With her, a smart home system has also moved into the shared apartment, which Kurt uses to keep his granddaughter Maja on her toes.

Follow the story of the two together with us and be inspired by the possibilities that a smart home offers.
A smart flat share - Episode 5
Kurt loves to bathe. For a good feeling of well-being, the temperature of the water and the temperature in the room have to be right. With the Smarter Home, that's no problem. But - better safe than sorry - it doesn't hurt to get Maja involved as well.
Episode 5
The secret stars of the smart flat share
Grandpa Kurt and granddaughter Maja have a lot going on in their shared apartment. If the two residents have also inspired your desire for a Smarter Home, here is a summary of the secret stars of our mini-series.
The Busch-Welcome® door communication system is the perfect solution for anyone looking for comfort and security in their home. It can easily be integrated into other Smart Home systems, such as Busch-free@home®. With the video front-door station and the video indoor station, it becomes possible to see and communicate with people at the front door without having to run to the door. And as Grandpa Kurt impressively demonstrates, the video front-door station also takes pictures.
With the Busch-free@home® Next app you have your Smarter Home under control at any time, whether with a smartphone or a tablet. Using the app, you can check at any time if all windows are closed, if the lights are switched off or even conveniently call up scenes like Grandpa Kurt. The Busch-Welcome® door communication system can also be integrated into the Next app.
There are many ways to control your Smarter Home. But one of the nicest solutions is definitely our Busch-SmartTouch® 10" - the touch panel for room-spanning control. With a tap and swipe gestures, you can, of course, regulate the heating, control the blinds or even your audio systems. Of course, you can also combine individual functions in scenes. And best of all, the Smarter Home Panel can also be integrated into our Busch-free@home® system.
With the voice control function, your Busch-free@home® system listens to every word. Through the voice commands, your voice assistant controls, among other things, the lamps in your Smarter Home, calls up scenes or plays your favorite music. Grandpa Kurt has already figured this out and now communicates regularly with Alexa and his Smarter Home. By the way, voice control also works with Google Assistant.
With the Busch-free@home® system, the room temperature can be controlled individually and as needed - for example, depending on the time of day or, as in our smart shared apartment, depending on the use of the room. So it never has to be too hot or too cold. Another advantage of the room temperature controllers is the ECO mode - this automatically lowers the temperature at night or in case of absence. And even smarter is the integration of a window detector. This ensures that your heating is automatically switched off when the window is open.
You don't want to be in the dark anymore? Then do it like Maja and integrate motion detectors into your smarter home. Because no matter how young or old you are, motion detectors are simply convenient and also help to save energy. The smart helpers only switch on the light when it is needed.
The flatmates
Granddaughter Maja
" Hey, I'm Maja. Student of electrical engineering, 23 years and pretty new here in the city. When I got the place to study, I was immediately looking for a nice apartment. Two rooms with a balcony in a central location for a ridiculous price! You know the story.
Yes, that's why I ended up here. With grandpa Kurt. That's my mom's dad. He lives exactly where I wanted to go. And so reason dictated that I live with him. Although I don't know if that was reason. Oh, never mind. I'm saving a lot of money. The deal is this. I live with him in this big house and make myself useful. My hobby is smart home. And I install grandpa this and that and make his house smarter and smarter. I sometimes think the house gets smarter to the extent that Grandpa is mentally degrading. Nah, kidding. I do love him. But sometimes he's weird ..."
Grandpa Kurt
"Hello, I'm Kurt, 76 years old. What I used to work at? I don't remember. Today I live. Every day. When my daughter suggested that Maja should move in with me, I was skeptical. But I went along with the experiment. It was a good thing. Works great! Maja has made it clear from the beginning: I don't do any housework! I thought that was good. That's when I realize that it's my granddaughter.
Since Maja has been living here, I've had a whole new home feeling. She's installing smart homes little by little. All these things that make life a little easier and are really easy to use. Even for me. I think that's good. I'm already trying to make her feel a little bit like she's taking care of me. When she installs something, I have it explained to me three times - even though I get it right away, of course."
I love smart home. Since my granddaughter Maja installed all of this, I have even more fun.
5 good reasons for a Smarter Home
1
A maximum of comfort
Smarter Home is incredibly diverse in its functions and will continue to provide innovations in the future. Controlling the entire home technology from the sofa is by no means everything. The comfort is already unfolded by the choice of control: classically via switches on the wall, with a beautiful panel with glass surface as a control center, by means of an app on your smartphone or even by voice alone - thanks to Alexa.
2
Added safety
Door stations with camera equipment and modern entry control, presence simulations that are deceptively thanks to detailed programming, motion and presence detectors that provide light even when there is no free hand - these are just a few intelligent specialists. Smarter Home protects against burglaries, warns in case of smoke, reacts in case of storms, creates security in every dark corner of your home through intelligent lighting.
3
Persönliche Nachhaltigkeit
Busch-free@home® is a complete system, like KNX. Automation and digitalization allow maximum energy efficiency. Every day all year round. Heating, blinds, lighting, photovoltaics - everything goes hand in hand and works independently. In this way, you make a very important contribution to a conscious and climate-friendly lifestyle.
4
Smart investment
And in a double sense: Smart building technology is already standard today and will even be a must-have in the future. The installation therefore significantly increases the value of the property. You'll notice this not only when you sell your home. But - and in this case perhaps even more pleasantly - when you live in your four walls in old age. Smarter homes vastly improve your independence. And the technology is getting much more sophisticated with robotics and artificial intelligence.
5
Just fun
Smarter Home is a limitless playground not only for technology enthusiasts. The diverse control options alone are a great pleasure. Because despite all the complex technology behind the intelligent installation: the handling is maximally simple. And is incredibly fun. Creating a scene with dimming the lights and starting music with a tap on the switch and seeing the admiring looks of your friends - priceless. With Smarter Home you show that you are modern and responsible.
