Reducing consumption and increasing economic savings is a goal that can be achieved through the application of energy efficiency logics. However, the first essential step on this journey is awareness of how we use energy. That’s why monitoring energy consumption is the foundation of any energy efficiency effort. When we are aware of how and where we are using energy, we become able to identify areas where improvements can be made. This can include adopting more energy-efficient equipment, optimizing heating and cooling system settings, programming devices to turn off when they’re not needed, and much more. The analysis of energy consumption data provides us with valuable information to make decisions based on facts, rather than assumptions. With Ilevia the monitoring activity is extremely simple. At any time and wherever you are, you can conveniently access the App and view energy production and consumption charts. Not only that, for an even more careful study it is possible to export the data to Excel to consult history and charts both on PC and on printed paper. To achieve this, the Report function comes in handy, a fundamental tool for helping users understand their consumption.

Reports offer a valuable resource. Thanks to this functionality, it is possible to periodically receive a summary of the collected data presented in Excel format directly via e-mail, as well as their representation on a chart. Users have the option to choose the frequency with which they wish to receive reports (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly), thus adapting monitoring to their specific needs. They can opt for the models made available by Ilevia or design new ones making the analysis even more accessible. Reports are not just information documents; they are a tool that allows users to more precisely analyze how energy is used. Users can spot trends over time, identify peaks in consumption, and evaluate the impact of their actions over different time scales. The reports not only provide data, but give users a powerful magnifying glass through which to examine their energy consumption and make decisions to create a more efficient home environment.

The possibility of setting timers for the devices installed in the system such as lights, shutters, blinds, thermostats brings considerable advantages: it becomes possible to automate the behavior of the house on the basis of one’s own habits, improving comfort, favoring the optimization of consumption and the energy saving. Although some of these devices on the market are equipped with a basic timed control function, this is too inflexible and extremely limited for managing a complex integrated system. For example, how should the system behave in case of exceptional events such as parties, business trips or holidays? Using the Ilevia supervisor it is possible to take advantage of the advanced functions and modulate the behavior of the system precisely on the basis of specific needs such as these, simply and quickly. The ability to manage the complex timers system with the weekly schedules tool allows you to configure the home automation system according to your personal rhythms and to be able to enjoy significant advantages including flexibility, ease of use, integration among systems and convenience.

Ilevia supervisor allows you to manage an unlimited number of weekly schedules. These can be created by the Installer, by the System Integrator or via the Ilevia App directly by the Customer. Each weekly schedule can have access to the entire project or only to selected devices, imposing a filter for a dedicated management of the weekly schedule itself to specific commands of the system.

A timer management system structured in this way allows you to intervene on the modification of the behavior of the system in an extremely easy and rapid way. If necessary, the Customer activates the needed weekly schedules, manually or through scenes. Furthermore, it is always possible to temporarily disable specific timers. All this gives the system considerable flexibility and a certain ease of management as it avoids having to manually change the timer of each device.

The “Summer Default” weekly schedule represents the behavior that the house assumes during a typical week in the period between June and September. The weekly schedule configuration provides for an identical behavior routine from Monday to Friday (working days) with the activation of scenes and the execution of single events at specific times of the day. However, some of these events are not scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays which, however, maintain some differences between them regarding the execution time of some commands.

Being able to automate the start of irrigation is really very useful. It is even more so to be able to rely on an irrigation control system with advanced functions that allows you to set programs and adjust specific parameters, also planning their remodulation based on the season. In general, the purchase of dedicated control units is taken into consideration, but those who use the Ilevia supervisor must know that they already have these tools. The Irrigation function is in fact evaluated by Customers as a complete and flexible function, with simple methods and minimum configuration times, which improve the performance of the system and increase satisfaction of those who take care of the green areas.

Irrigation management by the Ilevia supervisor is characterized by the presence of a real irrigation function specifically developed. Although manual and planned control of the individual solenoid valves remains possible, the Ilevia configurator allows you to place a more powerful tool in the hands of the Customer for a more flexible management of the irrigation system. The irrigation function of the Ilevia supervisor is based on the setting of irrigation programs that can be configured directly via the Ilevia App by owners and managers of the green areas.

As well as manually, the start of the irrigation program takes place automatically based on a schedule that is configured by the Customer via the Ilevia App. For each program, the Customer autonomously defines the zones (solenoid valves) to be included in the irrigation cycle, the watering duration for each zone (minutes or seconds), any time intervals between the zones for water replenishment by the system and the number of cycles to be performed. In order to minimize the time required to modify the program configuration, an activity that is necessary with the change of seasons, the irrigation function of the Ilevia supervisor also allows the planning of specific parameters, such as the number of cycles and the percentage of the watering time of the whole program.

The Ilevia supervisor allows you to take advantage of complementary functions such as sending alerts in the event of system anomalies and consumption analysis reports that enrich the user experience and encourage conscious consumption of resources. This is accompanied by the integration with Google and Amazon voice assistants and the possibility of remote control via the Ilevia App.
