control and supervision

The world of building control speaks KNX: approved as an international, European and Chinese standard, it has millions of successful installations and is open to the future. The KNX mark guarantees the interoperability of the products independently of the constructor and the particular application. Lighting, Venetian blinds and roller shutters, safety systems, energy management, HVAC systems, monitoring systems, remote control, accounting, audio/video control and household

appliances: it can all be managed, controlled, monitored and signalled with a single system, without any additional control panels. Connecting all the devices with a single Bus considerably reduces the time for design, installation and, thanks to the ETS software, configuration too. With the advantage of exceptional flexibility and adaptability of the system to future developments through a simple connection of the new components and applications to the existing Bus.

Standard: the most secure connection to coordinate all the functions.

Well-contact Plus is aesthetically coordinated with the three Vimar residen-tial series: Eikon, innovative design and premium materials, Idea a classic with the greatest freedom of choice and Plana an element of pure essentials. Three icons of Italian style characterized by an incomparable depth of range.

Temperature control for each room is managed with ther-mostats developed to the KNX standard. Savings are assured thanks to the supervision of the Well-contact Suite software, which enables control with-out having to enter every room.

The transponder card read-ers permit only the allowed accesses. The reader with a vertical pocket, positioned in the room, activates users and scenes, which can also be man-aged with the touch screen that elegantly replaces the buttons.

Automation for buildingsGeneral characteristics

(courtesy lights, etc.), room service calls, alarms (ceiling pull, etc.) and energy savings (turning off the heating/air-conditioning after detecting an open window, etc.).

The range of products is completed by a DIN rail input/output device able to manage 4 inputs and 4 outputs, all freely programmable, that can be associated with additional services such as, for example, controlled sockets, room indicators, alarms and scenes that enable the various users depending on who enters the room (guest, service personnel, maintenance engineer, etc.); everything will obviously always be supervised by reception that, thanks to the Well-contact Suite software, entirely developed by Vimar, will have control over all the events linked to the guest’s “history” for the entire duration of her stay.

The functions that each device must perform are programmed with the ETS software; in other words, a project is created in which each room is composed of a certain number of components, each of which is assigned operational parameters.

It will therefore be possible to choose, for instance, whether a relay must work in one-position stable, two-position stable, NC or NO mode or the type of thermostat temperature control (proportional integral, ON/OFF, etc.) or set up an input to recognize signal fronts, cyclical repetitions, etc..

ETS also enables Well-contact Plus devices to interact with other KNX appliances not supplied by Vimar, not only to make the system suitable for the widest range of applications, but also to be able to supplement it with existing devices (renovations).

The main competitive characteristics of the Well-contact Plus system can be summarized as follows: •nocentralized intelligent room module is necessary; • all the functions and “intelligence” of the system are

distributed over the various appliances; • the flushmounting devices that must be installed in the

room are equipped with free inputs and relay outputs that reduce the need for additional terminals;

• thesystem isextremely flexible thanks to the modularity of the range and its potential for easy, low-cost expansion to meet future needs;

• extremely simple, flexible system management software that also allows interfacing with the most widely used administrative software.

Field of applicationThe Well-contact Plus system, in the hotel and tertiary sector, enables making centralized management systems that allow integrating and supervising many functions and services efficiently guaranteeing simplicity of use by the personnel in charge.

Hotels and more in general hospitality facilities require systems for optimized and effective management of their services that simplify daily operation and, as far as possible, reduce running costs, optimizing energy savings and guaranteeing a high level of comfort for their guests.

The devices of the Well-contact Plus system, developed to KNX standard technology and aesthetically coordinated with the series of Eikon, Idea and Plana, offer technical solutions featuring outstanding efficiency, perfectly meeting all the most varied installation requirements and the constraints imposed by the different structures such as hotels, offices, shopping malls and the advanced tertiary sector in general.

Main characteristicsBeing based completely on KNX technology, each device is able to perform the required functions directly; each component has resident intelligence enabling direct dialogue with all the devices in the network. The KNX standard was developed to create decentralized systems where the interchange of signals and commands takes place exclusively at the level of operational devices: that is each component is able to process the data independently and transmit and/or detect signals directly on the system Bus. In short, therefore, each structure and each application can assign the priorities that it deems necessary without having to accept “take it or leave it” solutions and in any case without jeopardizing the possibility of a future implementation to extend the system’s functions.

