Furthermore, the new intelligent Schneider ¡°House of the Future¡± model has arose the attention of R.E. experts and the media. Let's go through the changes brought by the ¡°House of the Future¡±:

When the first light comes into your house, the energy consume control turns into day mode from night mode automatically, then the solar energy battery starts to store the energy and input or output the energy according to the building energy consumption. Meanwhile, the lighting power inside will be adjusted automatically. When you using water, the thermo-sensor in the water faucet shows the exact water temperature through different color of light. When you sit in front of the mirror making up yourself, the thermo-sensor connected with the mirror will show that the temperature outside is 24 ¡æ . Therefore, spring dress may be suitable for you to go out. When you step out of your door, the intelligence protection system immediately works. The incidental information will be sent to the mobile terminals you have ever set up. What's more, the energy to sustain all of these modern appliances, equipment and control system is fully produced from the house itself. The storage and usage of solar energy will provide you the most comfortable lighting, temperature and humidity according to different seasons, different climates and even different time within a day. Meanwhile, the intelligence control system will store the data. When you step into your door, the system will shift to the memory mode automatically and provide you a most comfortable and familiar environment. And also, the control system will fully monitor the consumption of water, gas and electricity, and exactly optimize the consumption and provide maintenance plan. Easy, healthy, environment protection and advanced life concept did impress the attendees tremendously.
