Almdorf St. Johann
The combination makes the difference: Flexible and individually usable room control meets high-quality equipment. What’s the result? It’s the new, luxury lifestyle chalet village in St. Johann/Pongau opened in 2014. The exclusive alpine village ideally combines tradition and modern spirit – charming flair in huts but with a Smart-Building solution which is optimally tuned to the needs of recreation-seeking guests. Here our u::Lux Switch shows its various possibilities for creative room control! It particularly scores with user-friendliness and visual elegance and it blends harmoniously into the overall concept of the eleven enchanting chalets.
Heating, whirlpool control, sauna control, Sonos control, WLAN control, TV-lift control, status displays etc.
Our implementation partner Anton Höllwart from Bro-Systems OG is impressed by the many possibilities which the u::Lux Switch offered already during the planning and implementation phase:
“For us, using the u::Lux Switch was crucial for the success of the project – because the u::Lux Switch was the decisive factor that the project could be implemented in a way as it was planned from the beginning on.”
“The individual programming of the u::Lux Switch allows the realization of every possible situation.”
“Currently there is no equivalent counterpart available on the market.”
“Actually, I don’t know what the switch can NOT do!”
“The compact design is great!”
"In my opinion the slogan should not be ,We have taught the switch to think.' It should rather be: ,The switch will teach you to think!”"
Eisai China Inc.
A highly modern office building was constructed in Suzhou (China) for the well-known pharmaceutical company Eisai China Inc. Regarding the technical building equipment the decision was made in favour of proven KNX technology in combination with u::Lux. Lighting, shading, air condition and scenes are controlled through the u::Lux devices. The switches are also used to display the CO2 content, temperature and air humidity values.

"We are impressed by the design and function of this ALL IN ONE operating unit."
"The u::Lux Switch is easy to operate."
"Everything works perfectly."
"We are entirely satisfied with this solution."
Internorm International GmbH
Internorm, a famous and well known window brand, is one of the largest international window manufacturers in Europe and one of the biggest innovative companies in Austria. For the renovation of the existing office building and construction of a new building at the company’s headquarters in Traun, Upper Austria, the latest energy concepts were combined into an overall solution with state-of-the-art office architecture and intelligent building automation. The decision was made in favor of the currently most innovative room control and display unit, the u::Lux Switch, which runs in this project in cooperation with a Beckhoff control.

"u::Lux is a room control unit, which on the one hand is visually appealing and, above all, it’s able to convince with ideal handling" , according to Mag. Anette Klinger (Internorm co owner).
"I was surprised, that there is indeed a company, which doesn’t only communicate the idea of innovation through promotion, it actually lives it", tells Ing. Gerald Weixlbaum(project manager at ABM).
"We really appreciate the multifunctionality of the room control unit, the self-explanatory operation and also the free layouts", said Mario Winter (facility manager at Internorm).
"The several layers which can be freely configured impress me the most in the complete solution", said Mario Winter (facility manager at Internorm).
"One of the greatest benefits is, that rooms can be controlled by adapted users room profiles", said Mario Winter (facilitymManager at Internorm).
"This is exactly the flexibility which we were looking for in the field of automation ... and this is definitely what we need for future buildings", said Ing. Gerald Weixlbaum (project manager at ABM).
Two-family house with yodeling u::Lux Switch
"Hollarohdulljoh!"... a cheerful yodel guarantees laughing attacks among a family in Bavaria: They use the u::Lux Switch as kitchen timer – very nice idea. https://youtu.be/r2izPHvN608
But a yodel seldom comes alone. This is why our implementing partner Livingtec from Fürstenfeldbruck installed six other u::Lux Switches in the extended two-family house. Independently of one another the switches operate the Sonos audio system, shading, lighting and heating.

"It's great to control everything separately and independently from each other."
"Sought and found: ONE switch for several functions!"
"The u::Lux Switch is versatile and offers unlimited possibilities."
"The u::Lux Switch as kitchen timer with yodel sound is particularly funny."
"It was important for us that the u::Lux Switches are individually programmable."
Ferd Scheepers
Mr. Scheepers wants his semi-detached house slowly being automated with his own developed home automation solution. He has developed his home grown solution in JavaScript, running under node.js. The system is operating on a XenxServer, 11 vms of which one is running all the domotica stuff. The communication between all components is done via MQTT. Also a Vera Mios is connected, handling the Z-Wave devices.
Controlling of lights, the Sonos system, cameras, the heating (incl. measuring temperature), the server (uptime, UPS-status, etc) and the blinds.
"The sexy look and the ability to control all from one place were convincing!"
"I'm impressed by the ability to integrate the switch well into my solution."
"I managed to fully integrate all, including video, in less than 20 hours."
Münzing Chemie GmbH
For the Münzing Chemie GmbH, a highly regarded, privately owned specialty additive company, a new administration and technology building was constructed at the headquarters in Abstatt, Germany. The semi-circular and architecturally demanding building consists of 2 floors with full basement covering a total area of approx. 7000 square metres. For the implementation of the entire building automation in the field of heating/cooling, interior ventilation technology and sun-protection installations a smart building solution with u::Lux, combined with a Beckhoff-CX5020 control, was chosen.
Shading, window operators, room temperature, light, presence, "mini-control technology" - display of laboratory climate values / alarm messages / switching of laboratory instruments, etc.
"A clear advantage is the great versatility of the u::Lux Switch!"
"Convincing price/performance ratio in comparison with conventional room control units, despite the little higher engineering work!"
"It's a great possibility to give feedback to the user (acoustically and visually). e.g. displaying information and fault messages/wind alarm etc."
Gebrüder Weiss Gesellschaft m.b.H. Transport und Logistik
Gebrüder Weiss is one of the leading transport and logistics companies in Europe. For the modernization and renovation of the four-storey building a smart building solution with u::Lux, combined with a Beckhoff control, was implemented.
individual room control with fan coil units, control of the operating modes "Comfort", "Economy-Night" and "Protective Mode", actual temperature display, set temperature adjustment, step circuit Geko
"The decision in favor of u::Lux was made because it’s a freely configurable room control unit which can be adapted to the needs of the project or if necessary extended (e.g. light and shading control, etc.).”
“Speed and flexibility were convincing!”
BECKHOFF Automation GmbH & Co. KG
The Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co. KG is one of the biggest german manufacturers of automation technology and implements open automation systems on the principle of PC-based control technology in the fields of industry and building automation. For the renovation of the showroom and the new training center at the headquarter of Beckhoff Automation Austria, a Smart-Building solution with u::Lux combined with a Beckhoff-CX5130 control was chosen.
light, shading, air conditioning, multiroom-audio, beamer control, central-OFF, furniture roller blinds, RGB-LEDs
“The most important factors to choose u::Lux were the high flexibility of the overall solution, the quick and simple expandability of the functions and Ethernet as modern communication standard.”
“We are overwhelmed by the proximity sensor, the compactness, the little space requirement in a standard flush-mounting and the freely definable display to indicate functions and information of any kind!”
