ABB has showcased its enhanced MyBuildings portal at IFA 2018, which features added functionality from Miele and Bosch, designed to help homeowners manage and control a wide range of automated home and building services. To provide greater convenience for homeowners, ABB is extending the appeal and functionality of its MyBuildings portal, a secure online platform powered by ABB`s cloud-based, industry-leading portfolio of digital solutions, ABB Ability. By partnering with mozaiq, an ecosystem seamlessly connecting consumer devices and services, the updated portal will now offer a wider range of digital services from leading manufacturers.
Bringing all appliances and functional devices together on a single interface, the mozaiq platform is the translator behind the scenes, making sure all products can work together in any possible combination. Its ground-breaking technology enables interoperability between all providers in the smart building sector with less time, effort, and cost. Services can easily be booked on the MyBuildings portal. With the new functionality, Miele and Bosch (Home Connect) home appliances can be easily integrated and controlled via the ABB-free@home system. ABB-free@ home is designed to transform homes into intelligent spaces and allows users to control up to 65 functions including lights, blinds, heating, air conditioning, scenes and door communication from a switch on the wall, a laptop or smartphone. This allows customers to expand their portfolio of smart home solutions to meet their individual needs.
Bernhard Doerstel, Senior Vice President, ABB Building Automation said, “ABB’s vision for home automation is on delivering the best possible product for installers and the ultimate smart home experience for the end user. By collaborating with mozaiq, we are delighted to be amongst the first to integrate additional market leading devices into our portfolio of home automation services.”
“We give our customers the freedom to combine and connect their products, so that smart home solutions, home appliances and services work happily together,” stated Bernd Beimdick, CTO mozaiq.
