Energy efficiency
The Sonos s ys tem and KNX Sonos Gateway help you to use energy more efficiently without los ing any com-
fort. A few examples :
Don't waste heating energy: "Window opened" announcement
If the outs ide temperature and the pos ition of the windows are known to the KNX s ystem, occupants can be
reminded of energy cons umption after a period of time and at regular intervals .
The announcement "The child's room window has been open for a long time" can work wonders . The volume
can als o be increas ed from announcement to announcement in es pecially s tubborn cas es .
Improve power generator use: Integrate generator s
A s olar power s ystem mounted on a roof often s upplies more power than is needed in a home. In s uch cas es,
s urplus energy is fed back into the energy network for minimal compens ation.
In the evening, it's just the oppos ite – Power generated by the PV s ystem decreas es while cons umption for an
electric cooker and televis ion increas es , meaning power mus t be acquired at a higher cos t.
The KNX Sonos-Gateway can help. If the photovoltaic s ystem s ignals a current energy s urplus via KNX, the
following Sonos announcement may be able to make a valuable contribution to environmental protection and
lower your cos ts as well: "Energy s urplus – It would now be a good time for you to s tart the dis hwas her, was h-
ing machine or drier!"
