PRESS RELEASE<br />
A fanfare for “B-<strong>Tronic</strong>”<br />
<strong>Becker</strong>’s home automation system presented at a special event<br />
The moment we had all been waiting for finally arrived in March: <strong>Becker</strong>-<br />
<strong>Antriebe</strong> showcased its new “B-<strong>Tronic</strong>” home automation system at a special<br />
event in Herborn, Germany. The company has thus taken a step in a new<br />
direction: The new home automation system is not only designed to program<br />
and control roller shutter and awning drives – the core products of <strong>Becker</strong>-<br />
<strong>Antriebe</strong> –, but also lights, radiators and other electronically controllable<br />
appliances. Special feature: All the devices indicate their status. This allows,<br />
for example, the user to see on the screen whether a roller shutter is fully<br />
closed or if it has encountered an obstacle, such as a forgotten flower pot.<br />
Premiere in Herborn<br />
The well-known local radio and TV presenter Achim<br />
van der Meulen unveiled the new product together<br />
with <strong>Becker</strong> CEO Dieter Fuchs. Members of the project<br />
team then took the time to answer any questions<br />
about B-<strong>Tronic</strong>’s performance and special features.<br />
“It is the first time that we have presented a product<br />
on this scale – and it was a huge success,” says<br />
Dieter Fuchs.<br />
Future-proof due to a standard interface<br />
Bernd Naumann, head of development at <strong>Becker</strong>, praised his team of<br />
experts: “The teamwork was amazing. Everyone gave their absolute best<br />
– and that in the short space of time available.” A main advantage of the<br />
system is the wireless communication: “B-<strong>Tronic</strong> is based on future-proof<br />
standards for radio-controlled home automation which have proven their<br />
reliability for many years now. Therefore, a whole range of products from<br />
other manufacturers are compatible with B-<strong>Tronic</strong>.” This means that every<br />
appliance - from lamps to radiators - can be programmed and controlled via<br />
B-<strong>Tronic</strong>. The system is absolutely future-proof.<br />

The “from anywhere” control<br />
The new home automation system can be fully controlled via the<br />
CentralControl. A WLAN connection is required for operation via a smartphone,<br />
tablet PC or home computer. It is not necessary to register the devices<br />
online with <strong>Becker</strong>. However, <strong>Becker</strong> also allows users to control their homes<br />
from a different location, for instance from a smartphone while on holiday: All<br />
the customer has to do is to establish remote access via the Internet.<br />
<strong>Becker</strong> provides this service free of charge via an encrypted Internet connection.<br />
“Customers decide for themselves how much comfort they want and<br />
whether the CentralControl should be operated via the Internet or not. “At<br />
<strong>Becker</strong> we take the protection of our customers’ data very seriously indeed,”<br />
says marketing manager Uwe Happel.<br />
Live on the Internet<br />
The curiosity of specialist retailers about the new product was well and truly<br />
aroused before the premiere. Under the motto “B curious” – <strong>Becker</strong> sent<br />
small pieces of information on the new product to authorised dealers as a<br />
sort of countdown to the special event. The show could then be followed via<br />
live stream throughout Germany on 5 March.<br />
“<strong>Becker</strong> has been committed to realising the benefits of new media technology<br />
for a long time,” claims the managing partner Hans-Joachim Wiegelmann.<br />
Before adding: “We use this medium to offer our specialist partners quick<br />
and comprehensive support – in particular for the new home automation system.”<br />
Furthermore, specialist dealers can also arrange an appointment with<br />
<strong>Becker</strong> representatives and witness the benefits of B-<strong>Tronic</strong> for themselves.<br />
“It is essential that our specialist partners receive the necessary support. At<br />
<strong>Becker</strong> we really live up to our motto: ‘Together it’s easier’.”<br />
