With the continuous launch of a series of new products of Ammins, users will gradually build a complete Smart home living environment.
The modular design can adapt to the needs of various occasions, protect the interests of users, and allow the system to be gradually put in place. Modules follow certain protocols and can communicate and coordinate with each other.
In the initial home automation system, the following main functions are provided:
Network and unified management of multiple home devices
Devices in various homes are After simple modification, it can be connected to the Ammins network to achieve collaborative work; for example, after pressing the "Leave Home" button, the information is broadcast to the network, and any device related to the "Leave Home" action will do Come up with reasoning and decide your next work status. Users can also customize the working logic on each device.
Lighting control system
The lighting system is mainly composed of fluorescent lamps, chandeliers, wall lamps, spotlights and floor lamps. Except for fluorescent lamps, the brightness of all other lamps can be adjusted to meet different needs. The lighting will be adjusted accordingly according to different scenarios. For example, the lighting will be automatically dimmed when watching a video. It only requires the touch of a button to produce a preset lighting effect, which is very convenient to use.
Any switch can no longer only control one or a group of lights. You can specify the control object of any switch (one or more lights at any location). For example, for a switch on the bedside of a bedroom, you can set it to control the bedside lamp, or set it to turn on and off all the lights in the bedroom.
Integrated security system
The functions of this system include anti-theft alarm and home security. Using the standard sensor signal interface, it can be connected to most anti-theft products on the market (human movement detectors, gas leak detectors, door magnetic switches, sound and light alarm devices, etc.). After receiving the trigger signal, the system can perform corresponding operations. Alarm information can trigger actions such as flashing of all lights, remote alarm by phone, sounding of siren, etc.
AC power supply control system
Currently, most household appliances receive AC power supply through power sockets. The system can provide an effective control method for all electrical appliances. For example, when you fall asleep, automatically cut off the power of electrical appliances that do not need to be working to avoid various potential dangers.
Indoor wireless remote control system
The infrared remote control equipped with the system can easily manage all the networked devices in the home. Since the signal can be transmitted to each control node through the home bus, no matter You can control it from any room in your home. For example, when you are watching TV in the living room, you can conveniently turn off unnecessary lights and appliances in the kitchen, corridor, balcony and room through the remote control without having to miss the key plot by getting up to operate.
Temperature and lighting detection and adjustment
The system can monitor the temperature and lighting in each room, and can query and record it at any time. The system will adjust the working status of lighting and air conditioning based on these parameters. Emergency measures can be taken for abnormal rises in indoor temperature.
Phone remote control
Using the "smart phone" node, various electrical equipment in the home network can be remotely controlled through the phone or mobile phone buttons. When it cooperates with the data collection node, it can also automatically make a call to call the owner based on the content of the alarm.
INTERNET remote control
Use a WWW browser (such as IE) to access your home computer anywhere you can connect to the INTERNET for intuitive remote control and status monitoring.
Voice recognition control
Users can issue voice scene control commands from anywhere in the home through wireless microphones to control the entire family's networked devices
Network Video Surveillance
Ammings allows users to remotely monitor their homes through a web browser. Users can use Ammins to ensure that network remote control achieves the desired effect, or check whether an emergency has occurred; users can also use Ammins to observe whether the baby at home has fallen asleep peacefully...
More The definition of multi-function
Ammings Network abstracts the functions provided by various devices in the home into multiple objects (or functional units). Users can edit and edit the properties of these objects on the computer. combination to create new functionality. For example, for the two elements "TV Volume" and "Incoming Phone Call", the user may want to set up a function: when a call comes in, the volume of the TV is turned down so that the ringing sound of the phone can be heard. sound. It can be seen that the function expansion of the system is very convenient, and users can use their imagination to design new functions, thereby bringing more convenience to life.
Ammins' products are designed for a single residence, focusing on the close connection between various electrical equipment in the residence and people's lives. It not only provides a truly "intelligent" residential living environment, but can also be integrated with community networks to provide richer functions.
