After successfully being implemented in major industrial plants and hotel segment, Siemens for the first time adapts this intelligent ‘Simatic S7- 200’ system to be applied for Hyde Park Home project of H.

3) Time schedule plug. (optional) For instance, coffee maker, rice cooker or plant watering device operates according to the pre-programmed time.
Home safety applications include:
1) Infrared Motion Detector detects intruders while everybody sleeps or nobody is at home. The system works when switching on a Security Key at the main gate or in front of bed room. When detecting intruders, signal will be sent to Home Automation unit. Then siren rings, lights turned on in the living room and SMS ‘Security Alarm’ sent to its resident. At the same time, it will send SMS signal to security control center, equipped with Alarm Monitoring & Logging System, where it monitors and records all kinds of incidents.

The report received enables security officer to go and check the situation or alert the police. For higher safety measure, CCTV with infrared beam will be installed all around the premises.
Furthermore, Siemens will apply the latest technology -Radio Frequency Identification- (RFID) to the Hyde Park’s Car Access System. All resident’s cars will be placed with RFID Tag, allowing the gate to open automatically. For safety measure, the system records all details of all vehicles entering Hyde Park.
