It's basically used DURING summer, but it does much more than keep the summer heat out.
A central automatic system with many sensors adds even more functions to this simple device.
Be it roller blinds, awnings, shutters or strip curtains, the Loxone Miniserver can handle them all. The basic control, which in a good case is timed operation, is a natural task. The system can do more than that. If it's cloudy, for example, it opens the shade to give the plants inside some sunlight.
In the heating season, it lets in the Sun's heat, but only enough to keep the room warm.
In the evening, it closes sensitive rooms to prying eyes outside. In the event of a break-in, all blinds are opened to prevent a burglar from searching inside undisturbed.
Automatically or by using the wall controls. You can also access any of these functions via your mobile phone at any time.
When you open the patio door, the shutter goes up automatically. Plus it won't come down until you've closed the door. Regardless of what program you need to run. But it can also be programmed so that if the cleaning lady raises the shutter to clean the windows, it won't go down on any command, because that could scare her and could be an accident hazard.
It can be programmed specifically. Not only the direction of the window, but also the side blinds, if any, can be programmed. In case of shuttering, it works with precise angles, taking into account the height of the sun and the momentary intensity of the sun. It is not a simple time program, it sees and knows everything. The program continuously analyses the data and moves the shading based on it.
