SMARTHOME - MAKES LIFE MORE COMFORTABLE

A SmartHome has many advantages:

Networking and automation of a wide range of devices and functions (e.g. lighting or heating) noticeably increase living comfort. So it's no wonder that this technology is becoming increasingly popular! At the same time, more and more areas of everyday life are becoming smart, especially as smart home applications are also becoming easier and easier to integrate and operate.

With the help of the Homematic IP and Delta Dore systems, sectional garage doors from Novoferm have been smart for some time now.
Now, with new technology for integrating Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Mediola®, we are offering three further options to make voice control and the integration of the door into an existing SmartHome system easier.

YOUR GARAGE DOOR BECOMES SMART

A smart garage door not only simplifies opening and closing, it also enables many other functions such as automatic door status enquiry or smart control of the operator lighting. If you also want to benefit from these advantages, you need a Novoferm sectional garage door with operator and the right app from one of our SmartHome partners.

Which other components you need depends on which SmartHome system you choose:
For Homematic IP and Delta Dore, you need the SmartHome control centre of the respective system and the Novoferm plug-on module to connect the operator; for mediola®, you need the mediola® SmartHome control centre and the Novoferm WiFi module to connect the operator. The Novoferm WiFi module is sufficient for Amazon Alexa and Google Home.

All apps are available free of charge in the App Store for Apple and Android devices.
Once the app has been installed, the solution can be set up quickly and intuitively on your smartphone.

If you already have a SmartHome system from one of our partners, you can of course also integrate your sectional garage door into it.

SMARTHOME - CONTROL YOUR GARAGE DOOR VIA APP

You can use typical SmartHome systems (Homematic IP, DeltaDore, Mediola, Google Home, Amazon Alexa) for the intelligent control of garage door openers from Novoferm(NovoPort®, Novomatic 443, Novomatic Speed 573 S).

APP CONTROL OF THE DOOR AS A STAND-ALONE APPLICATION OR AS PART OF YOUR SMART HOME

OHNE SMARTHOME-SYSTEM

An existing SmartHome system is not a prerequisite for the app or voice control of your sectional garage door. All you need to do is set up the Novoferm plug-on or WiFi module, a standard router and, if necessary, the SmartHome control centre of the desired SmartHome system to control Novoferm sectional garage doors or operators via app or voice command. Anyone who is still considering making their home "smart" can take the first step with the garage door control system.

WITH EXISTING SMARTHOME SYSTEM

Once you have experienced the benefits of a SmartHome system, you will never want to do without it again. The increasing automation of the home provides more convenience and security in everyday life. And the garage is no exception. Anyone who chooses a Novoferm sectional garage door can easily integrate this as a new function into their existing system. Our technology is compatible with common SmartHome systems and all functions can be controlled using an app.

SMART GARAGE DOOR OPENERS

SMART NOVOFERM GARAGE DOOR OPERATORS

If you want your sectional garage door to be smart, you need an operator that is compatible with the intelligent technology of our SmartHome partners. Novoferm offers various operators for this purpose: NovoPort®, Novomatic 443 and Novomatic Speed Type 573 S.

All drives are characterised by contemporary design, high energy efficiency, low operating costs and reliable technology.

Control of Novoferm sectional garage doors via app is possible for new purchases of the garage door operators listed here and their predecessor models (from year of manufacture 2016).

NovoPort® Speed operator for sectional doors, side mounting 

Novomatic operators for sectional and up-and-over doors, ceiling mounting

Operator for roller shutters,
Side mounting

GATE CONTROL FUNCTIONS VIA APP

The app or voice control makes the sectional garage door easier to use in a variety of ways. In addition to opening and closing the door via app, the door status query, control of the operator lighting and the option to automatically move the door to the ventilation position or close it again increase user convenience.

OPENING AND CLOSING THE GARAGE DOOR

Sectional garage doors have never been so easy to operate:
Whether you are at work or on holiday - you can open and close your door conveniently with a finger movement or voice command. Do you have two Novoferm garage doors? All the better! The apps also allow you to control two different doors separately.

GOAL STATUS ENQUIRY

Sectional garage doors can always be controlled reliably and transparently using a smartphone, tablet or voice assistant. Users can also call up the door status, i.e. whether the door is open or closed, at any time and regardless of their location.

LED DRIVE LIGHTING

Activate the lighting on the operator, with or without door movement, simply via app. All Novoferm garage door openers are equipped with highly efficient LED lighting. This light source is 13 times brighter than conventional alternatives with the same wattage, consumes less power and is also characterised by a long service life.

VENTILATION POSITION IMPROVES AIR CIRCULATION IN THE GARAGE

Exhaust fumes and moisture affect the air quality in your garage. Regular ventilation provides a remedy here, ensures sufficient air circulation and prevents mould growth. The door can be conveniently set to the ventilation position via app/voice command, i.e. it opens by 10 cm and allows air exchange.

VOICE CONTROL WITH AMAZON ALEXA AND GOOGLE HOME

With the Amazon Alexa and Google Home systems, you can now operate your Novoferm sectional garage door even more conveniently using voice control. Even if you already have a SmartHome system from another provider, you can integrate Alexa or Google.

NEW: VOICE CONTROL OF THE STORE VIA GOOGLE OR AMAZON ALEXA

FAST INTEGRATION WITH THE INNOVATIVE WIFI MODULE FROM NOVOFERM

Anyone who chooses a Novoferm sectional garage door can easily integrate the door control with the new Novoferm WiFi module into the world's largest SmartHome systems "Amazon Alexa" and "Google Home".

