For 80 years, Carlo Gavazzi has been a leading force in energy management and industrial and building automation, built on innovative research and development activities, all underpinned by continued cautious financial growth.
The company opened its doors in 1931, establishing a Milan headquarters for distribution of Johnson oil burners and Honeywell instrumentation. Now, Carlo Gavazzi Automation Components operates through 21 wholly-owned sales companies and selected representatives in more than 65 countries from the Pacific Rim to the United States.
Today's strengths in renewable energy and industrial automation are at the forefront of the company's strategy for the future, evidenced by current annual growth rates of 12 percent per annum in building automation markets.
Carlo Gavazzi has a solution for domestic home automation which is sold under the brand name of smart-house. The system is built on the sound foundations of its industrial counterpart, Dupline, which has a strong reputation in the world of distributed I/O for being robust and simple to install and commission.
The smart-house system uses an advanced central controller based on the robust Windows CE platform. The controller contains the core program to provide the necessary control for the home, and is also the gateway to integrate third-party products such as alarm panels, audio systems and touchscreens.
Smart-house keypads for the control of lighting, blinds and heating have been designed to fit standard wall plates, with a wide choice of finishes and styles for the home owner. The AURORA 44 x 44 range will fit wall plates from Niko and Legrand, while the EUNICA 55 x 55 range will fit wall plates from Elko, Gira and Jung.
Smart-house keypads are supplied with white or anthracite covers to complement the chosen wall plate design. Each keypad button has two programmable LED indicators that can be customised to suit the home owner's requirements.
The backlit smart-house temperature display shows the room temperature from its built-in temperature sensor, while the four-button keypad allows heating and cooling set points to be adjusted between pre-defined limits. Manual override of heating or cooling, and energy-saving night setback can also be implemented temporarily, but returns to automatic control at the next time setting.
The smart-house system has a broad range of output devices including relay modules for switched lighting, solid state output modules for heating (underfloor heating and radiator) together with a range of dimmers for scene control. The latest version of the smart-house dimmer has been designed specifically to work with the latest generation of dimmable LED fittings that are becoming available.
The smart-house controller is provided with a very simple and effective configuration tool. Using just three steps, installers first define a layout of the house by floor and then room. Next, all of the addresses are generated automatically for the input and output modules using the information from step one. Finally the control features required are defined in the functions section, and then the application can be downloaded to the controller.
