Curious About the Possibilities for Your Garden?

We design and install a custom PLC system tailored seamlessly to your specific requirements.

With a custom professional PLC control system, you transform your home into a smart, secure, and energy-efficient living environment. Unlike standard home automation, choosing a PLC system guarantees industrial-grade reliability: a solution that always keeps running, is easy to expand, and can be managed seamlessly from anywhere.

Here are the primary applications we can automate in and around your home:

1. Heating, Cooling & Climate Control

Keep the temperature in every room perfectly balanced without wasting energy.

• Zone Control: Heat or cool only the rooms that are actually in use.
• Remote Management: Turn on the heating while heading to your primary or second home, ensuring you arrive in a warm and comfortable environment.

2. Smart Lighting & Ambience

Lighting that adapts to your daily routine, presence, and personal preferences.

• Light Scenes: Switch to the ideal mood for cooking, relaxing, or working with a single press of a button (or via your smartphone).
• All-Off Button: Turn off all unnecessary lighting and switched sockets in one simple action when leaving the house or going to bed.
• Presence Simulation: When you are away or on vacation, lighting automatically switches on and off at logical times to deter intruders.

3. Access Control, Shutters & Security

Maximum security and optimal management, even when you are not there yourself.

• Smart Access for Guests & Rentals: Open gates or doors remotely, or provide temporary access codes for tenants, cleaning services, or technicians.
• Automated Shutters & Screens: Roller shutters that close automatically at sunset or during extreme heat to keep your home cool.
• Alarm & Sensor Integration: Receive instant notifications upon motion detection, an opened door, or an alarm trigger.

4. Energy Management & Smart Outlets

Lower your energy bills through intelligent power consumption.

• Peak Power Optimization: The system automatically schedules heavy appliances (such as the dryer or EV charger) when electricity is cheapest or when your solar panels generate surplus power.
• Safety via Central Cut-Off: Automatically disconnect power to high-risk appliances (like irons or ovens) when the alarm system is activated or when nobody is home.

5. Alerts & Safety Sensors

Prevent water or fire damage through fast, automated interventions.

• Leakage & Smoke Detection: In the event of a water leak, the PLC automatically shuts off the main water supply and sends an immediate alert to your smartphone.
• Home Status Monitoring: Check at a glance whether all doors are closed, the heating is set to eco-mode, and all appliances are safely powered down.

Perfect for Second Homes & Vacation Rentals

Do you manage a second residence or rent out a vacation property? You can set temperature limits, monitor whether lights are left on unnecessarily, and seamlessly manage access for incoming guests.

Curious About the Possibilities for Your Home?

We design and install a reliable PLC system tailored exactly to your lifestyle and requirements.

A traditional timer runs your pool pump at fixed hours. While that works, it takes zero account of actual pool usage or water quality. The result? Excessive energy bills, unnecessary wear and tear on your equipment, and ongoing manual effort to balance the water.

Smart PLC pool automation takes your pool to a whole new level. It replaces “dumb” time intervals with an intelligent system that actively adapts to real-time conditions.

1. Massive Energy Savings (Cut Power Costs)

A standard timer runs the pump at full speed regardless of whether the pool is being used or not.

• With PLC Automation: The system automatically adjusts pump speed and runtime. It filters more intensely when people are present and activates heating only when needed. All of this can be triggered with a single tap on your smartphone from anywhere in the world — saving hundreds of euros per year on your electricity bill.

2. Always Crystal-Clear & Healthy Water

A timer cannot measure water quality. If the pH balance or chlorine levels drop, you end up with algae or green water — even if the pump ran right on schedule.

• With PLC Automation: Continuous automated measurement and dosing of pH and chlorine/salt levels. The system injects precisely what is needed, completely eliminating the need for manual water testing.

3. Perfect Integration with Heating & Solar Panels

Are you heating your pool with a heat pump, or do you have solar panels? A traditional timer has no idea when the sun is shining.

With PLC Automation: Your pool is intelligently heated when your solar panels generate surplus power or when ambient outdoor temperatures are highest, ensuring the most efficient and cost-effective heating possible.

Effortless Management
The management of your entire automation system is designed with one central goal: maximum ease of use. You never have to pore over complicated manuals or deal with dozens of separate remote controls..

📱 Central Touchscreen

The entire system is controlled via a clear and intuitive touchscreen installed at a central location in your home or commercial building. All schedules and settings can easily be configured and adjusted directly on the touchscreen.

🎛️ 3 Intuitive Operating Modes

To adapt the system to any situation, you can easily switch between three clear settings:

1. Manual Mode

Complete, detailed control. You can individually turn any component (such as a specific lighting zone, irrigation, or the pool system) on or off manually. Ideal when you want to make immediate adjustments or perform maintenance.

2. Fully Automatic Mode

Maximum peace of mind and effortless comfort. The system manages everything independently based on time schedules, sensors, and the built-in dusk-to-dawn sensor (day/night detection). Your lighting, irrigation, and controls react automatically to falling darkness and real-time conditions.

3. Automatic Mode (Without Dusk Sensor)

Smart automation based on fixed times or parameters. The system runs all automated schedules and timers while bypassing the dusk sensor. This is extremely useful during specific seasons, for rental properties, or when you want lighting and equipment to react strictly to clock time regardless of ambient outdoor light.
