Can a home automation system today benefit from integration with messaging applications to improve the energy performance and security of an intelligent building? The answer is yes, but only through Ilevia control devices.<\/i><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

In our homes and workplaces, constant attention to the pursuit of comfort, safety and efficiency pushes us to make the most of the best technologies available. Surprisingly, today even messaging applications<\/strong> can play a significant role in achieving these goals. The integration between Ilevia and the innovative Telegram<\/strong> messaging service constitutes a practical example of how communication technology can contribute to making important improvements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/www.ilevia.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/ilevia-telegram.jpg” alt=”communication-between-ilevia-and-telegram” title_text=”Ilevia & Telegram” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”25px||25px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Telegram<\/strong> is an instant messaging app, similar to WhatsApp but with unique features, including the ability to create bots, programs designed to perform automated tasks in response to commands. The integration of such a sophisticated communication tool<\/strong> with a supervisor like Ilevia<\/strong>, which supports and processes information<\/strong> from various other systems present in the plant, has made it possible to create something new, interactive notification<\/em>. The integration now allows the Ilevia Smart Home to communicate directly with users through Telegram to inform them in real time of what is happening in the building and to ask them to choose from time to time how to intervene in the face of specific events.<\/strong> Through this, optimization stops depending on automation and passes into the hands of the user. In fact, standardized behavior is not always the most intelligent response. If the system were configured to always apply an automatic mechanism, we would undoubtedly lose important possibilities of optimization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/www.ilevia.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chat-Telegram_ENG.jpg” alt=”Satisfied man using smartphone at work reading the Ilevia chat on Telegram” title_text=”Chat Telegram” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”60%” custom_padding=”25px||25px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

In fact, an automated response from a software is not always necessarily the safest or most convenient. In the event that the solar energy produced by the photovoltaic system is in excess, Ilevia Smart Home could ask us to optionally allocate it to car charging, the heat pump or the storage system. Allowing the user to choose what the behavior of the building should be helps the system to always perform in the best way<\/strong> based on the different needs of those who use it from time to time. This allows the supervisor to modify the management of the building<\/strong> based on the moment and the needs of those who live there, managing to maximize energy efficiency and improve the level of safety<\/strong>. Casa Ilevia could share in chat the image captured by the external camera relating to the license plate of the car parked in front of our gate, or of the person parked in front of our door, and propose to carry out one or more of the available actions that we deem more appropriate such as supervising the situation through connection to the NVR or instantly opening access.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||25px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Functions of Telegram<\/h3>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n
