In private households, lighting requires a good 8% of the \nElectricity demand*. Saving electricity in lighting is possible through automation with the Local\n Control Network, by also giving intelligence to \nlighting. The lights that save the most electricity are those that are not turned on \nin the first place. Motion detectors in the LCN system only switch on lights \nwhen someone is actually detected in the vicinity. \nIf the person leaves the detection range of the sensor, the light is \nswitched off again after a transition period. <\/p>\n

The LCN modules can dim and switch either incandescent lamps as well as \nLED systems. Especially where a lot of energy is used for lighting, \nsuch as in open-plan offices and high-rise buildings, \nconstant lighting  control is becoming increasingly popular. Intelligent lighting with LCN. \nEven Philips HUE lights can be controlled, wirelessly of course.<\/p>

With LCN, all lighting tasks are implemented with the most ecologically, economically and functionally attractive variant in each case. Modular solutions enable partners from the luminaire manufacturing industry to build intelligent lighting systems cost-effectively. Lighting designers and installers can use the right configuration for the specific task based on the multifunctional modules.<\/p>

Both the proven 0-10V technology, the DMX protocol and the DALI lighting control allow a high degree of flexibility. From intelligent individual luminaires to a comprehensive lighting concept for buildings, which can also be linked with emergency lighting to form a common system. With LCN it is possible. In presence-controlled lighting systems, the use of LCN brings a new level of energy efficiency, safety and comfort.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Constant light controls ensure that artificial light in a room is used only to supplement daylight. Sensors register the currently available daylight, the presence of people in the room and, if necessary, other factors. LCN ensures that exactly the amount of light needed for the work areas is available at defined points in the room, instead of constantly running all luminaires at full power.<\/p>\n

Not only does this avoid unnecessary costs, protect the environment and create optimal working conditions. It also avoids glare effects, which can be just as annoying as too little light. uch controls require complex control functions and the processing of many values. The LCN system is already ideally equipped for such tasks in its structure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

During the course of the day, very different light is often needed or desired in the same places. During cooking and housework, the kitchen should be bright, with rather cool light. At dinner, it may be less light, with a little more red components. In the living room, when working at the desk, that’s exactly where a lot of light is needed. An hour later, while watching TV or chatting with guests, a completely different lighting is desired. When relaxing with Bach or Chopin similar, but again different. Thus, for just one room, a dozen different illuminations can be useful.<\/p>\n

Each LCN module can store up to 100 light scenes. Since all modules communicate and exchange data independently, a lighting scenario for an entire house can be called up with the touch of just one button on a keypad. Or just for the dining table in the kitchen. But LCN not only controls, but also reports. For example, if the light is still on in the children’s room late at evening.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Especially in transit areas such as corridors, basements or storage rooms, light is often needed only for a short time. Motion and presence sensors report when people have entered or left an area, so that the light is only switched on for this period. This is not only convenient, but also increases safety. Not infrequently, both hands are needed to carry things in the garage or storeroom, the LCN system takes care of the lighting, the tedious search for the light switch is eliminated and shortly after leaving the room the light goes out again. Without anyone stumbling because there was no hand free for switching on the light.<\/p>\n

Sometimes even little light is enough. For example, when getting up at night. Depending on the time of day or the brightness of the day, lights in the hallway or bathroom are only switched on automatically after getting up, dimmed considerably. Or the Corona\u00ae light of the GT pushbutton series<\/a><\/strong> serves as a night light. Especially for seniors or people with limited mobility, this is a plus in safety and convenience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Everyone knows that it is not a good idea to leave the window open or tilted for hours in winter when the heating is on. Also, the different temperature zones in the house, such as the bedroom, bathroom and living room, are often not heated to what the actual heat demand is. Temperature-guided heating controls with outdoor sensors were an initial advance, but they cannot take into account conditions or needs in the home. Home automation with the Local Control Network simplifies heating control through automation by incorporating internal as well as external factors and the habits of the residents.<\/p>\n

