How to:?Using the Power Supply & Backup to monitor usage and as a UPS: Pioneering Sustainability & Energy Management

The Traditional vs. The Smart Approach:

For home and business installations, managing power efficiently is crucial.

Traditional setups often rely on 230V mains power for all devices, leading to higher consumption and increased costs. But what if there's a smarter, more efficient way? … there is with Loxone's Power Supply & Backup! Loxone introduces a game-changer: a compact power supply unit that not only delivers power more efficiently but also includes an optional backup system for power cuts. This innovative solution, like all Loxone installations, uses 24V to operate - it's a safer and more energy-conscious solution that reduces your clients' energy bills. Don’t be left in the dark!

?? Integrated Power and Monitoring:

The Power Supply & Backup comes with 7 built-in channels, each providing 24VDC and capable of handling up to 10A. This powerful unit can supply and monitor the energy consumption of all peripheral devices in your Loxone installation. With integrated energy monitors for each output, clients gain granular insight into their energy usage, accessible anytime via the Loxone App.

?? Backup Power for Blackouts:

Power outages can significantly disrupt both home and business operations. The Power Supply & Backup addresses this with added battery backup functionality, ensuring that critical systems like WiFi, lighting, and security remain operational even during the power cut. With smart automation, Loxone extends the backup battery life, making intelligent decisions like dimming lights to conserve power or tapering what is controlled based on the remaining battery percentage.

??? Safety and Convenience:

In addition to its efficiency, the unit is designed with safety in mind. If a fuse blows, it prevents damage to other components in the cabinet. It has spare fuses included for quick replacement. This compact unit offers a space-saving solution compared to traditional setups with multiple extensions, power supplies, and energy meters.

?? A Step Towards Sustainability:

By optimising power usage and providing a reliable backup, Loxone's Power Supply & Backup not only enhances efficiency but also contributes to environmental sustainability. This aligns with modern needs for energy-conscious living and workspaces.
