ViACT is a family of modular actuators for smart buildings and the Internet of Things. The products meet the strictest requirements when it comes to safety, reliability and resistance to interference from the power supply grid. They therefore ensure worry-free operation in the smart home for many years to come.
ViACT can be operated locally with one or two rocker switches right on the actuator and can be easily matched to the home decor lines of prominent manufacturers. A mechanical light switch is replaced by a ViACT, and existing pushbuttons are integrated via the external input. The actuator makes tried-and-tested installations “smart,” both in new buildings and by upgrading. ViACT provides an optimum radio range in smart buildings. The optional ViNET routing system ensures complete wireless coverage and eliminates the use of repeaters.
Individual customization
Devices on the ViACT product platform can be placed into operation without any tools. Thanks to the remote commissioning standardized by the EnOcean Alliance, they further adapt to a wide range of individual requirements. The ViCOS Remote Commissioning software, developed specifically for installers, enables individual devices to be trained and configured intuitively. Project documentation is generated automatically in the background, making later modifications much easier.
Faster market launch
ViACT is aimed at companies that would like to launch EnOcean-based actuators under their own brand or integrate them into their own systems. ViCOS creates desired product features from certified function blocks and customer-specific device firmware. Using a product platform cuts costs and lowers the risk of individual product development and also significantly speeds up market launch.
