Ksenia Security: Energia
Consumption Management System


Energia is a BUS peripheral designed to manage the power of single-phase electrical systems by measuring the electric consumption. Each Energia module has two distinct lines where voltage and current are supervised, both lines support up to 6kW loads. Two energy consumption thresholds can be programmed: when the first is exceeding, alerts are generated – and sent also via push notifications. If the second threshold is exceeding, Energia generates the alert and starts to disconnect the loads according to the chosen sequence previously set. Each module has 4 relay outputs capable to drive external relays for disconnecting loads or used as control panel generic outputs. Energia fully complies with current policies and norms on energy efficiency, thanks to the electrical loads management and the energy consumption balance. The module is designed to collect the electrical system data and provides a visual representation through graphs showing consumption time trends.

Dormakaba: Resivo
Access management in the Cloud


The new Resivo access system for Real estate management from Dormakaba considerably simplifies access management of properties, facilitates handover of the apartment and solves the question who in an apartment building has access to where, simple but differentiated.

New building projects are increasingly being planned with digital access. The new Resivo access system from dormakaba was developed for smart residential buildings of the future.
