Experience freedom like never before – The smart home

Hettich’s lighting solutions by Halemeier Lighting feature the latest in European design excellence and are the perfect touch to complement and complete any living space – from the kitchen to the bathroom and everywhere in between. The Magic range has a wide variety of products to suit any application, from mood to task lighting, and includes a range of low voltage LED lights that give off virtually no heat and use limited energy – but now with more power. 

One of the newest features to the lighting range is the new wireless system Touch Link functionality. This means that almost all Halemeier Lighting products are now Smart home capable. The idea behind a smart home is to have everything talking to everything. This could be lighting, security cameras, airconditioning or smart appliances. All of these devices are connected and handled by automatic systems over a single network. What does this result in? A smart home! 

As many companies make different devices this can become problematic, to connect and have them working together on one network using a single common language. That is where Zigbee assists, it is a complete solution which uses a universal launguage that allows Zigbee certified devices to connect and communicate with each other on a secure low power network. Zigbee also allows for forwards and backwards compatability. 

A mesh network is used, so every time an extra lighting device is added like a S-Mitter basic MultiWhite2 controller the strength of the network improves and allows you to add further devices to the home with no hard wired connections required. As long as the next controller is in range the connection will be successful. Here are some of the big users of Zigbee in the smart home: Amazon, Comcast, Honeywell, Huawei, Philips, SmartThings, Texas Instruments, Belkin, Ikea, Lutron, Nokia, Osram, Bosch, Indesit, Samsung, Velux, Humax, Panasonic, Miele, plus more. Zigbee is also being used by the NASA mars mission.
