ABB
integrated into ABB-free@home®.
The door communication and home
automation can be used together
with ABB-free@ homeTouch 7”. For
example, the light switches on when
the doorbell rings to see visitors
more clearly. And for reasons of
safety, the video camera records
pictures of visitors at the door when
no one is home.
Picture directly on the display
Practical and comfortable. The
image of the video camera can
be displayed on the tablet or
smartphone via the Welcome app.
In this way, any visitors who ring
the bell can be recognised even if
you are not at home (requires the
ABB-Welcome IP gateway and ABB-
Welcome outdoor video station).
Security while you are away
Even when you are away from
home you can still be kept up-to-
date. ABB-free@home® informs

ABB-free@home® allows the
complete regulation of all of the
automated features of the home. It
provides functionality that is mobile
and smart, precise and continuously
variable.
For example, if the lighting
atmosphere is to be changed, tapping
on the touch screen or even a simple
voice command can move the blinds,
change the colours of the lights or
select a pre-programmed lighting
scene.
The ABB-free@home® home
automation makes daily life easier.
Motorised blinds, lighting,
heating, air-conditioning and
door communication can be
controlled together. The smartphone
becomes the remote control in the
house. The blinds can be moved
up and the radio in the kitchen can
be switched on with the touch of a
button while you are still in bed – or
all lights and devices are deactivated
via a switch when leaving the house.
Door communication
The ABB-Welcome door
communication system can be

about current events at home – such
as when a movement detector
detects a movement or when a
window has been open for a long
period of time. For additional
security while you are away the
presence simulation of ABB-free@
home® records the weekly sequence
of the devices. This means that its
response is completely the same
whether the residents are present
or absent. Whether on a business
trip, on holiday or while shopping
around the corner, a safety check
of the entire home is possible from
anywhere in the world.