Thanks to Well-contact Plus, each hospitality facility can select the most suitable solution, “customizing” it and ensuring the flexibility that only the common European protocol (KNX) can provide in terms of interoperability of devices and secure installation.

The single devices such as the external transponder reader, the reader with a pocket and the thermostat, besides the typical functions of card recognition and electrical lock opening, service activation and temperature control respectively, have freely programmable inputs and outputs that make the system really flexible. These inputs/outputs can be used to control sockets

Well-contact Plus system general diagram

System configuration

Up to three couplers can be connected to each line as repeaters, each one of which manages a segment of up to 64 devices with their power supplies for a maximum of 255 devices. The Bus line can be connected in different configurations (star, tree, etc.); the maximum length in any case must not exceed 1000 m.

Lines can be connected together with the 01504 couplers; it is possible to connect up to 15 lines on a single backbone, which is itself simply a line formed by all the couplers and the devices. This new element is called a field or area; the system can manage up to 15 fields and this represents the maximum expansion of the system.

System architectureThe Well-contact Plus system uses a twisted pair cable as the means of transmission; using the Bus line not only simplifies installation/maintenance, but also ensures a high level of immunity from interference. Information is exchanged between the devices in “telegrams” composed of a set of bits whose combinations encode the transmitted information.

For the purposes of the application functions, the most important information transmitted by each device is the following: •therecipientaddressfieldindicatingthedevicestoreceivethe

message; •the field containing the information related to the actual

function that the device must perform; •thesender’saddress indicating thedevice thathassent the

message.

Each device has a specific “physical” address that identifies it uniquely in the system and therefore there can be no identical physical addresses. As regards the recipient address, under normal operational conditions, this is always a group address; the group addresses make “logical wiring” among different components and it is therefore possible to establish functional correlations (even very complex ones) among the various devices.

Modifying the group addresses with the special ETS configuration software changes the functions of the devices (for instance associations between inputs and outputs) without making any changes to the system wiring. The basic component of the system is the line segment; this is also the starting point for expanding the system up to the maximum possible configuration in terms of devices and shared functions. Each line segment can be composed of up to 64 devices (readers, thermostats, I/O devices, etc.) and needs one or two power supplies depending on the number of components; this is because each device powered at 24 V d.c. has limits on its current absorption (10 mA). If two power supplies are used, they must be set apart at a distance of no less than 200 m. The maximum distance between a device and the power unit on the same line must not exceed 350 m.The maximum distance between two devices on the same line must not exceed 700 m.

General characteristics

whether a line can be considered as a floor or whether a line can cover a number of floors or, vice versa, whether the property is so large that covering a floor requires a number of lines (therefore, at the design stage, take account of the characteristics of a line in terms of number of devices and distances);

• the number of lines forming the system will determine the number of couplers that must be installed (the lines are con-nected together by line couplers that allow communication between devices belonging to different lines);

• atthe design stage, always try and bring each type of system into line with the diagram in the figure on page 857; this is to determine the correct position of the various devices within the system.

The installation examples (from page 902) give the layouts illustrating part of a typical hotel system; all the devices given in the examples are summarised in the general structure of the Well-contact Plus system (see the above table). The ground floor is composed of: reception, dining hall, administrative office, conference hall, technical room and store, while on the other floors there are the guest rooms. In each room on the first floor, the following items are installed: • an external transponder reader to access the room and

display the messages via the 4 front LEDs; • a reader with a pocket to activate the associated loads

(services); • a thermostat to control the temperature set-point; • a control with four independent push buttons for “do not

disturb”, “room service call” and “lights control” functions; In the suites, in place of the scenes with four independent push buttons, two 3-module touch screens are installed to manage lights, climate and any scenes.

The transponder readers are additionally used to distinguish between accesses to the offices and to the other places (store, technical room, etc.) located on the ground floor; this highlights how the Well-contact Plus system can easily be used in both hotels and the tertiary sector.

Example of system composition When creating an installation with the Well-contact Plus system the following components are used: • Powersupplies• Linecoupler• Transponder card reader• Transpondercard reader with pocket• Thermostat• Colour touch screen 4,3”• 3-module monochrome touch screen• Control with 4 independent push buttons• Transponder card reader/programmer• Input/output device• USBinterface

Preparing the system It is important, in the phase of preparing the system, to have a clear idea of which functions and applications are to be created and obviously this will depend on the type and complexity of the property where the installation is to be made. The system is composed of a range of 8 types of devices; it will be in the configuration phase with ETS where you assign the “task” that each of these devices must perform, which will be the input/output associations and the services to control.

