Lakeside Smart Home Automation with Babcon LLC and Loxone
Smart Home Automation for Lux Living
In the ever-evolving landscape of smart home automation, challenges are inevitable. From integrating various systems to accommodating last-minute changes, every project comes with its own set of hurdles. However, with the right solutions and expertise, these challenges can be turned into opportunities that showcase innovation and efficiency. Babcon LLC specializes in overcoming these challenges and their recent smart home automation project, the Lauren Project, exemplifies their expertise in smart home automation realized through the power of Loxone home automation solutions.
The Challenge: Overcoming Smart Home Integration Complexities
One of the main challenges Babcon LLC faced with the Lauren Project Lakehouse was ensuring seamless integration of various components, including automatic shades, lighting, and interior screens. This integration needed to be not only functional but also intuitive and easy for the homeowner to understand and utilize.
Automatic shades were required to be intelligently and autonomously operated, capable of responding to the potentially rapid ambient temperature changes unique to lake front residences. Additionally, mid-project requests to integrate lighting and interior screens into the home automation system added further complexity to the project. Such deviations from the original plan can be a daunting proposition for even the best home automation integrators.
The Solution: Loxone Smart Home Automation
Fortunately, Babcon LLC possesses a deep understanding of smart home automation and found an ideal solution in Loxone’s home automation systems. Loxone’s comprehensive automation ecosystem provided them with the tools they needed to tackle these challenges effectively.
For the integration of automated interior screens from Somfy, Babcon utilized Loxone’s compatibility with the RS232 via Somfy’s URTSI. This allowed them to easily integrate the smart screens with the Touch Pure Tree‘s temperature reader and the exterior shades using the Nano 2 Relay. By leveraging Loxone’s broad 3rd party integration capabilities, Babcon ensured that all components worked together harmoniously, enhancing both functionality and user experience.
Shedding Some Light on the Situation
Dealing with the lighting presented a separate challenge. Although Loxone was initially proposed for lighting control, the architects opted for their own lighting designer’s suggestion. However, this decision led to complications as there was no existing integration controller – resulting in new wall holes, mismatched switches, and extensive equipment wiring.
Two weeks before completion, the architects announced the decision to utilize a mix of 0-10v LED and 120v LED lights. This could have been a major hurdle, but Babcon LLC had wisely anticipated such last-minute changes and installed extra Loxone Tree and Cat 6 cables for just such an eventuality. This foresight eliminated the need for additional wiring and ensured that this late project change in scope could be handled quickly and easily, without the need to compromise on quality, system integrity or adding extra labor hours.
