blackcab Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) We have btcino throughout the house. It's used mostly for the lights and extractor fans in the toilets but there are some electric sockets in the system. We could add the curtains but it's a feature that wouldn't get used much. The system is controlled by an app using the Internet. It's very good and can be configured many different ways. Here's a picture if the control unit: Edited November 24, 2015 by blackcab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogers Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Seen such gadgets featured in the soap 'Friends' over 20 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lannarebirth Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 It doesn't seem particularly "smart" to me, just a different user interface. Wouldn't a smart home do things automatically based on sensors and such? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights etc? Can you explain your system a bit more or post a link to who fitted it? RAZZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcab Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 It was a few hundred thousand baht for the control unit, wiring and installation/setup. The light fittings were extra. That is for a reasonable sized house with several rooms and switches. The team that fitted it also did the cctv and the wifi. They are Thai and don't have a website. Btcino is an Italian company but their products are available in Thailand. You can download lots of product information here: http://www.download.bticino.it/bticino/action/viewHome The entire system is programmable, so any light switch can be programmed to turn on (or off) any light, set of lights or combination of lights in the building. As an example, you can have a night button. Press it and selected outside lights, stair lights and bedroom lights all come on at the same time. At any time you can reprogram any of the switches to any format you want. Every switch is also a dimmer switch (if you are using dimmable lights). The app can remotely turn on or off any lights, plus you can have preconfigured settings for different areas of the house or the whole house.

blackcab Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I'm definitely not an electrician, so I have no idea what any of this stuff is - but here are some pictures of the inside: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkingTourist Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Personally I’d be interested in smart air conditions since that would be a noticeable advantage, i.e. ensure the place is cooled down before returning. Though I often leave windows open, so ideally would need to also be able to open and close windows remotely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
