All you need for a cosy Christmas

Your tree is up, the gifts are wrapped and the turkey is ready to go in the oven: Now it’s time to put your feet up and enjoy some time with your loved ones. You can use Smart Home technology to make your life easier – and your home even more warm and welcoming – at this time of year: Imagine using your smartphone to control your lighting, or to play some Christmas tunes on your sound system to get everyone in a festive mood, while your intelligent temperature controllers heat every room to a comfortable temperature and take care of the underfloor heating. That’s already a lot less for you to worry about – so you can focus on who’s at the door instead!

A warm welcome with Gira System 106

A quick glance at your Gira G1 home station tells you what you need to know: Your grandparents are smiling expectantly on your doorstep. The camera on the external door station is equipped with backlight compensation, enabling it to transmit high-contrast images to your home via the Gira System 106. And you won’t miss out on any visitors who choose to announce themselves with a festive “ho ho ho” either, thanks to the integrated intercom, which suppresses background noise. The call buttons on the Gira System 106 door station are illuminated and equipped with a brightness sensor, making them easy to spot even for guests arriving on dark winter evenings. The elegant metallic front plates are heated to protect the system against the harsh temperatures.

Smart Home comfort at Christmas and beyond

At the Christmas dinner table, the door communication system is still provoking conversation: Your grandparents think it’s great that they can install a Gira system 106 door station at their apartment building too.

With a total of seven module options to choose from, the flexible system enables you to configure a unit that meets your needs; simply plan the system online using the Gira door communication configurator and then screw it to the wall. The Gira System 106 is compatible with all Gira home stations and can also be integrated into Renz mailboxes. The Gira labelling service can add your personal details to the buttons and info module for the perfect professional finish.
