Building automation components

The smart home is a technology that for years has been seen as an upcoming new opening in the electronics market. Every year, there are more and more products designed to create home and building automation installations. Their performance and functionality are also steadily improving, making the creation of customised solutions accessible to all. <br/span> Fd22d1859d <br/span>.

In the context of home automation systems, it is worth noting the new additions to the Micros range. These include control panels and controllers, remote controls, sensors, switches and a whole range of necessary accessories such as executive relays or power supplies. These components work together to create a coherent control system with options for access and control from the internet and smartphone apps. In the following article, we present the installation touch-sensitive managed switches that are part of this system.


Managed wall switches

Tactical switches are a solution where full mechanical compatibility is ensured, i.e. the ability to be installed in traditional round electrical boxes, and electrical compatibility, i.e. the ability to replace traditional solutions without re-wiring. The touch-sensitive, single-channel switch combines an aesthetically pleasing and modern design with functionality and safety. The front panel of the switch is made of glass, which provides a modern look, durability and environmental resistance. .
The switch itself is fireproof, splashproof and scratchproof thanks to this design. In the centre of the switch there is an LED illuminating the touch element, which changes colour when the sensor is touched and at night gives a soft blue glow for easy location. The touch sensor allows silent operation and, by eliminating relays, the lifespan of this solution is longer than traditional switches. It can also be important to minimise the risk of electric shock, as there is galvanic isolation between the user panel and the live circuit, thanks to the capacitive sensor and glass panel. Another safety aspect is that there are no traditional contact elements here, the sparking of which can damage the switch or lead to ignition.

Microsa offers one-, two- and three-button switches. With a maximum load power of 200 watts, virtually any building consumer can be controlled.

Wireless communication .

The switches have a built-in radio chip operating at 433 MHz, so they can be remotely controlled and managed using the Broadlink control panel. It allows control from the Android and iOS app from anywhere in the world, the ability to programme scenarios, scenes and interact with motion, window and door sensors and control lighting switches. In addition, multiple remote controls can be connected to the control unit. The control unit has a built-in Wi-Fi interface (connection Internet and WAN), an RF link for operating building automation components and an IR port for remote controls.
