Extra Free is a wireless (radio) system for control of electrical appliances at homes, offices, businesses. The system consists of a large group of cooperating devices operating in 868 MHz band.
The manufacturer of Exta Free system components is Zamel company, which started production in the field of building automation already in 2006. In 2010, the company introduced the Exta Free system that got the Grand Prize of the IX International Trade Fair ELEKTROTECHNIKA 2011 and since then has been continually gaining recognition among customers.
The control unit enables users to control the lighting, heating, air conditioning, window blinds and other devices in the home, apartment or workplace not only by radio transmitters, but also from smartphones and tablets. Compared with other solutions, Exta Free systems can be fast and easily installed, are cheap and can be freely extended with new items. The management and operation of the systems is very intuitive.
The idea of EXTA FREE intelligent wireless control systems is to provide the users with maximum comfort in their homes and businesses. This innovative technology is available for every budget and offers new dimension in the field of security and ease of life, all thanks to the knowledge and experience of the designers fascinated by the concept of intelligent buildings.
System components
- Control unit
- The EFC-02 Mini Controller after connection with a Wi-Fi router allows for control of all EXTA FREE receivers/actuators via mobile devices. Apart from the function of "virtual transmitters", the EFC-02 unit can execute routines called "scenes", time functions, and has the possibility to monitor states of the deployed sensors. The wireless communication with the system is carried out at frequency of 868.32 MHz. The configuration and control of the system is performed via free application installed and run on a mobile device.
