FROGBLUE – INTELLIGENT BUILDING TECHNOLOGY

Made in Germany installed globally.

This 6,000 sqm property in Provence in the South of France which is part farmhouse renovation and part new build, has recently been equipped with the latest in innovative Intelligent Building Technology from frogblue.

The frogblue Bluetooth LE mesh based system not only controls the individual functionalities of the lighting system, the ventilation, the shutters, blinds and awnings, the alarm systems and access control it also combines all of these into one interactive intelligent system. At certain times of the day and under predefined conditions the system will react according to configured commands.

Video surveillance is carried out by MOBOTIX ™ cameras which are integrated with the frogblue system via the frogblue USB link and so offer all the combined benefits of frogblue functionality and MOBOTIX intelligent surveillance, alarm notifications and commands.

For this particular cable free Smart Home System the following specific functions were requested by the customer:

Central- Off when leaving the house, Central-On as a Panic Mode Command ( where all lights will be turned on with or without flashing mode) and predefined lighting scenarios for the terrace, Pool and outside areas.

In alarm mode, a notification is sent when a door or window is open or tilted.

At night, corridor lights are activated at a preset brightness level when any of the outside doors are opened.
A double click on a light button can activate the panic function in defined parts of the building.
A triple click, on selected light buttons will activate/deactivate all the lights in the building e.g. if the owner comes home when it is dark.

What were the main factors that made frogblue the obvious choice for this property owner?
As soon as the local electrician installed the frogblue modules in the rooms all lights could be turned on/off and dimmed – without any configuration.
The cableless installation meant minimum disruption in the buildings and
the configuration of the messaging and notification, the setup of room and signal names, room scenarios, frogblueHome App and frogDisplay as well as the setup of the central functions took less than two days, which meant enormous time savings for the installer and financial savings for the house owner compared to other systems.
The frogblue system does not require a central control unit, internet or cloud connection for set up and no IT installation. Each frog has a built in logic module which enables every frog to receive, analyze and forward messages from every other frog in the system, a decentralized, robust and intelligent solution with no potential central point of failure and no problems with distance. The communication between frogs is highly encrypted using both frogblue 128bit and Bluetooth ™ network encryption.
