Theben selected as champion of innovation

Out with the old, in with the new. That’s the philosophy innovative SMEs like Haigerloch-based Theben AG are adopting as they face the new world in front of them, viewing it as something to embrace rather than fear. It was this spirit that propelled Theben into the 27th edition of Germany’s TOP 100 competition to find the country’s most innovative businesses.

Recently, Theben established a new Platform & Innovations development department with a focus on image processing, sensors, artificial intelligence (AI) and intelligent electricity meters – also known as smart meters. “There’s a lot we can achieve with AI algorithms, especially in the areas of network control and energy management,” explains Schwenk, who is now the fourth generation of his family to manage the company.

Exclusive to Theben: KNX RF flush-mounted actuators with KNX Data Secure

Wireless protocols can be tapped into relatively easily in KNX systems. Currently the only method of its kind, the encryption of Theben KNX RF actuators according to the KNX Data Secure standard effectively prevents interception and tampering with transmitted data – and guarantees maximum data security. Safety first.

Safe as houses: LUXORliving smart home system

The intelligent LUXORliving system from Theben is an all-round excellent choice for anyone who’s looking for a comprehensive security package. The presence simulation feature provides a preventative method of deterring break-in attempts, while the panic function is able to trigger pre-programmed actions. VDE certification ensures that data is kept secure – including data stored on the cloud through servers located in Germany. The central OFF function disconnects devices from the electricity supply, reducing consumption, and the LUXORliving M140 weather station protects awnings and roller blinds in the event of unseasonable weather changes.

Beautifully versatile: theMura wall detectors

Featuring an extensive detection area of 14x7 m, these presence and motion detectors are ideal for energy-efficient lighting control. A variety of functions, including the orientation light, acoustic function and integrated button, provide added convenience for users. theMura can be integrated into standard switch ranges using the optional bezel frame.

Looks great, works great: iON room controller

With Theben iON tactile sensors and room controllers, a wide range of functions in any KNX-based smart building and in the LUXORliving smart home system can be controlled simply by pressing a button – allowing you to switch on and dim lights, raise and lower blinds, control the room temperature, or save and call up individual scenes.