Appropriate sensors and actuators can be used to optimize the energy required for heating. For this purpose, both actual and setpoint temperatures are included in the control, as well as time- and location-dependent factors. Thus, a night temperature of 18 \u00b0C is usually sufficient in bedrooms. The living room may be 21 \u00b0C to 22 \u00b0C, but it is not appropriate to maintain these temperatures even when no one is in the house. Therefore, when leaving the house, even in winter, the temperature in all rooms is reduced. It is brought back into the comfort zone either by time of day, or when the occupants return to the house, or in advance from the office using the LCN-GVS app just before work ends. The sauna can be preheated at the same time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Security requires intelligence<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAlarm systems significantly increase the security of a property, even an apartment. However, they require sophisticated sensor technology to prevent unauthorized intrusion or even vandalism. But just a few motion detectors are not enough, it takes a little more intelligence to effectively and reliably implement protective functions.\n\nFor this purpose, the LCN system not only has a wide range of sensors, but can also integrate just as many other active detection systems via its input modules. These include magnetic contacts for windows and doors, glass breakage detectors for showcases and door glazing, alarm detectors in facade glazing, through to capacitive detectors for objects or people. Together with the intelligence in the LCN system, multi-level alarm zones can now be formed to respond appropriately in each case. For example, the letter carrier’s visit to the mailbox can remain without consequences, but an approach of people from the back of the house can already trigger a pre-alarm. Such functions are programmed individually for the particular object and security needs.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Even the best alarm technology should not be left to itself. Especially for one’s own sense of security, it must be possible to find out about the current status in the house. The global visualization system LCN-GVS<\/strong><\/a> allows to check the current status of the house from any location via any web browser, whether motion detectors or other sensors in the house have responded since the last check and whether all lights are switched off. In addition, actions can also be triggered remotely, such as closing shutters or switching lights.<\/p>\n

With the graphical interface of the LCN-GVS, this visualization is not a tool for technicians or specialists, but a tool for everyday use and for every user. How the graphical interface is designed is decided by the user with the installer, from elaborate background images with lots of details to simply labeled icons. The easiest way is to use the LCN-GVS app for smartphones, which optimizes the network traffic at the same time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Especially in your home, you want to have the greatest possible security, who enters the house and when. LCN can be used to reliably set up access control, with people identifying themselves using RFID cards and chips<\/strong><\/a>, car keys or – for maximum security – the LCN-GFPS<\/strong><\/a> fingerprint sensor. Access can also be restricted in terms of time and space. With electric door closing systems, finely graded access to the building is allowed, for the particular person at those doors and at those times. If an RFID card is lost, it is simply deleted from the system. With LCN visualization even from a distance.<\/p>\n

Access protection in commercial properties is even more important. With the LCN-GVS, a virtually unlimited number of access options can be created and stored, even for different buildings. So one ID card is valid for all the company’s buildings. Different user groups in the LCN-GVS allow the HR department to issue new cards, but not to access heating or air conditioning. And to ensure that it is clear afterwards who entered the building when and where, everything is meticulously logged. Then there will be no more discussions about who was late.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The best protection against burglary is a house that appears inhabited. Since the greatest danger to one’s property comes from marauding gangs who do not plan the burglary in advance, a presence simulation can provide additional security in advance. Here the universal sensor LCN-GUS offers some possibilities by closing the shutters only below a certain daylight. Due to changing weather, this changes the closing time. Only in the morning the shutters are opened again by timers in the LCN-GVS Global Visualization.<\/p>\n

Additionally, LCN home automation switches certain lighting on and off in the evening or at night. The presence simulation is perfected by different closing times of the roller shutters or switching of the lighting, which are determined by values such as outside temperature or daytime brightness. An alternative to this is to program the timers in the LCN visualization differently for the days of the week. While not every burglary can be prevented with such a simulation, most burglars prefer to steer clear of an inhabited house.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

