Theben supplements the current PlanoCentro product family (PlanoCentro and PlanoCentro KNX) with new three-channel presence detectors. The Theben PlanoCentro 201 offers an additional presence channel for energy-efficient HVAC control of classrooms, seminar rooms, offices or hotel rooms, among others. If no one is in the room, the presence detector turns off the light and powers down the heating and ventilation control. The Theben PlanoCentro 300 uses an additional light channel for presence-dependent control of a third light group, for example to light up a whiteboard in classrooms.

Since 02. January 2013 alongside the traditional website, Theben has made a mobile variant for smartphones and tablets available to its customers. Product information, technical data and operating manuals can be quickly and easily accessed at http://m.theben.de/en from the construction site or on the move.
