OpenRemote Application Integration
This video demonstrates an integrated home automation scenario with OpenRemote. We've created and integrated four different application areas: lighting, climate, entertainment and peace of mind.
The lighting application is based on Z-wave switches and allows lights control based on pre-defined scenarios such as 'all on', 'away', etc. Lights can also be controlled individually and with dimming. Also while you can have central control from your tablet or smart phone, individual physical light switches are still present and can be used normally. Their status (on/off) is also automatically reflected on the touch user interface.
This scenario is using Z-wave wireless sensor network for lighting control -- OpenRemote can integrate with KNX or Lutron lights just as easily and using the same UI template.
The entertainment application is using infrared access to TVs, radio and audio playback. Audio sources can be switched from the touch interface and having all entertainment devices available from a unified control panel helps reduce the clutter of multiple remote controls.
Peace of mind application gives monitoring capabilities through control applications. House windows and doors can be equipped with sensors that reveal their status (open/close) and IP cameras can be used for video streaming the building surroundings.
The user interface is one of the standard templates we are creating for OpenRemote. It allows seamless navigation between different application scenarios and extends easily as you add more automation controls to your house. At the same time, the OpenRemote UIs are fully customizable, allowing the creation of individualized user experiences and branding.
These scenarios can be further extended with additional controls, such as lock control, security alerts, outside temperature sensors or baby monitors. The OpenRemote automation system can also be extended with intelligent rules and behavior, for example automatically muting the audio sources when receiving phone calls. Some of these we plan to demonstrate with additional videos.
