Magic behind

Components

• Frontend: Setting custom lighting preferences and controlling smart windows directly if enabled.
• Person detector: Automatic people detection on the outside of the window. Darkens the windows if people are detected.
• Controlling: Control scripts for smart windows that can for instance be run from a Raspberry Pi.
• Beacon scanner: Detecting which person is in the office and at what distance of the windows.
