this area. The new AIS 10 PRO indoor siren rounds out the system when it comes to preventing break-ins and provides effective all-around protection. The free AFRISOhome app is the centerpiece of the solution for mobile devices (iOS/Android) and is also available as a Web app for PCs. The solution enables customers to design their smart homes intuitively and make them user-friendly: display sensor event history data, switch actuators, create timed “if/then” logic operations (e.g. also for multiple sensors) and automatic workflows based on measured values or logic states, group sensors according to room or building, manage access rights and much more. All components are networked via the multi-protocol-capable AFRISOhome Gateway HG 01.

BECKER-Antriebe – self-powered control of roller and venetian blinds

BECKER-Antriebe, which specializes in drives and controllers for blinds, sunshades and gates, is the first supplier to incorporate the future-oriented, self-powered EnOcean technology directly into a tubular drive and thereby make it even easier to use. The wireless actuators built into the drive itself can be used to transmit absolute values and thus provide precise position values, which makes exact drive control possible. The new solution is also seamlessly integrated into the principle of interdisciplinary interoperability, and it supports both remote management and remote commissioning. Due to the bidirectional feedback of position and status, the drive can also be effortlessly integrated into the central home automation system. In addition, the Becker tubular drive provides sensitive obstacle detection, freeze prevention, smart installation management and many more functions. Combined with other EnOcean products, it thus offers, for example, ventilation and various alarm functions without an additional, superordinate control panel.

Micropelt iTRV MVA 005 – Comfortable and maintenance-free radiator valve control

Micropelt, a brand of EH4 GmbH, will present the latest generation of self-powered EnOcean wireless radiator valves to control heating units and building automation. A newly developed EnOcean protocol will allow the MVA005 valve to also locally change the setpoint temperature in the future right on the valve. With its internal temperature controller and two temperature sensors, the valve can be operated in self-regulating mode with or without an additional room temperature sensor. The wireless and control interval in heating mode can be increased either with each wireless telegram or in automatic mode via the increasing inlet temperature. The continuously measured inlet temperature, among other things, is available as additional information. In addition, remote management functions allow different valve parameters to be modified during operation.

PMDM – Smart thermostat controllers

Smart thermostat controllers make it possible to save energy costs over the long term without much effort. Smart heating plays a key role in smart home technologies, some of which are still quite new. The developer Precision Motors Deutsche Minebea GmbH (PMDM) has created a self-powered and innovative radiator valve that makes changing batteries and laying cables things of the past. The valve itself produces the electrical energy it needs for operation. The PMDM technology makes maintenance work superfluous, and migrating to the self-powered system is also very easy. At preset intervals, the smart radiator valve communicates by radio with a room control unit that monitors and regulates the temperature. A smartphone can optionally act as the control center. Thanks to the technology developed by PMDM, building automation is more sustainable than ever before, and self-powered wireless technology makes it state of the art.