As regards the actual preparation of the system and therefore laying out the cables and positioning the devices, it will be enough to take into account the characteristics given in the above table, observing the following precautions: • addupthepower inputs of the single devices (that must be

Automation for buildingsConfiguration software

ETS Software For the design, configuration of the various appliances and the commissioning of the system, installers have the ETS software (Engineering Tools Software), marketed by KNX Association. Using a PC and the ETS software, you address the different devices operating in the system and establish the related functional correlations (or group addresses). Establishing the functional correlations means using software to define how each device must intervene following the events occurring in the system, for instance which lamp or group of loads must switch on when a card is inserted in the reader with a pocket or a particular switch is pressed. The operating mode of KNX appliances is also determined by the application program selected from among the available ones for that device and by the appropriate configuration of the related operating parameters.

The application programs of Vimar KNX devices are freely available on the company’s website www.vimar.eu. The addresses and operating parameters are transferred to the various devices by connecting the PC to the KNX Bus via the KNX USB interface 01540. The ETS software utilizes simple graphical user interfaces that facilitate device configuration also in relation to the building’s layout.

Supervision and control at a higher level As already mentioned the KNX distributed intelligence systems also enable supervision and control at a higher level (centralized). Use of PCs and special software enables centralizing the system’s functions, but in no way does it jeopardize their operation if the PC is switched off or malfunctions.

1. Definition of physical addresses, functional correlations and operational parameters for the various system devices.

2. Transfer of addresses and parameters to the appliances.

3. At the end of the operations the PC can be removed, to be, if necessary, reconnected only for functions of diagnostics, changes to the parameters, addresses and functional or expansional correlations of the system.

Configuration phases

Note.In a Well-contact Suite system, when using the ETS project, there must be no groups with the same name: for example it will be necessary to distinguish between “power room 101” and “power room 102.” ETS project creation respecting this

clause will enable the Well-contact Suite software to distinguish automatically between the group addresses it must display and the ones it must mask for each room, considerably facilitating the task of room creation with Well-contact Suite.

Depending on the functions to be implemented, therefore, the most appropriate choices can be made to optimize the costs that the client will have to sustain.

Solutions for the Tertiary SectorThe versatility of these components and the Vimar WCS Office and WCS Office Client software enables flexible management of tertiary sector applications and particularly productions within the framework of office buildings; similar in use, the requirements in office buildings/blocks adhere perfectly to the functions performed by the Vimar components with the KNX standard. Thanks to the peculiarities of the KNX standard it is possible to expand the system at any time with devices already present on the market able to satisfy even the most sophisticated and specific applications, such as for instance controlling the opening of a passage, complete management of lights and temperature, programmable also by floor, side of exposure or single office. The system applications can therefore be the most varied; from access diversification to customizing each single office with the generation of cards that also allows access to common rooms such as, for instance, general entrances, canteens/restaurants, reserved lounges, conference rooms, etc., all using the transponder reader. With the aid of the pocket reader it will then also be possible, in all those rooms not normally controlled by time programs or motion detectors, to manage the lighting or temperature (energy savings).

The topic of lighting in offices is by now the subject of specific design studies; switching on lamps not only with a manual control but also with programs linked to time or to the side of exposure to sunlight enables significant energy savings; with the input/output devices it is possible, for instance, to connect light sensors capable of detecting the degree of brightness and switch lights on and off in a differentiated manner according to the set threshold value. With these same devices it is also possible to transmit status or alarm signals from auxiliary contacts or remote sensors that can be displayed both on the readers and on the monitoring PC (if applicable). Lastly, as regards temperature control, in modern office buildings the possibility of switching on the heating or air-conditioning in a differentiated manner has become an increasingly requested comfort requirement especially for the savings provided in terms of energy optimization; all of this can be performed by suitably programming the thermostats of the Well-contact Plus system.

Well-contact Suite SoftwareWell-contact Suite (WCS) is a family of software products (WCS Basic, WCS Top, WCS Client, WCS Office, WCS Client Office and WCS Management) that enables managing/supervising the entire system with operations of check-in, room status, events memory, alarm control, temperature control, guest file, etc.. The following chart gives the functions of the Suite.

