Visiomatic, One Touch Home Automation


German Visiomatic is quite an impressive home automation system. It provides unique functionality to control and monitor your home. Many systems on the market are proprietary systems with restricted capabilities, running on a single bus network. The opposite is true for Visiomatic. The Visiomatic Home System can be integrated in so many ways that it can handle virtually any technology – no matter whether based on hardware or software – as long as it has a standard interface such as RS232/RS485, Infrared, TCP/IP, USB, ISDN, Bluetooth, and many others. Moreover, single terminal units as well as complex bus systems such as EIB, LON, Lutron, ModBus, BatiBus, Powernet, LCN, BACNET, OPC, Domati, ISYGLT and many more can be connected to the Visiomatic Home System. The VisiServer is the heart of the Visiomatic Home System and administrates all server modules. VisiSoft is the intelligent core of the system. The ergonomic user interface of the software enables you to operate intuitively all of the integrated functions without any previous knowledge. The VisiSoft operational structure has been divided into four logically structured main menu points which relate to people and their environment: world, house, room, and person. With one touch you run a number of functions from the technology areas home automation, telecommunications, entertainment electronics and infotainment: turning off the lights in different rooms, activating the alarm system throughout the entire building, turning on the answer phone which is integrated in the system and starting a film in the controlled home cinema. Whether on the premises or on the road, you have everything under control at every moment: alarm system, heating and air conditioning, answer phone, light and window shade controls, telephone, internet and e-mail, DVD player, video intercom, home cinema, traffic congestion reports, world time, stock market news, and weather forecasts. The system can be operated wired or wireless. The VisiPad displays are touch screens, design highlights, operating elements, televisions and telephones, all wrapped up in one device. The Visiomatic Home System works in conjunction with CE-based tablet PCs and PDAs as well as with programmable infrared remote controls. There is support for Bang & Olufsen and Apple iTunes, and so much more.