Only the Novoferm WiFi module is required for integration.

You do not need a separate SmartHome centre or a gateway.
Intelligent operation is therefore not dependent on a local SmartHome system.

The Novoferm WiFi module for the smart control of garage doors can be easily retrofitted to all operators built in 2016 or later and is simply connected to the operator via a mini-USB. No additional hardware is required.

Novoferm garage doors thus simply become part of the Amazon Alexa or Google world.

Simply open and close Novoferm sectional garage doors via the Novoferm operator using the Amazon Alexa or Google app and their voice assistants ("Amazon Alexa", "Google Assistant", "Google Nest Hub"...) or query the door status.

NEW: ALL-IN-ONE SOLUTION WITH MEDIOLA

MEDIOLA® TURNS SMART DEVICES INTO A SMARTHOME: INDEPENDENT OF MANUFACTURER, BRAND AND STANDARD

With the Mediola® All-in-One solution, devices (heating thermostat, door/window contact ...) from a wide range of SmartHome manufacturers can be easily bundled in a SmartHome system, automated and operated with a Mediola® app.

The result is an intelligent and customer-friendly all-in-one solution that networks the wireless technologies of various well-known manufacturers with widely used wireless systems and standards (e.g. Homematic IP, Nuki, Velux, Gardena, Schüco, etc.) in a Mediola® SmartHome control centre and cloud services.

You can find all brands that are compatible with Mediola® at
www.mediola.com/works-with-mediola.

This opens up countless possibilities for designing a customised SmartHome, regardless of the manufacturer of the SmartHome components.

To integrate Novoferm sectional garage doors into the Mediola® SmartHome system, Novoferm only requires the new Novoferm WiFi module or the Novoferm Homematic IP module.

The prerequisites for the smart control of Novoferm sectional garage doors via app or voice are a Novoferm operator (from year of manufacture 2016), the new Novoferm WiFi module and a light barrier that recognises obstacles and automatically interrupts the closing process.

CREATE YOUR OWN SCENARIOS

A major advantage of smart technology is that you can customise your environment and devices to your exact needs. Garage doors are no exception. With the help of customised scenarios, the garage door adapts to the everyday life of its users. For example, security scenarios can be set up to protect the car as well as entrances to the house.

FEEL SAFE ALL ROUND

A smart sectional garage door not only contributes to your convenience, but also to your security. You can integrate your garage door into your smart security and monitoring technology, depending on which components you have.
An example:
To deter burglars, you can specify that whenever the garage door is opened after 8 p.m., the exterior lighting switches on and the surveillance camera takes a photo.

You can find detailed example scenarios at
www.youtube.com/NovofermVideos

OPTIMUM VENTILATION

Would you like your garage door to open automatically if the humidity in the garage gets too high?
Then set a corresponding ventilation scenario! Specify that the garage door automatically moves to the ventilation position when sensors report a corresponding humidity level.
If the door is not closed manually, it closes after 60 minutes at the latest. This prevents it from remaining open accidentally!

You can find detailed example scenarios at
www.youtube.com/NovofermVideos

Basically, the steps below are similar for all systems. Any special features are explained in the descriptions provided.

NECESSARY COMPONENTS

Sectional door, operator, standard router with internet connection, SmartHome app and, if applicable, the partner's voice assistant. Depending on the SmartHome system, you may also need the following components:

  • Homematic IP and Delta Dore:
    plug-in module from Novoferm, SmartHome centre (gateway) Homematic IP/ Delta Dore
  • mediola®:
    WiFi module from Novoferm, SmartHome centre from mediola® or Homematic IP module
  • Amazon Alexa and Google Home:
    WiFi module from Novoferm

Once the door and operator have been installed by a qualified Novoferm sales partner, the smart garage door components can be installed.

SYSTEMS WITH SMARTHOME CONTROL CENTRE: INTEGRATION OF THE SMARTHOME CONTROL CENTRE

In the home:
The SmartHome centre controls the communication between the individual SmartHome components. To do this, it must first be connected to the power supply and to the router via LAN cable. The internet connection is necessary so that the control centre can also be operated remotely.

Please follow the specific instructions of the respective manufacturer! The control centre must be initially configured in the apps of the SmartHome partners in accordance with the instructions so that the Novoferm sectional garage door can be operated.

DRIVE CONNECTION

In the garage:
To integrate the operator into the system, connect the plug-on or WiFi module to the mini-USB interface in the operator. You will find the connection point when you open the cover flap of the operator.

Once plugged in, the module automatically goes into "learning mode" for a limited period of time. The module must then be removed and plugged in again.

Note:
For Homematic IP, Delta Dore and mediola® this is step 2, for Amazon and Google the installation begins with the connection of the drive.

SETUP APP

Start theHomematic IP, Delta Dore, mediola® app, assign the plug-on or WiFi module to the SmartHome centre and activate the "Teach in devices" option. The module is now displayed as a new device. With the cross-device SmartHome system from mediola® , you also have the option of integrating other compatible devices regardless of the manufacturer.

Alexa and Google:
Connect the WiFi module to your own WLAN, create a Novoferm account, add the WiFi module there and link it to the respective system. Once the operator has been learnt, it is assigned to different categories/rooms (outside, garage, etc.). This is necessary for operation and automation (lighting, alarm scenarios, etc.).