In the future, Ammins will provide more complete functions and services as described below:

2.2 Control subsystem
2.2.1 Design orientation
If architecture is solidified music, then perfect lighting is the perfect part of this music. note. Today, with advanced science and technology and abundant material resources, lamps are no longer simply a tool for basic indoor lighting, but also a practical work of art for architectural decoration, a unity of lighting technology and architectural art. Perfect lighting integrates decoration, lighting and energy saving, and strives to achieve perfect and harmonious unity. It makes full use of the combination of light and dark, the combination of light and shadow, and the change and distribution of light to create various visual environments to enhance the atmosphere of the indoor space effect. .
You may have noticed how important the art of lighting is to decorating a new home, so we have carefully selected a variety of chic chandeliers, floor lamps, table lamps and wall lamps to decorate your life. They really give you a pleasing style. However, you may also notice that when you have a variety of lamps in your home, it can be troublesome to carefully match them together and achieve the effect that best suits the atmosphere. For example, different occasions and different moods require different lighting combinations to match them, so that these lights can present changeable scenes. However, after a busy day and you are lying comfortably on the sofa, you don’t want to get up and manually adjust each dimmer switch one by one to obtain the desired effect, right?
You can turn on the air conditioner and water heater at home in advance on your way home, and you can fry and cook three meals a day anywhere before getting off work. When you open the door at home, with the help of door sensors or infrared sensors, the system will automatically close the curtains and turn on the aisle lights for you, putting the home in the best condition to welcome you back.
When you get home, you can easily control various electrical equipment in the room through the remote control, and set the required preset scenes so that you know how to live. When you wake up in the morning, the system will automatically play a relaxing piece of music according to your settings. The curtains will automatically open, and the kitchen electrical equipment will automatically enter working mode, giving you a hearty breakfast and more time to enjoy a more comfortable life.
When you are watching TV, you may have missed a wonderful shot because you walked over to turn on the light; or you may have had to get up when you were lying in bed on a winter night only to find that the light in the bathroom had not been turned off. Close it;—it's such a hassle.
All of this shows that you need a lighting control system to help you.
The intelligent lighting system launched by Ammins (Fuzhou) Co., Ltd. is designed to manage the complex and changeable lighting in the home. It has a built-in microprocessor based on Motorola’s “Digital Gene” technology, which integrates every All lights are connected to the smart home network, providing rich functions such as touch light control, infrared remote control, scene combination, and preset storage.
By touching the button on the panel, you can control the switch and brightness of the lights, or make multiple lights enter a certain preset scene; you can also control all the lights in the house through the hand-held remote control . Through the scene setting button on the remote control, you can easily set the lighting scene and switch quickly.
The Ammins intelligent lighting system is part of the intelligent network platform, supports complete network features, and can be interconnected and work collaboratively with other subsystems that Ammins has launched and will launch. For example: the alarm information of the security system can make all lights flash; when you go out, all lights can be sensed and automatically turned off...
2.2.2 Product Introduction
Each The weak electronic system leads the cable directly from the outdoor equipment box to the indoor socket of the resident. For example, the telephone line is directly led from the phone box to the indoor telephone socket, and the cable TV is directly led from the outdoor cable TV distribution box to the indoor cable TV socket. , the same is true for other systems. Each system is independent of each other and has no rules. Once the wiring is in place, it is difficult to transform according to needs, let alone future expansion, system upgrades and system integration.
Today's home weak current comprehensive wiring system is to integrate the security, TV, telephone, and computer lines introduced from the outdoor equipment box into an Ammins main distribution box at home. The functional modules are then distributed throughout the room. Combined with the analysis, we can clearly see the following advantages of the home weak current integrated wiring system:
From the overall network structure of the wiring system, the weak current of the entire home The network structure is a star structure with the household weak current integrated distribution box as the core, which means that all weak current systems entering the home first arrive at the distribution box. In this way, there will be a clear working interface for the indoor wiring and outdoor wiring of all weak current systems in the home.
The benefits of home weak-current integrated wiring systems are currently mainly reflected in the secondary decoration of residents. Centrally managed wiring boxes can enable residents to be "targeted" in the secondary decoration, avoiding the need to pull wires indiscriminately and Wiring can also be interchanged as needed, achieving the effect of integrated wiring, thereby achieving management flexibility.
