Building automation specialist Bruck Electronic GmbH (BEG) have recently launched a revolutionary new product known as the SmartHome system which is suitable for use in domestic properties. Previously only accessible to commercial operations such as warehouses and cold storage facilities, BEG have opened the market out to an affordable home automation system that is perfectly suited to a range of domestic properties.
BEG are focused on providing solutions for energy saving, comfort and security. They are a German-owned family business with more than 35 years in developing, manufacturing and distributing innovative solutions for intelligent building automation.
What is home automation and the SmartHome System?
The SmartHome System is an electrical product that makes everyday living much easier and far more convenient. Installed in less than one day by a qualified and registered electrician, the SmartHome System consists of a wireless system that can be operated via a SmartPhone or tablet device or by BEG's own MyControl Unit.
The householder can then control all electrical aspects of their home effectively from their armchair. Simply using a SmartPhone for example, temperatures can be controlled in a room not occupied, blinds can be opened and closed, garage doors can be operated along with all electrical appliances which are programmed to be compatible with the SmartHome System. No additional cabling or electrical work is needed to install the system which also delivers energy savings.
What energy savings can be expected?
It is no secret that electricity bills are rising and home owners are seeking alternative ways to energise their homes. The SmartHome System is designed to fit succinctly into the energy saving eco mix by enabling the switching on and off of lighting in rooms not occupied and turning down heating. In addition e-metering, smoke detection and heating control can all be controlled via a SmartPhone leaving householders in full control of energy consumption which can be adjusted instantaneously.
How is SmartHome Installed?
The SmartHome System can only be installed by a qualified and registered electrical contractor who has completed the BEG Approved Installer of the wireless SmartHome System. This way, the electrician can work with you with a design tailored to the needs of an individual property.
The system can be installed into differing styles of property from new build to existing. The wireless communications tool known as Z-Wave a wireless communications protocol that uses MESH capability and allows the devices within the system to ‘talk’ to one another and transmit messages across it. The MESH system will choose the optimum path for messages to be sent through up to four devices to reach its final destination.
Following installation, the design can be changed or adapted to suit the needs of a growing home – for example extensions and conservatories thanks to the modular nature of the design which again demonstrates the flexibility to customers changing lifestyles and priorities.
B.E.G’s new SmartHome is simple to install and configure with devices fitted in ceilings or installation boxes that require no additional circuitry. Device programming is straightforward and similar to pairing Bluetooth devices or wireless gaming machines.
A standard 3 bedroom property would cost a home owner around £4000 for a full SmartHome System.
Opportunity for qualified and registered electricians
There is an opportunity for qualified and registered electricians to undertake training to install the SmartHome System in their clients homes. The Approved Installer training course provided by BEG is completely free of charge to attend and held in variety of UK locations for ease of access for electricians who are looking to extend the range of services they offer.
The training for electricians who must already be qualified domestic electricians covers the training on how to install and operate the system in domestic properties. The training is just four hours in duration which shows just how simple this system is to install.

B.E.G. SmartHome Business Manager Gary Walker said: “The B.E.G approved installer scheme offers electrical contractors a great new revenue opportunity. The training is absolutely free and takes only half a day to complete due to the simplicity of our wireless SmartHome system.
