Budget smart home based on 48 channel mix controller

In this article I will talk about the minimum configuration of a smart home for a small apartment, hotel room or office based on a universal mix controller.

1. Universal mix controller for automation of hotel rooms, standard apartments or offices

We have at our disposal all 48 channels:

relay channels from 1 to 13 to 5A each,

relay channels from 14 to 17 to 10A each,

dimming channels from 18 to 21 to 1A each,

24 dry contacts

connection up to 5 doorbells,

6 LED load control outputs

The hotel automation system with the help of 48 channels can monitor and control various devices and modes: panels, curtains, lamps, ventilation and climate control systems, as well as other devices.













This controller from the company HDL

This system is equipped with a relay input with “dry” contacts, dual communication protocols and intelligent doorbell functions. It also allows you to monitor and control various devices: ventilation and climate control systems, light sources, panels, curtains, door bells, etc.



This system supports RJ45 and HDL Buspro interfaces.

The RJ45 IP interface allows the system to connect to an existing Ethernet network, which makes it possible not to purchase an additional gateway for system programming and remote access to the bus. and install the buspro firmware and work as a gateway to the bus from the Ethernet side, as well as supporting iRidium Mobile licenses to itself with the ability to use an unlimited number of mobile devices.



The HDL Buspro interface is used to connect modules of different functionality with each other, such as panels, door bells, sensors, etc.

')



The RCU module has up to 17 output channels (5A or 10A), we have at our disposal control of low-power loads: light, small motors, pumps, calls, locks, sirens, servo lines, etc.

3. New multifunctional 8 in 1 sensor.



Quick connect to HDL buspro buspro. Detection of motion, light, temperature, IR transmission, 2 pairs of dry contacts and the logic of using external conditions

Built-in IR motion detector and light sensor.

2 dry contact inputs (for external sensors).

Built-in logic - 32 logical blocks.

Maximum 5 inputs for a logical solution.

Maximum 10 control targets for each logical block. IR receiver. IR transmitter.

Memory for 240 IR commands.

3 address security zones.



4. DLP panel modular design of European standard





Square European style;

enlarged glass size for a full fit to the wall;

7 dynamic pages;

built-in IR receiver;

thermostat;

temperature sensor;

music client management (display of songs and playlists);

control of heating, air conditioning, security.

Built-in IR receiver, thermostat, temperature sensor 2-position keys (left-right, 99 commands for each side).



Button operation modes:

- one on / off, one on, one off, combination on, combination off, - instantly.



Button control options:

- scene, sequence, timer, universal switch, - control of one channel, broadcast of the scene, broadcast of the channel, - curtain - pages 1-4 for controlling the lighting and other loads, - page 5 for controlling the air conditioner, - page 6 for controlling the music, - page 7 for heating control.



Timer Functions Scenarios up to 99 events. The user determines the backlight and the status of the LCD.

Free graphics in bmp format with reference to status.

Color and frame material and buttons to choose from. Firmware update on HDL buspro bus.







To summarize, for the full operation of the system we need:

1. 48 channel mix controller for automation. This device, with the ability to install buspro firmware, work as a gateway to the bus from the Ethernet side and install an iRidium mobile license, has 17 channels of relays, 4 channels of dimmer, 24 dry contacts, connecting door bells and controlling LED loads, which saves a lot of budget project and more than enough to automate an apartment, office, or hotel room.

2. Power supply system

In addition to the power functions, it performs the function of protecting the system against voltage surges and short circuits.

3. Multifunctional 8in1 sensor

Combines 8 elements at once, which allows you to automate the Smart Home system.

4. Keyboard wall control DLP panel

Allows you to manage all elements of the smart home system and displays the status on the DLP screen.

The total cost of this solution is $ 1246.
