According to a press release, digitalStrom received the gold award in the category Excellence in Brand Strategy and Creation – Brand Design – Corporate Brand. The company was also among the winners in the categories Excellent Brands Building and Elements and Excellence in Brand Strategy and Creation – Brand Strategy of the Year.

    DigitalSTROM AG from Schlieren is now also presenting its range of products for the installation of intelligent networking in homes at the Bauarena in Volketswil. According to a media release on Facebook, interested parties can receive individual advice from experts at a so-called Smart Home and experience the latest innovations live. According to its own information, the Bauarena is the largest year-round construction trade fair in Switzerland.

    in a short video on Facebook, digitalSTROM presents a description of how lighting can be controlled and automated via push-button, touchscreen, voice control or with the smartphone app at any time and from anywhere. Lighting, heating and electrical devices can be easily controlled via app. This means: no more getting up to switch the light on or off, no unnecessary electricity costs due to forgotten devices and additional protection for the home thanks to the integrated alarm scenarios, according to digitalSTROM.

    Thanks to the Powerline Communication technology, the networking of devices and home automation takes place via the existing power line, according to a technical description on a special digitalSTROM website. This makes it easy to transform existing and new buildings into smart buildings, so-called smart homes. The solution does not require any structural measures or additional cables, which makes retrofitting easier.

    digitalSTROM launches new product

    digitalSTROM AG from Schlieren is launching a new device for the convenient operation of shadow facilities. According to the press release , electric roller shutters, awnings, blinds and curtains can be opened and closed digitally with the GR-KL300 universal shade clamp. This is done using digitalSTROM commands. These can also be given by a smartphone app. In this way, desired shading positions can be called up from a distance.

    According to the product description , the various types of shading, such as the height of blinds, can be freely configured using software. Several installations can be intelligently networked in the digitalSTROM system via the power line in the house. This makes it possible to control several shading devices in one room or in the entire apartment or house.

    With the GR-KL300, opening and closing can be controlled via a digitalSTROM button and automated if desired. Depending on the time of day, weather conditions or as a simulation of presence, a specific setting can be selected.

    The drive of the blinds or other systems can also be operated directly via buttons without digitalSTROM. The installation automatically recognizes the position of the shading device. And there is a shutdown when overload is indicated. According to digitalSTROM, the new device will be on the market from April 15th.

    According to a press release , digitalSTROM AG from Schlieren will present two innovations at the Light + Building 2022 trade fair. On the one hand, the networking specialist is presenting the integrated solution for access control. According to the announcement, this consists of the fully integrated Smart Video Doorbell and the interactive 10.1″ display, dS-Touch. With the video doorbell, residents can always keep an eye on who is ringing the doorbell. With the dS-Touch display, access control is integrated into the all-in-one solution from digitalSTROM for the first time. This includes fully centralized automation and control of lights, shutters, blinds, heating and ventilation systems and buttons.

    The dS Energy extension, which is also new, enables residents with a photovoltaic system to improve their energy balance. The self-generated energy is thus routed to the boiler or heat pump via an intelligent control system. This will also significantly reduce dependency on the electricity company, according to the statement.

    For the first time since 2018, digitalSTROM will be taking part in the trade fair from October 2nd to 6th in Frankfurt in order to present its range of smart home solutions and innovations to an international audience. “We benefit from the growing dynamics of home automation and the steadily increasing interest in digitalSTROM solutions,” Peter Lambrechts, Executive Chairman at digitalSTROM, is quoted as saying. In the difficult years for the entire industry, his company invested heavily in research and development and was able to present new products and solutions at Light + Building.
