Home automation

Intelligence shaped around the way you live.

Lighting, shading, thermal comfort and automation work together to make spaces easier to live in.

Technology integrated into architecture
One intelligence

We do not start with equipment.

We start with how you use your space.
Lighting, shading, heating, security and automation are distinct functions. Designed together, they create a consistent, intuitive experience that can evolve.

Lighting

Create an atmosphere, not just switch on a light.

Lighting is designed around the architecture, activities and desired atmosphere. NSB matches the control technology to each circuit and integrates it into the building’s scenes.

Switching

ON / OFF

Control lighting circuits through local controls, centralised control, all-off functions, scenes and automation.

Dimming

Light levels under control

Adjust light levels to suit visual comfort, atmosphere, activities and different times of day.

Technology

DALI

Digital, addressable lighting management: luminaires, groups, dimming and scenes integrated into the building’s overall intelligence.

Comfort & automation

A space that adapts.

Individual functions need not operate in isolation. They can interact to reduce unnecessary actions and adapt the building naturally to its occupants.

Shutters & shading

Individual, room, façade or whole-building controls. Intermediate positions, schedules, scenes and automation tailored to the project.

Heating & comfort

Zonal control, setpoints and operating modes coordinate thermal comfort with how spaces are actually occupied.

Detection

Occupancy, light levels, schedules and relevant status information can trigger appropriate actions without multiplying controls.

Centralised control

Group essential functions to simplify everyday actions: leaving, arriving, switching everything off or closing all shutters.

Wall controls

Controls that fit the architecture and the way spaces are used, designed to stay simple despite the range of available functions.

Interfaces

Depending on the project: screens, smartphones, tablets or monitoring interfaces for the information and functions that really matter.

Scenes

Several actions. One touch.

Scenes are not imposed: they are designed around the project and the way occupants actually use the spaces.

Arrival

Lighting, comfort and shading can automatically return to the right settings for your arrival.

Departure

Switch off the lights, close the relevant equipment and set functions to away mode.

Night

Softer lighting, suitable circulation lighting, shading and coordinated comfort functions.

Entertaining

A personalised atmosphere combining lighting, shading and other functions included in the project.

“The best technology is the technology you forget is there. ”

Controls & interfaces

Complexity stays behind the interface.

Users do not need to understand technical protocols. An action should remain clear, predictable and suited to the context.

The technology behind the experience

Open. Controlled. Adaptable.

KNX

A communication architecture that coordinates the building’s different functions.

DALI

Advanced, addressable management of lighting, dimming and groups.

IP & networks

Infrastructure for interfaces, connected equipment and exchanges between systems.

Gateways

Interoperability between technologies when the project needs to bring several ecosystems together.

Design & support

A home automation project starts before work begins on site.

NSB can help from the outset: requirements analysis, plan reviews, systems architecture, technology selection, coordination with the project team, programming, commissioning and support.

For homeowners

New build or refurbishment: define a coherent solution before technical choices become constraints.

Architects & professionals

You imagine the space. We design the intelligence that brings it to life.
