MyHOME radio system:

for simple and flexible home automation systems
The MyHOME radio system gives the possibility of very Thanks to the radio transmission and the battery
easily creating advanced electric systems to manage: powering of controls, the devices easily integrate with the
„„Lighting; infrastructure of the traditional electric system, without the
„„The automation of lights and shutters; need for any additional wiring.
„„The protection of the home from gas leaks and The use of the ZigBee® technology for the communication
flooding. of devices makes it possible to use the MyHOME system
also in large spaces with obstacles and partition walls.
