Die Schmiede Restaurant
Challenge
Die Schmiede is a small restaurant in the heart of Hanover. Loxone intelligent home and building automation was implemented to give the modern restaurant a special atmosphere. The right lighting and music are especially important when it comes to creating ambience.Solution
To emphasise the special ambience of the restaurant, antique light fixtures were used. These were integrated with DALI actuators that can enable Loxone intelligent control. The base lighting was implemented with LED Spot RGBW lights, which enhance the ambience in the evening with different colour options. A particular advantage for staff is the ability to create and save different lighting scenes. This means that lighting and music change automatically depending on the time of day, without manual intervention from employees. The smooth transition is unobtrusive and doesn’t disrupt the guest experience.The background audio also has a special role in the restaurant. 28 Quadral speakers ensure exceptional sound. These are divided into audio zones to play different music throughout the premises. Outside, the Satellite Speakers ensure perfect sound. The diverse mounting options and the flexible tilt angles due to the movable housing arm ensure that the Satellite Speakers meet the individual requirements of each project.
In addition, the Loxone App offers employees a special added value. It not only allows for control of the lighting and music, but also enables viewing the temperature in the cold storage facility or checking the status of the alarm system.
When the idea of opening a restaurant in Hanover came up, we wanted to make it as modern as possible. Of course we came up with Loxone and brought the experience we had already had with Loxone into here too. We wanted a fully automated restaurant that would relieve the employees of as many tasks as possible.
