The Spanish company Idemo Motors has a wide range of solutions within Idehome, your wireless home automation ecosystem. It is a home automation environment that allows the control of devices with different types of protocols and standards., mediante smartphone, tablet and voice assistants. Supported protocols are IDRM (Idemo's radio protocol), IP Wi-Fi, infrared and Zigbee. Each of them is applied to a different type of product according to the needs., as is the case of the IDRM protocol for the Blu engines in this article. In the words of Xavier Garcia, Commercial Director of the firm, have all these compatible standards within the system, allows us to offer much more comprehensive solutions for home control, unifying solar protection with systems such as sensors under the same interface, lighting or air conditioning.

The range of Blu motors integrate the aforementioned IDRM radio protocol, and combine it with highly reliable limit switches, making these motors the entry range to the Idehome home automation ecosystem. The union of the IDRM protocol with the mechanical limit switches gives these motors unbeatable ease of installation and configuration, of very high reliability, and a price that makes a home automation installation an economically accessible option, points out Xavier Garcia.

The IDRM radio protocol equips the Idehome hub (link between the engines and the app) 300m range, what allows, in most cases, control all the motors in a home with a single hub. Besides, The protocol consists of 6 plots of 8 bytes. Los 8 bytes that construct each complete message and that allow communication between the sender and the receiver are made up of 4 identification bytes, 2 channel data bytes, 1 function byte and 1 byte del CRC. The latter checks that the frame is not corrupted.

To engine characteristics, You have to combine the different versions available within the Blu range, which make it the ideal entry option.

• BLU 35: motors designed for blinds and designed to be used on octagonal axis of 40. Available in 10Nm.
• BLU 45: motors designed for blinds or awnings, to be used in different types of axle, starting from 50mm to 80mm. It is available in different powers between 15Nm and 50Nm.

These versions are designed to cover the minimum needs within the sun protection and enclosure sector., and allow Idehome home automation to be introduced to control blinds, awnings and curtains in virtually any home.

Thanks to the compatibility of the Blu range motors with the Idehome wireless home automation system, Idemo allows you to insert blinds, voice controlled awnings and curtains. The Idehome system works with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri from Apple, the main voice assistants on the market, being able to give orders like, For example: “Ok Google, raise the blinds in the dining room. As mentioned earlier in the article, Blu motors are the ideal entry range to the Idehome ecosystem, therefore, They are also the perfect entry range to integrate blinds, awnings and curtains to voice assistants.

With the expansion of Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri in Spain, We have detected a very significant increase in requests from end users to control motors using voice. Blu engines offer professionals a perfect solution to attract these users., with attractive prices and premium features, says Xavier Garcia.