2.2.3 AMS system product features
AMS is not only an intelligent control network technology, but also refers to a type of AMS designed using this technology that is compatible with and directly interacts with each other. Connected smart home products, these products have the "Ammins Compatible" mark. "Ammings Compatible" technically guarantees the modularity, serialization and upgradeability of Ammings products, so Ammings products will provide more varieties in future homes to meet different consumer needs.
(1) Home design. Ammings products are completely designed for smart homes/communities. They are more in line with the requirements of modern homes than other products in terms of function, appearance, use or installation.
(2) Diversified design.
According to the different requirements of users, the Ammins system is divided into control objects: lighting control, electrical appliance control, audio and video equipment control, traffic control and security control, etc.; and control methods: direct control by module panel, unit operation keyboard control, and remote control. Device control, timing control, telephone remote control and computer network remote control, etc.
(3) Standardized design. Most of Ammins' in-wall control products are designed according to the size of 86×86. The reasons for adopting this standard are, first, to make it easier for people to accept new products; second, to facilitate the replacement of traditional products to realize the dream of smart homes; third, In the event that some new products fail and you are eager to restore basic functions, you can still replace them with the original traditional products. Of course, this traditional product will not have the functions of Ammins.
(4) Systematic design. Systematization has two meanings here: first, it is easy to form a system. Since the system adopts a bus system, it is very easy to form a system; second, it is easy to expand the system. You can first establish a basic system and build it on this basic system. , you can add the functions you need at any time, so that you can "eat what you want and tailor it to your needs".
*Control system networking
Ammins is a fully distributed intelligent control network technology, which we call the home control bus. The Ammins bus has two-way communication capabilities, as well as interoperability and interchangeability. Every network node (each functional module) on the Ammins control bus is programmable. A typical Ammins bus adopts a free topology structure and uses 120Ω twisted pairs. Each network node (Node) can obtain power (24V/DC) from the bus. The access between network nodes is non-polar. Ammins’ The signal encoding method is similar to LonWorks, and the signal transmission rate and system capacity are 10K and 4G respectively. The typical system structure is shown in Figure 1.
The biggest benefit of the networked control system is that it can realize the full sharing of resources. For example: you can use a remote control to control all the control modules of all Ammins systems, you can also use a timer to set an automatic operation schedule for all these facilities, or even use a button to do something that you would have spent more than a dozen times before. Something that can only be accomplished with one action. In short, the Ammins control network has stronger functions than traditional control systems.
*Modularization of system functions
One function per module, you can choose as many modules as you need, as direct and simple as 1+1. For example, if you want to control lights, you can choose a digital dimming module; if you want to control electrical appliances, you can choose a remote control socket module; if you want centralized remote control, you can choose a multi-purpose remote control module; if you want network remote control, you can choose a network remote control module. It is clear that Ammins control networks are more cost-effective than traditional control systems.
*Intelligence of functional modules
There is no traditional control host, and conventional control modes such as master/slave and turn-by-turn query are abandoned. Under the same communication protocol, each Each module has the same level and status; each module has the right to send and receive information. In addition, the working mode of each module can be reprogrammed and reset, and each module can operate independently. The increase or decrease in the number of modules in a system, or the change of the working mode of a certain module will not affect other modules. or the operation of the entire system. Therefore, the Ammins control network has higher intelligence than traditional control systems.
*Simplification of network systems
Network systems usually have strong functions, but it is not easy to simplify the structure. The Ammins system is one of the few systems that can solve this problem. Its bus consists of a non-polar twisted pair and adopts a free topology network structure. Each functional module can be directly connected in parallel to the bus and obtains data from the bus. Power is supplied (24 VDC) and data is transmitted via the bus, making installation as simple as plugging in a telephone. For this reason, the Ammins system is easier to install and use than any other system.
