ABB gives customers control of blinds and lights from any mobile device with ABB-free@home flex, a system using Bluetooth connectivity for home control without need for additional wiring.

Users can control the ABB-free@home flex system using the companion ABB-free@home app complete with the management of functions such as blinds or lights. The app also helps with energy consumption, since users can easily switch off the lights when a room is unoccupied. The system is future-proof, and can be upgraded to a full ABB-free@home smart home solution through the integration of a System Access Point.

For further flexibility, timers can set lights to come on at key time. Users can save scenes on the rocker, moving the blinds to a pre-defined position to avoid the glare of the sun in the middle of Summer. For greater control, the app links with movement detectors to program lights to different illumination level depending on the time of day.

“ABB has a clear vision on how innovative technology can create smarter living spaces, and better user experiences," the company says. "The ABB-free@home flex range is an easy way to smarten up any room, that increases comfort levels, as well as helping users to manage their energy use and consumption, which supports our Smart Cities’ Mission to Zero initiative. With demand rising for smarter and more flexible technology options, ABB-free@home flex will put control firmly back in the hands of the consumer, helping them to switch on to energy savings in homes and offices.”

The ABB-free@home flex system launches on October 2020.
