Theben provides BIM data for presence and motion detectors
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a holistic, digital process for creating and managing information for a building object. BIM is based on an intelligent model that is provided centrally and integrates structured, multidisciplinary data. This makes it possible to create a digital representation of a building over its entire life cycle - from planning and design through to construction and operation.

New Theben yearly time switches top3: More power and flexible operating concept
Theben AG is updating and consolidating its extensive portfolio of yearly time switches. The previous top2 devices are being replaced by three top3 yearly time switches with one, two or four channels. In addition, three new top3 time switches and astro time switches with 24V operating voltage are available. The new yearly time switches not only reduce energy consumption and save time when programming. They also cover many special cases thanks to their wide range of functions.

Wireless lighting control: Theben DALI-2 presence sensors can now also be used in Casambi systems
Theben DALI-2 presence sensors from theRonda, thePassa and PlanoSpot series can now also be used in wireless Casambi systems for lighting control. This is based on a Casambi control modules as an interface between the DALI bus and Casambi-compatible luminaires. Adaptations to the presence sensors are not necessary. Optionally, the Casambi module can also be used as a DALI-2 actuator. Casambi allows wired DALI-2 systems to be extended wirelessly. This opens up new, flexible possibilities for retrofitting existing DALI-2 lighting control systems, for example in offices, conference rooms, hotels and other buildings.

More efficient planning and installation with plug-in presence and motion detectors
The pressure on planning offices and electrical installers in terms of construction times for functional buildings is growing. There is also less and less time available for planning and installing presence and motion detectors. But how can installation times be reduced without compromising on quality and customer satisfaction? Plug-in detectors instead of conventional wiring offer a particularly efficient solution here.

Behind each and every one of our products and systems is the idea of only using energy when it is absolutely necessary: whether it be an automatic light control with presence and motion detectors or LED spotlights, light control with dimmer and staircase time switches or climate control with KNX actuators, CO2 sensors and room thermostats.
Building Automation since 1921.
KNX Smart Building
KNX systems transform functional buildings and private homes into a Smart Building or Smart Home. Theben KNX actuators, KNX presence detectors, KNX valve drives, KNX push buttons, KNX weather stations and other KNX solutions ensure that you can use energy more efficiently and increase people's comfort and quality of life.

Efficient lighting control
If the requirements of the users are taken as a basis for the planning, there are many possibilities for saving energy without sacrificing comfort. Great potential can be found in the lighting, which is often set too bright and over too large an area with too long a delay time. If the building automation is planned to be human centered, dimmable and sensor-controlled lighting can become a game changer in the lighting segment.
For example, if there are only a few people left in the office, only their work areas need to be sufficiently lit; the surrounding areas are only illuminated by dimmed light to the extent that the users' sense of space remains positive. The delay times also deserve a second look: they are usually set far too long and can be significantly shortened or gradually become darker in order to avoid abrupt scene changes, which can affect the feeling of comfort.
The HCBA concept thus not only helps to make the atmosphere of a building more pleasant for people, but also to avoid unnecessary energy waste. Our DALI Room Solution 2 products address this precisely.
Presence & motion detector
Presence detectors and motion detectors from Theben are the perfect solution for energy-efficient lighting control. In addition to lighting control in offices, washrooms, schools, halls, corridors and public buildings, you can also control heating and air conditioning according to presence. This saves you energy costs and significantly reduces CO2 emissions.

No area of our daily lives can any longer do without questioning energy use. But people's convenience and fear of losing comfort often get in the way of many good ideas. There is no need for buildings to have uniform temperatures or lighting from the basement to the roof. People really only need comfort in their immediate environment; at best, it travels with them from room to room like a protective cocoon of warmth, light and fresh air. It is precisely this comfort zone around people that the concept of Human Centered Building Automation focuses on.