Transponder card readers for outside the roomThe device, with transponder cards, enables controlling entry to the rooms where it is installed externally. The transponder reader has two relays to control the door lock, a courtesy light, or for other uses; the device is moreover equipped with two inputs for connecting electrical equipment of the ON/OFF type (for instance to control the door open or closed switch, a magnetic contact for signalling an open or closed window, bathroom ceiling pull-cord alarm, etc.).On the front of the reader there are four LEDs each of which associated with an icon for signalling the following states: • access (entry allowed or entry denied); • guest status (room occupied or do not disturb); • call status (rescue request with bathroom ceiling pull-cord,

room service call, etc.); • services status (make up room, etc.). The transponder reader is able to dialogue with other KNX devices.

Technical specifications• Bussupply voltage: 30 V d.c. SELV• auxiliarysupply voltage: 12-24 V ± 20% SELV• absorption: 10 mA on the Bus; max 130 mA on the

supplementary power supply 12-24 V• terminals: -KNXTP Bus - supplementary power supply (12-24 V ) - digital inputs for 2 NO or NC contacts (with no

potential, SELV) - outputs for 2 relays NO (24 V~ SELV 4 A

cos 1; 24 V~ SELV 2 A cos 0.6)•maximum distance of the input contact from the device: 30 m

with twisted cable• this device contains only SELV circuits that must be kept

separate from circuits with dangerous voltage• operating temperature: -5 °C - +45 °C (for indoor use)

OperationThe configuration of the reader, physical address and parameters (NO or NC contact inputs, one-, two-position stable or timed relay outputs, etc.) is done with the ETS software. If the transponder reader is loaded with an incorrect ETS application, both the red LED on the back of the device and the front LEDs 2, 3 and 4 will blink (“device type” error). To restore the desired configuration, load the device with the correct ETS application.The card is read by putting it in front of the reader that in sequence checks: • “systemcode” (whether consistent);• “date and time” field (if enabled, it checks whether the validity has

expired);•“password” (checks all the codes associated with it and

enabled, such as guest code, service code, timeframes).

With ETS it is possible to set the following parameters (can be selected directly from the graphic windows):• card information;• device configuration;• general settings;• configuration of channels;• inputsAand B;• outputsAand B.

Conformity to StandardsR&TTE DirectiveStandards EN 50090-2-2, EN 50428, EN 300 330-2, EN 301 489-3

LED STATUSLED 1:- steady green: signalling “Entry allowed” (the LED remains illuminated for

approximately 3 s). - blinking green: signalling if the timeframe is not valid (the LED blinks for

approximately 3 s). - steady red: signalling “Entry denied” (the LED remains illuminated for

approximately 3 s).- blinking red: signalling if the expiry date is not valid. - steady amber: signalling if the system coding is not valid- blinking amber: signalling if the day of the week is not valid.- blinking red/green: synchronize the device’s internal clock.LED 2: - red: signalling “Do not disturb.” - blinking red: signalling “Room occupied.” LED 3: amber - signalling “Room service call.” LED 4: green - signalling “Make up room.”

Note.The meaning taken on by the LEDs 2, 3 and 4 depends on the subjects of communication (therefore the functions) that are configured in the reader with the ETS software. For all the applications in which the device is configured with different functions and LED indications to the standard ones, the customer can ask Vimar to customize the symbols on the front of the reader with a laser.

Front view Transponder card reader/programmer with vertical pocket in table mounting box The device enables programming and coding the transponder cards to use with the readers 20457, 16927, 14457 and the pockets 20453, 16923 and 14453 (in the respective colour variations). The reader/programmer must be connected to a personal com-puter on which the Well-contact Suite software must be installed for creating and managing the necessary data for the configura-tion of the cards according to the different requirements. The device is equipped with a cable for connecting the USB port of the PC and a backlit pocket for signalling card reading/writing. It is installable in table mounting box and needs no driver.

Technical specifications• power supply: from USB port (5 V d.c.)• consumption: 130 mA• connection: USB 1.1 or higher cable for connection to PC • this device contains only SELV circuits that must be kept

separate from circuits with dangerous voltage • operatingtemperature: -5 °C - +45 °C (for indoor use)• not compatible with the old Well-contact system

NoteThe device is supplied by the PC via the USB port; therefore, in the phase of sizing the system (number of necessary power supplies), you must not take account of the consumption of the device.

