  • Where should I ideally mount the smoke detector?
    A smoke detector should be installed in every bedroom, children's room and in the hallways that serve as escape routes. Place the smoke detector as centrally as possible in the room, in a horizontal position, on the ceiling. One smoke detector is only enough for a 60 square meter room and should always be installed in the middle of the ceiling . For larger rooms and special structural features, please note: L-shaped rooms larger than 60 square meters require two smoke detectors, one on each side. Large rooms that are interrupted by partition walls, partial walls or large furniture require a smoke detector for each area. Open connections that extend over several floors require a smoke detector at least on the upper level.
  • Can the heating also be integrated and intelligently controlled?
    Special radiator valves (radio valves) are available for this purpose, or an IO module that can be used to control the valves of the underfloor heating. This allows the indoor climate to be controlled throughout the house. Temperature profiles can be stored for each room and adapted to individual requirements. Window and door contacts detect when a window is open, for example. The radiator thermostat then regulates the radiator down. This also helps to save energy!
  • How much did it cost me to get started with the Smart Home?

Personal data is only used if you release it for a specific purpose and you want to access your Smart Home via the myTEM Smart Home App. Only then will data be sent over the Internet. Therefore, only the Smart Home Server at your home serves as storage space for your private data.
  • What is Z Wave?
    Z-Wave is the international radio standard for communication between devices in the intelligent house. Z-Wave enables secure, stable communication in which each message is reconfirmed by the recipient (two-way communication). All mains-operated devices forward messages if the direct radio link between transmitter and receiver is disrupted (routing). Thanks to Z-Wave, devices from different manufacturers can be used together in a wireless network. Thus, myTEM can be used with any Z-Wave devices from other manufacturers in the common Z-Wave wireless network. The myTEM Radio Server is a Z-Wave device with secure communication (S2) and uses the radio frequency of 868.4 MHz. If other devices also have the special, secure communication, data is exchanged in this secure mode. If the other devices do not support this mode, normal, unsecured communication is used for reasons of compatibility. More about Z-Wave at Wikipedia.
  • What does smart home alarm system mean?
    You can make your home more secure with the help of various actuators (door/window contact, motion detector). The motion detector alerts you to movements. The window and door contact triggers an alarm when a window or door is opened. If smoke develops, the myTEM Smart Home App reports immediately and raises an alarm. At the same time you will receive a push notification on your smartphone.

  • What is the range of the Z-Wave wireless network?
    It is recommended to have a Z-Wave device approximately every 10 meters or closer for maximum efficiency. While Z-Wave has a range of 100 meters outdoors, building materials reduce this range. The more line powered devices you have in your Z-Wave network the better as they also act as repeaters for extending the Z-Wave signal. Z-Wave's mesh network allows a Z-Wave signal to "jump" through other Z-Wave products to reach the target device to be controlled. If a wall is interfering with that signal, all you need is a simple Z-Wave repeater or other mains-powered device to bypass the wall and forward the signal to its final destination. Z-Wave supports up to 4 hops, so overall home coverage increases depending on the number of Z-Wave products on the network. The maximum range with 4 hops is approximately 200 meters.
  • What do I have to consider with the dimmer module if I want to dim LED lamps?"
    First of all, you have to make sure that the LED lamp can actually be dimmed. This is usually written on the packaging of the LED lamp. LED lamps from different manufacturers behave differently when it comes to dimming. The fine tuning can be done with the tool in the function block. The following settings are recommended: trailing edge for LED lamps, leading edge for incandescent lamps.
  • What should be considered when commissioning a wireless network?
    Place the myTEM server as centrally as possible in your house or In her flat. First add all devices to the server (inclusion process). Place the devices closest to the server first, then further away.
  • What should be considered when tying and untying?
    With the radios, care should be taken to ensure that they are always connected or disconnected via the menu. A factory reset for the radios is not recommended.