If an emergency has occurred and there has been a break-in or the cellar is under water due to a burst washing machine hose, further measures should be taken quickly. Possibly, a pre-alarm could still prevent a burglary in case of unexpected movements in the garden. In such a situation, the LCN system can send so-called push messages that land in the LCN smartphone app and inform about unusual situations in the house. Information can also be forwarded to residents or other contacts via SMS or e-mail.<\/p>\n

The LCN system is outstanding compared to other solutions for building automation in that both small apartment and large commercial buildings can be automated. This in turn requires that multiple installations can also be managed from a single central instance. This is provided for with LCN and the LCN-GVS from the basic structure and thereby also benefits the private user. Push messages are a viable way to be quickly and reliably informed about situations in the building, be it a burglary or the failure of the heating system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The home is not only threatened by burglars or vandals with spray cans. Weather can also affect a house, such as heat, heavy rain or storms. Even a tilted window and heavy rain can cause enough trouble. Weather stations like the LCN-WIH<\/strong><\/a> measure wind speeds, rain and outdoor temperatures. Extended awnings or external blinds could easily be damaged in strong winds. During heavy storms, it is recommended to lower shutters to protect windows from wood breakage. The LCN system is informed of such weather conditions and closes windows or shutters and retracts awnings or outdoor blinds.<\/p>\n

The LCN-WIH provides even more information, including outdoor temperature, brightness and GPS data. The GPS data can be used to calculate the position of the sun, the temperature sensor reports how warm it actually is, and the brightness sensor reports how much sun arrives. Before the house can heat up excessively, shading measures are initiated. In the cold season, the weather station works to the heating control system so that frost damage never occurs in the house. Weather-guided control of all the technologies involved in the smart home also ensures that the house is protected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Many security breaches occur due to inattention or carelessness. By automating security, momentary influences such as the waiting cab or the overslept customer appointment no longer play a role. An out-of-home button on the LCN-GT6<\/a><\/strong> at the front door closes all windows, turns off all lights, as well as the sockets in the kitchen. Alarm mode will be activated. Rooms are monitored with motion and heat sensors, and windows and doors are controlled with locking contacts and glass break detectors.<\/p>\n

If the alarm mode remains active for a longer period of time, the presence simulation is added, the heating is lowered and roller shutters are closed automatically. If you even forget to press the out-of-home button, the house will set itself to alarm mode after a long period of inactivity, thanks to LCN. In this way, LCN takes over the attention to the safety of the house.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

LCN-GVS is the global visualization software for monitoring and operating any number of LCN systems. It can be used in small facilities as well as for very large, globally distributed properties. Any number of visualization stations can be active simultaneously via Internet browsers. A comprehensive authorization system gives each user or user group individual rights for monitoring or control.
The LCN-GVS simultaneously extends the functionality of an LCN installation. It complements the system with global timers, access control for a virtually unlimited number of people and buildings, and calendar functions and macros for simplified programming.<\/p>\n

Another visualization is offered by the LCN-VISU, which is simply installed as a module in a distribution and controlled via browser. It offers a list view and a tile view over all actuators and sensors and can be set up in 5 minutes. Since the LCN-VISU is based on the international standard openHAB, it can be easily coupled with many third-party systems such as voice assistants, audio control and many more.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The access point to an LCN installation is any PC running Microsoft\u00ae Windows\u00ae on which the LCN-GVS<\/strong><\/a> is installed and there is a connection to the LCN bus. At the same time, this PC is integrated into the local network and can thus be accessed within the building and, if desired, also from outside. From the outside, of course, only encrypted and via individual access data. Any web browser, whether on a notebook, on a smartphone or even from a game console, can now access the LCN-GVS and control or monitor the installation.<\/p>\n

In the visualization, so-called tableaus are created, graphical surfaces of any level of detail, on which control elements, but also sensors or lamps are placed. This allows the LCN installation to be operated and monitored remotely. For example, it can be evaluated whether sensors in a room have responded, which lights are switched on or what temperatures prevail in a room. Since the LCN system with its four-level acknowledgement and reporting system can reliably determine the status of modules, you always see the actual state of the installation, not the expected one.<\/p>\n
