Smart living IoT solutions with iHaus

The iHaus software platform for smart home, smart living and smart building combines building services engineering products and solutions with IoT systems, devices and services in one central app (iOS and Android). It’s manufacturer-neutral and interoperable. More than 7,000 devices from over 400 manufacturers can now be seamlessly interconnected.

The iHaus platform is also powerful when it comes to KNX: Networking the KNX standard with systems and services from the IoT creates enormous added value for builders, electricians, the housing industry and prefabricated house manufacturers. And all with maximum future-proofing and investment security. In short, iHaus is the perfect platform for customising the LUXORliving KNX smart home system with devices and services from other manufacturers and turning it into fully integrated smart living solutions.

Application examples

Play music

The music scene is activated via the Theben iON push button, voice control or the iHaus app and played via integrated speaker systems.

Good morning

The “good morning” scene starts automatically every morning when the sun comes up. Light and music are switched on, the cooker and coffee machine are pre-heated and roller blinds are opened. The music scene is activated via the Theben iON push button, voice control or the iHaus app and played via connected speaker systems.

Anwendungsbeispiel

Washing machine done

As soon as the washing machine has finished the wash programme, the “washing machine done” scene is activated. A notification is sent in the defined ways, e.g. light signal, push notification or voice output.

Anwendungsbeispiel

Smoke detector

The “smoke detector” scene is activated as soon as smoke or heat is detected. A notification is sent in the defined ways, e.g. light signal, push notification or voice output. The roller blinds are also opened.

House empty

As soon as the door is locked manually or via the iHaus app, the “house empty” scene is activated. All defined devices, such as the cooker, coffee machine, extractor fan, light and music are automatically deactivated. At the same time, the robot vacuum cleaner gets to work.

Anwendungsbeispiel

My Henry

When the user presses the iON push button, “My Henry” is activated and a call for support is made. My Henry contacts the highest-priority person in the contact list via SMS or e-mail. If the support request is accepted, the job is complete. If this person does not respond, the notification is sent to the next person in the contact list. If nobody in the contact list accepts the support request, My Henry notifies the advice centre of the German Red Cross (DRK). The advice centre then contacts the user by telephone.

Anwendungsbeispiel

Integration of intercom systems

iHaus can also be used to connect third-party intercom systems to the LUXORliving KNX smart home system. Push notifications can be sent to a smartphone or video images can be forwarded directly via the iHaus app when the doorbell rings or if an access code is entered incorrectly.

iHaus Smart Living app

You can download the iHaus Smart Living app for free in the Apple Store and Google Play Store. This app can be used for intuitively linking LUXORliving components, as well as devices and services from other providers, and controlling (LINKIT) and automating (TRIGGER) them. It also offers a quick and easy way to create and combine cross-platform routines (SUM-ITup).

On this basis and using Theben iON push-button sensors or conventional push buttons with push button interfaces, it is possible to create, activate and automate a wide range of scenes.

Benefits for professionals and users

Integration of the KNX-based LUXORliving smart home system in the iHaus ecosystem offers enormous opportunities and benefits for builders, electricians, the housing industry and prefabricated house manufacturers.

KNX-Anbindung Grafik

As a building owner, you gain maximum flexibility for individual Smart Living solutions made to measure. So lässt sich das LUXORliving Smart Home System nahezu beliebig durch Lösungen anderer Hersteller erweitern.

As an electrician, you also benefit from the enormous variety of suppliers. This allows you to design customised Smart Living solutions for your customers without being tied to a few manufacturers and gives your customers maximum investment security.

As a company in the housing industry, such as operators of multi-apartment buildings or service flats, your properties and services can be made even more attractive and lucrative. Processes become more digital and thus more efficient. The building grows with the demands of its users. In addition, you set positive accents compared to the competition.

As a prefabricated house manufacturer, you can put together attractive and flexible complete packages of prefabricated house and Smart Living System for your customers. This allows you to expand your portfolio and gain the opportunity for additional sales. You differentiate yourself from the competition and offer your customers maximum freedom of choice in house design.

Not to forget: Whether builder or installer, real estate operator or prefabricated house manufacturer – you all benefit from maximum future security and maximum investment protection. Because there is no simpler, more open and more flexible way to design a Smart Living system. With LUXORliving and iHaus.

Smoke detector integration with EI Electronics

House fires or undetected carbon monoxide leaks (in the example from our partner www.eielectronics.de) can be fatal. For this reason, integrating smoke and carbon monoxide detectors into the LUXORliving KNX smart home system is highly recommended.

Note: The KNX Smart Home System LUXORliving does not serve as a life-saving system. The application examples shown here are only intended to demonstrate the interaction of different solutions and do not release from legal requirements.

Installation

In this application example, wireless alarm units are integrated via a coupler module and push button interfaces. The Ei414 coupler module has separate floating relay outputs for detecting fires and detecting CO. Another floating relay output transmits detector faults and informs you if detectors have been removed from the base without authorisation. The relay outputs can be connected to the binary inputs (LUXORliving B6, T2, T4 or T8) of the LUXORliving system.

In this application example, a LUXORliving T4 push button interface is used to forward the CO and fire warning. You have the option of integrating a fault message into the LUXORliving system via another input or activating the acoustics at all alarms (e.g. in the event of a panic alarm) via a switch contact.

Programming in LUXORplug and LUXORplay

The inputs of the LUXORliving T4 push button interface can be assigned to any function in the LUXORplug software. In this application example, the fire warning and the CO warning are used as triggers for individual scenes. As a result, new scene triggers are added, for the utility room, for example.

In the LUXORplay app, the new “CO warning” and “fire warning” scenes can then be created and the corresponding scene trigger can be selected.
