02/07/2024Project in the spotlight: “Replacement home automation system in service flats De Parel and De Brug in Zonhoven” Act With Care, system integrator in care technology and access control, renewed the home automation system in service flats De Parel and De Brug in Zonhoven. This makes it possible to automate actions such as the operation of lighting, heating and sockets. Conveniently, care calls are also linked to home automation so that there is an appropriate response in case of an emergency. Think of turning on lights, turning off the cooker, etc.... Due to some defects and exhaustion of spare parts, there was a need for a new and future-proof solution, which we installed in 71 flats. Thanks to close cooperation between Act With Care and Fermax Belgium NV, the preparation was optimal so that the conversion was completed in each flat by the evening. The residents could thus immediately use all the familiar home automation functionalities again. Safety was also guaranteed by the integrated call system.

04/06/2024The sun is shining: the nice weather is the perfect time to take another critical look at your self-consumption. High time to save money The latest version of Dobiss NXT now also turns your charging station into a smart consumer. You can choose from 3 options for charging: ✅ Manual ✅ Mixed ✅ Solar charging With those last two options, you make sure your charging station only starts charging when you have to much energy. This all happens automatically. So you take less (paying) energy from the grid and that does make a difference to your wallet. That way, an extra drink on a terrace is a nice opportunity. 😋 🚨 We are currently integrating with Alfen and Blitzpower charging stations. P.S.

10/05/2023Turn your heat pump into a smart consumer This is how you turn your heat pump into a smart consumer: 1. Check whether your heat pump is labeled SG Ready. Yes? Fine! 2. Contact your DOBISS installer to add your heat pump to your home automation system. 3. Your heat pump is now a smart consumer. Surplus solar energy? He uses it to heat your water or cool down your house by one degree. So you don't have to take extra energy from the grid.

26/04/2023DOBISS and the capacity rate The capacity rate is a fact. In concrete terms: the more energy you use at the same time, the more you pay. But how do you keep your peak consumption as low as possible? Well, Dobiss home automation predicts your peak consumption minute by minute, based on your current consumption. Does the peak exceed the limit you set? Then you will receive a message and the system will automatically switch off your largest consumers.

09/02/2023Energy management via DOBISS The cheapest energy is the energy that you do not have to get from the grid. But how do you ensure that you use as much of your own generated solar energy as possible? Well, you can connect our DOBISS NXT to the Fluvius digital meter. This way our system knows when you inject energy into the grid. And that is energy that you better use yourself, right? That is why you can compile a list of so-called smart consumers in DOBISS NXT. For example, charging points for your electric bicycle or battery. They then use the leftovers that you don't need, and would otherwise inject into the grid far too cheaply.

09/01/2023Let your smart devices talk to each other via ZIGBEE Easily add wireless extensions to your Dobiss NXT installation via ZIGBEE! ZigBee establishes local wireless connections between devices. A bit like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, but for sensor data. Ideal for home automation. Moreover, you do not need a connection to the cloud. Zigbee allows smart lighting from well-known brands such as IKEA*, PHILIPS HUE* and XIAOMI* to work sensor-controlled. But other integrations are also possible with DOBISS home automation. At DOBISS we now have our own micromodules to convert existing switches. That way you can benefit from the benefits of a DOBISS smart home everywhere! Ideal for a partial renovation or an extension of a smart home.

29/11/20222.000 NXT installations online! Congratulations to all our DOBISS installers!

With the DOBISS NXT server you can easily create automations based on time, day, temperature,…

06/04/2022Smart energy management thanks to DOBISS NXT With rising energy prices, it is becoming increasingly important to use as much of your solar energy as possible yourself. Because you can't keep an eye on your digital meter all the time, DOBISS NXT can help you with this. You draw up a list of 'smart consumers' who are allowed to use energy if there is a surplus - and therefore injection to the net. DOBISS NXT in combination with a P1 interface (DO0050) for the digital meter will then continuously monitor when it becomes interesting to activate these smart consumers. By measuring the injected energy, DOBISS NXT can perfectly estimate which consumers can be switched on in order to consume as much energy as possible.