AMS security system has the following features:
1) Up to 8 defense zones
2) Flexible combination of defense zones to prevent false alarms
p>
3) Full voice prompts
4) Multiple alarm methods such as siren, management center, and telephone
5) Telephone, Internet, and remote arming/disarming
6) Three sets of emergency help buttons (Note: 120, 110, 119)
7) Multiple ways of arming at/away from home
8) Voice message function
p>9) Smart home bus interface and control function (note: can be connected to the property Internet)
10) Management center electronic map alarm function
11) Power outage within 24 hours Normal operation (note: backup power supply)
(3) Arm/disarm linkage control.
System arming
In order to adapt to different situations, Ammins has two arming modes: arming at home and arming away from home: In the arming mode away from home, all defense zones (in the system It is preset during installation and can be set and modified by residents when using it) are activated and in an effective alert state. The protection range in this mode is the widest, so this mode is also called the full arm mode.
In the home arming mode, only the pre-selected defense zones (the four defense zones of living room emergency, master bedroom emergency, kitchen gas and living room smoke are preset during system installation) will be activated and enter the alert state. Intrusion defense areas within the range of residents' activities (such as intrusion in the living room, intrusion in the master bedroom, intrusion downstairs, intrusion upstairs, etc.) are generally blocked to prevent false triggers.
Alarm methods
Ammings has three alarm methods, namely siren (buzzer) alarm, telephone voice alarm and community network digital/voice alarm. For each sensor, the user can select its alarm method (one or more options are available, three will be preset during system installation). If the alarm siren is activated, the alarm will sound continuously for 99x10 seconds unless the user cancels it. For telephone alarms, the user can select the alarm phone number and the alarm voice description. When the user answers the alarm call, the preset alarm can be heard. Voice, at the same time, the user can also make an alarm through this phone. If no one answers the alarm call, or the user does not do any alarm processing after answering, Ammings will dial repeatedly until someone responds; community network alarm has three alarm methods. The most powerful among them, no matter how big a community is, Ammings will send all alarm information (including the address of the alarm unit, household information, information on triggered defense zones, etc.) to the owners within 1 second.
System disarm combination
The disarm function allows the user to disarm the system, usually by disabling the intrusion zone (defaulted during installation, user can reset). Ammings uses a password to disarm. If the password is correct, Ammings will enter the disarming state.
Ammings’ alarms are divided into two categories. One is the intrusion distress alarm. This type of alarm is generated by the trigger of anti-theft sensors (such as door sensors, infrared) or intrusion emergency buttons. This type of alarm The password must be used to deactivate the alarm. The other type is fire distress alarm and ambulance distress alarm. This type of alarm includes fire emergency button, ambulance emergency button, fire sensor, gas sensor, etc. In these situations, there is no threat of invasion or robbery. On the contrary, there is an urgent need for help from outsiders. Therefore, the simpler the method of disarming this type of alarm, the better.
In real life, there may be situations where thieves force residents to disarm. In order to ensure the safety of residents and effectively call the police, Amminster has a duress disarm function. There are two situations of duress disarming. One is that the system is in trigger delay or the system has already alarmed during duress. When the duress disarm password is entered, the trigger delay is cancelled, and the siren alarm and telephone alarm stop, creating the illusion that the system is disarmed. At the same time, The system sends a coercive emergency signal to the management center through the community network, so that residents can wait for rescue from relevant departments in a safe situation.
Alarm delay combination
Not all defense zones will alarm immediately after being triggered, such as the living room defense zone. When the user opens the door to go home and enters the living room, the user himself has triggered the defense zone. I believe no one wants to trigger the alarm when they return home. Ammins can set an appropriate delay time for each defense zone (the factory default setting is 60 seconds for the four intrusion defense zones of the living room, master bedroom, upstairs and downstairs, and no delay for other zones or sensors). When these defense zones are triggered, the system enters the alarm delay state. During the alarm delay period, Ammins will remind the user which defense zones are triggered, and the user can have sufficient time to enter the password to disarm the system. In this way, every time the user goes home and enters the password within the specified time, the system will not alarm.
Combined defense zone
Ammings has a multi-defense zone combination function, which can combine multiple defense zones to form a combined defense zone. The so-called defense zone refers to dividing the security prevention space into several independent defense areas. Several security sensors are arranged in this area. The sensors in these defense areas deploy and alarm according to certain logic. In the armed state, Ammins will intelligently monitor and judge the input status of the sensor. When the combined defense zone composed of sensors is triggered, the system will enter the alarm state. Because Ammins has intelligent judgment function, it can be more accurate. Effectively avoid false alarms.
