Operating a digitalSTROM smart home is really easy – no matter how powerful and complex the system is. In addition to the familiar switches on the wall, controlling is done entirely naturally via speech, for example. The home listens to the spoken word and carries out the corresponding actions. However, automation means that sensors are also capable of detecting an occupant’s intentions or needs and controlling appliances. At the same time, we regard it as our responsibility to understand what our customer is about to do – not the other way around.

With our “dS device bots” we provide networked appliances, such as kitchen appliances for example, with access to the most intelligent and best algorithms as well as cognitive services – from image recognition through to recipe libraries. In the digitalSTROM smart home, networked appliances thereby automatically benefit from constantly growing knowledge of the world. All appliances are additionally capable of learning and become ever more intelligent as a result. They are capable of adapting and are able to directly communicate with their users. An end is thereby put to the stupidity of appliances.

Countless new possibilities arise for the occupant through every single networked appliance. But only the interplay with digitalSTROM ensures seamless orchestration and the optimum interplay of all appliances. This guarantees every single user the operating convenience they desire and every occupant the perfect living experience. Additionally, thanks to our decentralised approach every appliance is able to optimise the way it integrates with the interplay. In addition, through the standard appliance behaviour of digitalSTROM we ensure a unique and effective user experience.

digitalSTROM terminals enable occupants to digitise analogue appliances in their home, such as lamps, blinds or light-switches, and network them via the powerline. The switch is given a function extension as a result and, as a learned operating element, becomes an additional, central control element for the entirety of the appliances in the smart home. As a durable and stable infrastructure in the home, the powerline guarantees the future-proofness of a digitalSTROM smart home for customers and partners.

Thanks to the extremely thin and flexible POF conductor from digitalSTROM, supply to every single appliance with up to 1 gigabit is guaranteed in every nook of the home. This way, it is possible to network all appliances in the home safely and easily. Laid behind skirting boards/baseboards or cupboards, networking is performed almost invisibly.

Clear added value will only arise for the occupants of a house once all appliances – no matter whether analogue or digital – can be networked. With digitalSTROM, this is really easy and possible at any time. Analogue appliances become digital and networked through being connected to a digitalSTROM terminal. Appliances that are already digital and networked can be integrated at any time – entirely regardless of what technology and protocol they are based on. This is why every single appliance and hence every appliance manufacturer benefits from being part of the digitalSTROM platform.
