Hager is one of the premium brands available from leading supplier ElectroMechanica (EM). The company has a longstanding relationship with the Hager group, highlights EM spokesperson Lizanne Scholtz. Hager is a leading supplier of solutions and services related to electrical installation systems for residential and commercial properties and industrial applications.
The cost and time incurred by hard-wiring systems for ‘smart’ homes has inhibited growth in this sector. However, coviva’s micromodules can be combined with a smartbox and app to enable the control and monitoring functions necessary for a ‘smart’ home. The smartbox itself also means less cabling through walls and rebuilding work.
Once installed behind existing switches or connection boxes, the micromodules communicate wirelessly with each other. The user is able to automate multiple functions throughout the home, including lights and blinds.
Each micromodule can be linked to a button that is fast and easy to program. Designed to deliver exceptional wireless reach, the micromodules can cross through two concrete slabs indoors, and still transmit up to 30 m. Outdoors the range can extend as far as 100 m in an open field.
The technology also permits connection to a range of devices. In addition to the micromodules, Hager coviva is also a hub for managing heating/cooling and security systems and other connected objects. The modular design means that any new components can be added seamlessly in order to suit changing customer requirements.
“The Hager coviva app allows homeowners to control lights, blinds, and other home systems anywhere and at any time. In addition, customers can create their own personalised scenes and associated rules, with all data stored on the local smartbox, accessible only by users for added security. Remote access is also possible via an encrypted service,” Scholtz concludes.