Phone combination
Ammings supports remote control of home appliances and lights by phone. You can not only call the police, but also arm and disarm, as well as query and monitor home security status. , you can even set or change the alarm phone number by phone. Users can easily operate according to voice prompts.
Internet monitoring combination
Anywhere you can connect to the INTERNET, you can conveniently and remotely monitor your home status in real time through your Internet browser, and control your home lighting, electrical appliances, monitoring and security alarm systems. You can also find out more information.
Provide space for system integration in the future. The integration of TV and computer networks will be achievable in the near future, as well as the development of network appliances, which are all future development trends. Intelligent home integrated wiring The box provides space and interfaces for the integration and integration of various systems in the future, and provides the possibility for the upgrade and transformation of each system.
The intelligent lighting system provides the following practicalities:
Rich control methods:
Touch the panel: you can directly control local lights according to your usual habits; According to your needs, the switch can be arbitrarily set to the desired control object. For example, the button in the foyer can be used to turn off all the lights. In this way, when you leave home, you can turn off all the lights with one click, which is energy-saving, safe, and And very convenient.
Handheld remote control: In any room equipped with a button panel, use the infrared handheld remote control to control the switching status and dimming status of all networked lamps (regardless of whether the lamps are in this room or not); you do not need to enter Turn on the lights after entering the room. You can use the remote control to turn on the lights before entering any room. From now on, you no longer have to look for the light switch in the dark;
Phone remote control: through any An ordinary phone or mobile phone can realize remote control of lights or scenes. This function can be used to simulate the lighting conditions at home before returning home at night to confuse possible thieves;
Computer/Internet control: The lighting status can be controlled remotely through a local computer or a computer on the INTERNET.
Flexible scene switching:
You can design a lighting scene through the computer or remote control. Then, you can easily switch between various scenes through the scene buttons on the remote control. Switch between scenes.
You can define different scenes. In each scene, you can control any lights on and off, brightness, and even the working status of other electrical equipment (for example, guest mode) as needed.
Good dimming effect:
Use Motorola microprocessor to achieve precise control of lighting changes through programs;
The rate of brightness gradient can be set, It can be adjusted arbitrarily from 1 second to 3 minutes, providing a richer on-site lighting transformation effect;
Adopting advanced zero-crossing trigger voltage regulation technology, greatly reducing the interference of the dimming circuit on the power grid.
Tight integration with other systems:
You can easily associate your lighting system with other devices and respond to signals sent by other nodes; for example, when you turn on the TV in the living room , the lights in the living room automatically dim, all other lights turn off, etc.;
The lights can be set to be assisted by a certain light sensor to automatically adjust the illumination; the lighting system can adjust its status according to the brightness - when the sky changes When it is dark, the lights in the room will automatically turn on, etc.; it can be connected to the human body detection sensor, and the lights will automatically turn on when you pass by;
When controlled through INTERNET, you only need to install a software on the PC in the house. With the ASPI software, you can log in to your home computer through a WWW browser such as IE to complete remote monitoring of residential equipment anywhere you have access to the Internet. The interface is intuitive and easy to operate. Moreover, there is no need to install any client program at the Internet access point.
When performing remote control via telephone, you only need to connect the Ammins module in series between the telephone line and the original telephone, and you can make a call to your home phone through an ordinary telephone or mobile phone. After 5 rings (adjustable), Ammins automatically answers. If the user enters the correct password, they can enter the remote monitoring mode.
During remote monitoring, you can control all devices connected to the home network, such as the brightness and switch of each light in the lighting system, the start, stop and temperature of the air conditioner, the start and stop of the ventilation equipment, and even TV channels, volume, etc.
When controlling via phone, you can choose from a variety of preset scenes to easily complete remote operations of multiple devices.
The Ammins telephone remote control module also provides a remote alarm function. When an emergency occurs, the owner's phone number will be automatically dialed for voice prompts.