OperationProgramming takes place by inserting the transponder card (that can be blank or already used previously) into the reader pocket after having selected the writing command with the PC software. If, 30 s after the command, no card is inserted into the pocket, the programming command is cancelled and the PC is sent a message telling it that the device is awaiting data. The cards are read in a similar manner; the card is inserted into the pocket of the device that will read the saved data (codes, passwords, etc.) and will transmit them to the PC. The reader/programmer enables programming and/or reading the following data: • “Systemcode” (that identifies the installation or the name of

the hotel or the site where the system is installed); • “Password” (of the client or service); • “Dateand time” (day/month/year).

Electronic thermostatThis device is suited to control room temperature (heating and air-conditioning); a number of thermostats can be connected together and can be monitored by PC (in the reception or the technical room). The thermostat is equipped with an ON/OFF input that can be used for applications such as, for instance, detecting an open window or for other general uses. In addi-tion, there is a relay output that can be used to control a generic solenoid valve or as a speed control for a fan-coil. The device is equipped with a display and four front buttons to control the temperature set-point and the speed of the fan-coil.

Technical specifications• supplyvoltage: Bus 30 V d.c. SELV• absorption:10 mA• terminals: - KNX TP Bus - digital input for NO or NC contact (with no potential, SELV) - relay output NO (24 V~ SELV 4 A cos 1; 24 V~ SELV 2 A

cos 0.6)•maximumdistance of the input contact from the device: 30 m

with twisted cable• reading accuracy: ±0.5 °C between 15 °C and 30 °C ±0.8 °C at the extremes• this device contains only SELV circuits that must be kept


ConfigurationThe configuration of the thermostat, physical address, parameters, its operation, etc., is done with the ETS software.If the thermostat is loaded with an incorrect ETS application, the red LED on the back of the device will flash and all the LCD segments will blink on the display (“device type” error). To restore the desired configuration, load the device with the correct ETS application. With the front buttons, the user can modify the temperature set-point and the speed of the fan-coil; changing these parameters forces the thermostat onto manual operation.

With ETS it is possible to set the following parameters (can be selected directly from the graphic windows): • generalsettings; • temperaturesensor;• temperature setpoint; • setpoint temperature; • input and output;• adjustment;• valve;• fan-coilspeed;• scenes.

OperationUsing the thermostat it is possible to set: •thetemperature set-point in the room (the change can only be

made within certain limits set by the control centre or recep-tion, etc.);

•thespeedof the fan-coil. To change the temperature press the + or - button twice: •on pressing it the first time the display will show the currently

set temperature; •onpressing it the second time the increase/decrease in the

displayed value will begin.

01528 - Dimmer 1-10 VThe dimmer is used to control and adjust the brightness of light circuits via the KNX Bus. The device has 2 independent channels; for each channel there is a ground potential contact to control the power circuits. Together with the light sensor 01530, the appli-ance can be used as a constant brightness dimmer. The dimmer can be connected with up to 2 light sensors. The dimming tel-egrams are converted into 0…10 V signals corresponding to the brightness 0…100%. Art. 01528 works passively, that is the out-puts 1…10 V behave as controlled resistors and the connected electronic ballasts (EVG) provide the current. Except for the KNX Bus voltage, the dimmer requires no external power supply; the rated value for the dimmer can be set separately for each channel or as a MASTER/SLAVE combination.

Well-contact Suite Software (WCS)To manage and supervise the Well-contact Plus system, Vimar has created a family of software products to try and satisfy the requests of the different types of systems of its customers. The following table lists the six types of application.

Basic: to manage a structure with up to 50 rooms from a single station. Thanks to 5 password levels, control can be customized: the manager of the structure, for example, can access the complete system to supervise, edit the parameters and program the functions, while the receptionist with another password will only access some of these operations.

Top: to control large hotel structures with a potentially limitless number of rooms and stations. This application has 7 password levels and makes it possible to use the planner for supervising arrivals and departures.

Client: application licence enabling you to manage the Basic and Top systems from a limitless number of stations.

Office: dedicated to offices and business structures, it enables managing the functions of a potentially limitless number of rooms from one station. With 7 password levels, control can be targeted and secure.

Client Office: Office application licence enabling access to the program from any number of stations.

