Vavei - Components

Control of blinds and strip curtains

Visualization provides a clear overview of all blinds and strip curtains in the building. Central control is very simple with a simple touch of a button and a component with symbols. The symbols are easily distinguished and their functions are logically recognized, which enables easy use of the system. It is also possible to connect to other logic modules and sensors of the KNX system. In this way, the automation controls environment of the object, for example: If the wind starts blowing at a speed over 40 m / s, the system will automatically raise all blinds and save them from destruction.

Control of blinds, awnings, curtains, and projector screen

Control of blinds, awnings, curtains and projector screen is very simple in the Vavei system. Through the very location of the button on the project and the symbol that unequivocally speaks of what kind of device it is. Component visualization causes the user to use the component and manage the system without thinking. The component is designed to offer all the functions that an actuator has. Position feedback allows central management of elements that are not visible to the user. The component can be adapted to any environment and all properties are variable so that the system integrator can use it for devices that are not intended, for example: Loader crane, elevator, crane, etc. Depending on the level of automation, the blinds themselves react to situations and information of the environment, so they can go down if shading the room is needed due to the sun or the desired level of light, or to react to a dinner scene, alarm, etc. Awnings can be pulled in by themselves in the event of strong winds and storms to protect themselves from destruction.

Lighting control

Special attention is paid to the control of lighting in the vavei system, there is a possibility to display the lighting in various ways and bring it closer to the realistic appearance in the building. By simply positioning yourself on the project and entering group addresses, you can control individual lights or entire lighting lines. The design is so defined that no changes are required by default, so a beautiful visualization can be made in the shortest way. If there is a need to change the style of the component, all combinations are available: Changing the shape, appearance, symbols, colors, transparency, rotation, etc. In the WaveDesigner, the appearance of the component for ON and OFF state is defined in a simple way. Lighting design is especially intuitive, with simple mouse movements you can create an oval, elongated, wall or directional light. The new way of lighting component enables maximum utilization of space, with the use of HotSpot and ControlPanel it is possible to group elements, so display them so that their states can be seen in the project overview, without taking up space on the main project.

Lighting intensity control (Dimm Light)

Lighting intensity control is defined by the DImmLight component, which consists of two parts, one is an indication with a true display of light and intensity, and the other in the form of a transparent popup dialog, which is controlled in several ways. Simply on / off, by clicking on the yellow surface or precisely defining the intensity using the number keys. Of course, you have the opportunity to display the lighting in various ways and bring it closer to the real look in the building. By simply positioning on the project and entering group addresses for on / off and for the intensity value, you can control individual lights or entire lighting lines. The design is so defined that no changes are required by default, so a beautiful visualization can be made in the shortest way. If there is a need to change the style of the component, all combinations are available: Changing the shape, appearance, symbols, colors, transparency, rotation, etc. In the WaveDesigner, the appearance of the component for ON and OFF state is defined in a simple way. Lighting design is intuitive, with simple mouse movements you can create oval, elongated, wall or directional light. DimmLight is scaled so that the user can use the component accurately and precisely.

Control of sockets and devices that are not KNX compatible

Control of all sockets in a building or room is important from two aspects: The first is safety, where it is important that in various situations all sockets are safely disconnected, for example: In a child's room, it is necessary to turn off the voltage in all sockets in case the baby puts a finger or an object. It is also important that the child cannot activate them on his own! A code is required in the wave system to activate the socket, thus preventing unauthorized and unintentional activation. If the user leaves the house and activates the absence scene, it is necessary to turn off all sockets, except those that are necessary for the functioning of the system such as air conditioning, heating, refrigerator, etc. This prevents the switched-on ironed iron or activated oven from causing a fire! Another aspect is the management of devices that do not support the KNX standard, they can be controlled through this component, by controlling the power supply of these devices (on / off). An additional advantage is that their states can be read and displayed. For example: Activation of room fans, table lamps, pumps, motors, etc.

Temperature control

The temperature control component is designed so that it does not take up space on the project, for configuration it is enough to enter group addresses for the desired and current temperature. Use is simple, by opening a dedicated dialog that clearly displays the current values and controls for the user. The component displays the desired and current temperature, maximum and minimum values that the user can set. The colored ring symbolizes cold-warm and reacts to touch, so the approximate temperature is set easily and quickly. Precise adjustment of the desired temperature is done by simply touching the upper or lower surface of the numbers displayed in the central part of the component.

Fan control

The fan component shows the fan status. If desired the symbol can be rotated when the fan is on. For configuration, it is enough to enter the group address and define symbols and colors for ON and OFF states. The use is simple by clicking on the component, the fan turns on and off. Through a combination of symbols, colors and shapes, the component can be adapted to any ventilation system or used for other purposes where type 1bit is given and where symbol rotation is required.

Control of pumps and electric motors

The pump and electric motor control component shows the current status of electric motors and pumps. If desired the symbol can be rotated when the electric motor is switched on. For configuration, it is enough to enter the group address and define symbols and colors for ON and OFF states. It is easy to use by clicking on the component. Such devices are mainly controlled by the use of binary actuators.

System sensors

System sensors detect displacements, the presence, the intensity of light, gas, smoke etc. The system then uses these parameters and does the necessary action to react smartly to the detected situation. You can provide additional security to your home by opening and shutting your curtains, as well as controlling your lighting, giving the impression that someone is home while you and your family are away on holiday.

Alarm control

Vavei visualizes the current state of sensors and security zones of the alarm system. Security zones, sensors and security locks can be displayed together with the KNX installation. Alarm and security zones can be activated / deactivated internally, through Vavei touch screen. Some security areas may be excluded from the alert system, a door can be locked or unlocked. Vavei enables the visualization through Axis or Mobotix IP cameras. From the review of video streams it is possible to choose a camera, to zoom in, to record, to listen or to communicate through IP Security cameras, which support the two-way communication. The program “simulation of presence” is used to deceive and dissuade the potential intruders, by simulating the presence of family members by the KNX system (lights are turning on / off, blinds are going down, etc.).
