Relay: Intelligent networking for your smart home

Relays: Smart switches for your home

Whether it's a roller shutter switch, light switch, or dimmer switch: Relays transform your existing switches into smart devices with intelligent control. Installation in any standard flush-mounted box allows for quick installation into your existing electrical circuit. This means that converting to your smart home doesn't require major renovations, and no cables need to be laid. All you need to convert is our free "Smart Life" app and a simple Wi-Fi router with active internet access. Depending on the type of relay, different devices can be controlled. At Smart Life 24, we offer a variety of relays to suit your needs and electrical circuit.

Advantages and properties of relays

What are electrical relays actually? A relay is a switch that is activated not manually but by an electromagnet. The relay's electromagnetic field can open or close high-voltage circuits. This property makes it possible to switch high currents on and off with a low control current. Every relay consists of a coil with an iron core. When current flows through it, this coil becomes magnetic, actuates an armature, and thus closes the circuit. Relays come in various types, such as time relays, impulse relays, power relays, and solid-state relays. Relays in the smart home offer the advantage of enabling intelligent control of the devices existing in your home. This way, you can benefit from convenient operation, practical timer programs, and lower energy costs without having to make major changes to the electronics in your home.

Application of relays in the smart home

Relays can be used in numerous areas of your home. For example, they can transform your conventional roller shutter switch into a smart switch with intelligent control. Or how about a smart light switch that allows you to control your lighting at the touch of a button on your smartphone? Dimming your lights or switching on cozy lights at selected times is also conveniently possible. The relay is installed invisibly behind the existing switch in the existing electrical system and connected via Wi-Fi. This allows for convenient remote control via our free "Smart Life" app. All circuits and switching contacts connected to the relay can now be operated and switched on and off via the app or voice control. In addition to switching on and off, other options are also possible, such as automatic control via timer programs.
