Enhanced Comfort and Efficiency: Shelly Ecosystem in a Modern 2-Bedroom Flat
Overview
Project Description: This project involves the complete integration of a wide range of Shelly Pro and Blu devices into a standard 2-bedroom apartment. The goal is to create a fully automated and energy-efficient living space, with comfort and convenience for the occupants as a priority.
Scope: A typical 2-bedroom residential apartment.
Goal: To achieve a seamless smart home experience through integrated energy monitoring, appliance control, lighting control, blinds control and climate control through a user-friendly interface that Shelly offers.
Challenges:
Energy Optimization: Reducing the electricity consumption of various electrical appliances and lighting circuits.
Lighting Management: Providing flexible and adaptive lighting solutions through different scenarios.
Blinds Control: Adjusting blinds to allow a certain amount of sunlight into the rooms.
Climate Control: To ensure constant and comfortable temperatures in the different rooms when they are occupied.
Security: Activation of security protocols that simulate presence in the home. When the apartment is intruded, the user is notified by an alarm, the blinds are lowered to make escape more difficult.
User Interface: Provides a user-friendly and intuitive interface to manage all smart home functions.
Precise energy monitoring: Monitoring individual circuits and the total energy consumption in the apartment.