Management: for interfacing with administration management software

ApplicationsThe WCS software is used to carry out the following operations:•managementofbookings (hotel version);•managementof the user records; •management of structure personnel records;•managementof access by users and personnel to the various

rooms in the structure: creation of the cards for the access control system, management of the transponder readers of the part of the system that deals with access control, creation of lists with access log;

• supervision of the automation system: climate control, activation of electric loads (lights on/off, dimmer lights, relays), access control management, alarm management, creation of scenes, scheduling activation of scenes, reaction of decisional logic elements.

As regards managing security when using the Well-contact Suite software, the strategies implemented in the software are listed here: • access to the software allowed only for users previously

configured in the software; • seven levelsofsoftware access “privileges” to be associated

with the software users;• encrypted data communication between the system file server

and client systems; • encrypted “sensitive” data (e.g. software user password);• encrypted data communication between the system and the

card programmer;• useofMifare® Standard cards.

The main characteristic of the Well-contact Suite software is to automatically create graphic windows in the supervision section. These windows show all the rooms in the hospitality facility with graphic symbols representing the main functions of the automation system devices in the rooms. The rooms are divided according to their use: rooms, common areas, technical areas. For each type of room there are one or more of the following “theme views.” A theme view is a representation of the room highlighting a particular function of the devices in the room. The “theme views” envisaged in the Well-contact Suite software comprise: • the“thermostats”view;• the“Guestin room” view;• the“windows opening status” view;• the“roomcleaning status” view.

Besides the theme views, a “summary view” is created automatically, in which the room’s main data are shown.

Besides the above-mentioned views, the Well-contact Suite software automatically creates a window with the “detail” view of the room, in which the graphic symbols of the room’s main functions are included; the type of functions automatically presented in the detail view of the room and the related characteristics can be customized according to the particular requirements of the user. In any case, the supervision windows created automatically by the Well-contact Suite software can be customized to collect the user’s requests.

The Well-contact Suite software enables viewing the alarm events created by the Well-contact Plus system to send an alarm “reset” command to the system and create a log for these events. It is lastly possible to define different types of alarm together with the related display priorities.

The following examples give some types of hotel and tertiary sector systems; depending on the functions to be implemented, it is necessary to choose not only the devices but above all how these must be configured.

In the case of a hotel room the guest, by putting the card into the transponder reader, enters the room; the device, after recognizing the card, activates the main light in the room and the bed-head courtesy light (example of a scene) that then will also be able to be commanded by the single buttons. Subsequently the guest inserts the card into the pocket reader; lastly, when the guest leaves the room, he takes out the card and, after a set time, all the loads are switched off. In the room and the suite in the examples, different functions have been implemented according to the required level of comfort.

Room Required functions: check-in /check-out.Room status indicators on the external transponder reader:•Guestinroom;•Roomoccupiedor “do not disturb”;• Room to make up;•Card recognition indicator;5 input indicators: wc/bathroom call, room service call, win-dow contact, “do not disturb”, room main light control. 5 output relays: electrical lock opening, courtesy light, load disconnection, room main light, climate control ON/OFF sole-noid valve command.3 necessary components: external transponder card reader, internal transponder pocket reader, electronic thermostat.

In particular, it will be possible to differentiate different solutions for the common areas in order to manage the services offered to guests in a differentiated manner. By using the dedicated transponder reader it will be possible to control access to particular services such as for instance the swimming pool, sauna, spa and car parks, with the possibility of accounting them thanks to the interfacing between the Well-contact Suite management/supervision software and the management/administration software. The lights and roller shutters are managed with the 4-button controls or the touch screen. The methods of managing the temperature for the Halls or for the common areas will be set at the time of programming; using the thermostat connected directly to the Bus will enable measuring the temperature in a certain area and, with the output on the thermostat, you can control the solenoid valve or the fan convectors for the heating and air-conditioning.

Hotel common areas Managing the common areas in hotel structures is extremely important both because it allows complete supervision along with flexible convenient use of all the services provided by the structure and because from a commercial point of view it has a considerable impact on the guest. Checking entries, allowing entry only for authorized vehicles or, in places not normally manned, activating lights and generic controls and receiving any type of signalling increases the value perceived by the guest and at the same time offers advantages for the management personnel from an operational point of view. Using the new devices integrated in the Well-contact Plus system with the KNX standard, it is possible to manage all the environments, fully optimizing the work of the personnel and contributing significantly to the safety and control of the whole building.
