Receivers

Receivers are various types of signal receiving devices that are part of wireless installations used, among others, in when creating a smart home. In addition to the receiver, other important elements here are also:

• transmitters,
• sensors,
• controllers,
• power switches,
• wireless control sets.

An intelligent house (also known as smart building or smart home) is a technologically advanced central management system for various types of installations installed inside (and sometimes also outside) a building. It is a collection of popular and widely known devices, combined into one integrated system. Its task is to simplify and automate various types of activities related to facility management.

The operation of a smart home is based on a network of sensors and detectors, with the help of which the house automatically responds to specific conditions, and this leads to the optimization of the functionality of individual installations. In this modern solution, it is possible to control e.g.:

• heating,
• an alarm and monitoring system,
• lighting (e.g. in the driveway or in front of the garage),
• ventilation,
• blinds,
• air conditioning,
• sprinklers in the garden,
• entrance gate and many others.

All these systems can be collected in the application on the phone, thanks to which it will be possible to control them using a smartphone even when the tenant is away from home. Properly configured receivers will react to a command even from a very long distance.

The integration of individual installations allows you to conveniently control almost any device. Advanced technology also increases the safety of the building and its equipment, as it enables, among other things, simulating the presence of household members based on previously recorded events, which allows you to protect yourself against the intrusion of burglars.

Intelligent installation primarily increases security at home, in the apartment and in the company, enables constant and convenient monitoring of what is happening in the absence of tenants, and also allows you to minimize the costs associated with breakdowns, burglary or theft (the sooner you notice, that water is leaking, the easier it will be to deal with the fault and its effects).

Smart home systems are divided into:

• wired - based on Internet cables, switches and NAS stations;
• wireless - controlled via wi-fi network or Bluetooth technology.

Receivers in a smart home

Receivers are part of a wireless network, which is more convenient and simpler to install due to the lack of the need to run wires, and therefore drilling in walls, floors or moving furniture.

Radio box receivers are used both as elements for mounting in flush-mounted and surface-mounted installation boxes, and as actuators built directly into housings of lighting fittings and other receivers.

Shutter control receiver

The advanced roller shutter control system can raise them at the appointed time or after detecting movement in certain areas of the apartment, and lower them, for example, after dusk or when the household members turn on the light in the house. It is also possible to configure the system so that the blinds – following the passing sun – they close where it is operating the most and open in those windows that are already in the shade.

By choosing an advanced roller shutter control system, you can improve not only the comfort, but also the safety of household members. It's about, for example, a situation in which carbon monoxide escapes in the house or a fire breaks out. By opening the shutters, the intelligent system can help in safe evacuation, as well as in reducing material losses. However, in the event of a burglary, even if there is no one in the house, the system can raise the blinds and, for example, turn on the lights, which will scare the intruder away.

In order to create this type of system, a control panel is necessary that will communicate with end devices (receivers) and issue commands in accordance with the guidelines. Peripheral devices (e.g. mounted in a switch) are also necessary, which will control the roller shutter.

The el12.pl offer includes roller shutter controller, which is designed to control window roller shutter drives with a 230 V electric motor with limit switches. The device has the function of local and central roller shutter control and has the ability to save comfort modes (they allow you to set the roller shutter position in a fixed position, at a given height and remember this position). The central mode is used when a roller shutter or a group of roller shutters is fully lowered or raised, regardless of their current position.

The controller is designed for wired and wireless control of roller shutters, awnings and gates. It is an energy-saving device, adapted to continuous operation. It is distinguished by easy installation in an installation box and the possibility of cooperation with any shutter connector.

Gate control receiver

An intelligent gate control system can, for example, open and close it depending on the detection of the movement of an approaching car. State-of-the-art solutions, through an application installed on a smartphone, allow for remote opening and closing of automatic garage doors, sliding entrance gates and doors equipped with an electric lock. But these advanced systems are also designed so that if excessive humidity is detected in the garage, they open the upper elements of the door, ventilating the room, while preventing garbage or leaves from getting inside.

In the offer of the el12.pl store you can find a radio gate receiver with universal use (it will be suitable regardless of the manufacturer of the gate). It is a controller for the operation of garage doors and similar drives, enabling control using transmitters. An additional benefit is the possibility of joint control - with one remote control - of the entrance gate, garage door, room lighting, etc.

Distinguishing features of this type of device include:

• possibility of using one remote control for several different drives (entrance to the property, garage),
• possibility to increase the operating range by using a repeater,
• possibility to connect an external wire antenna,
• universal low-voltage power supply (12-24V AC/DC),
• large operating range (up to 250 m).

Combining the controller with a home router allows you to open gates and doors and control their status from anywhere in the world. Distance doesn't matter as long as the property owner has internet access. This allows only authorized persons to enter the house and control what is happening in the building.

Light dimming receiver

Thanks to them, we are able to control the illuminance of a given lamp or bulb. The dimmer gives you the ability to control the light power from zero to full range by changing the input voltage in the lighting.

Radio recessed receivers offered by el12.pl are used both as elements for mounting in flush-mounted and surface-mounted installation boxes, as well as actuators built directly into housings of lighting fittings and other receivers. In. Popular models enable operation in 5 different modes (on, off, monostable, bistable, time).
