Yes, DigitalDreams is compatible to various voltage standards. However we need to verify service availability & site-feasibility prior to installation. To keep track of our progress, be sure to check out our blog.
Our control software [NOVA] is web based runs inside a browser like a website. This way any smart device which has a browser & wifi support can be used to control your home/office.
In such case you will not be able to control your home/office using smart device however, you can still control your lighting using IR Remote & Switches.
Due open standards almost all devices can be integrated with DigitalDreams. Here's the list All Lighting Loads eg. Bulb, LED Light, Chandelier, Tube Light, CFL Lamp, Geyser, Boiler, Appliance etc Any nature of Curtain / Door Mechanism eg. Vertical Blind, Horizontal Curtain, Door , Window etc All Audio & Video Devices eg. TV, STB, DVD Player, Blue Ray Player, Media Streaming Device, Amplifier, CD Player etc Air conditioner eg. Window AC, Split AC, VRV AC, VRF AC, Cassette AC etc Also, DigitalDreams supports many protocols - TCP/IP, RS422, RS485, RS232 for further support of devices.
With DigitalDreams automation, you can achieve energy saving using Dimming [cap max intensity of lighting devices to 80%, thus saving 20%], Time based control [automatically switch off devices], Blinds & Air-con correlated control [auto close blinds based on sunlight intensity thus, reducing the energy used to cool that area]
Once you have Automation in place, usage and control is done using many user interface eg. IR Remote Control, Smart Device etc. Controls are generally achieved by giving command. In case of ordinary On/Off switch - the command is permanat status. While once automation is done the command is just an instruction given to back end hardware. So to reduce confusion and for logical ease of operation just Contact or Bell push switch is required.
If power goes off, every thing is off. No problems enjoy your candle light dinner. If Internet connection is down, you will not be able to control & monitor your home/office from remote location.
