All lamps operated/automated together are grouped into a lighting zone regardless of number and type of
the installed lamps. A room typically has one or several lighting zones.
Shading zone
All shading products (blinds) operated/automated together are grouped into a shading zone regardless of
number and type of the installed shading products. A room typically has one or several shading zones.
Desigo room automation and room coordination
Application function structure
Specific functionality is set up for each zone of each technical installation: The application functions. For
Desigo room automation, this is supplemented by a room-wide function coordination called room
coordination.
Room coordination basically has two application functions:
● Cross-technical installation coordination to ensure smooth functional interplay of the various
installations
● Centralized, room-wide access point to operate and monitor a room
Cross-technical installation coordination
The application functions of the individual technical installations contain functionality required for technical
installation-specific control. Additional functionality assuming coordination with other technical
installations is part of room coordination. As a result, project-specific Desigo room automation requests
and changes can be carried out without changes to technical installation-specific application functions.
Examples for coordination functions are coordination of HVAC and shading functions and coordination of
shading and lighting functions.
Centralized, room-wide access point
Room coordination offers a centralized, room-wide access point to operate and monitor a room. This allows
users to enter common data for several technical installations only once and retrieve them as a group.
Examples:
● Predefinition of the room operating mode (across all technical installations)
● Predefinition of a scene for the entire room
● Queries for general occupancy
● Common alarm for system alarms
The room coordination default solution influences the following functions:
Room operating mode
Various sources influence and determine the room operating mode:
● Centralized commands from scheduler programs or manual intervention
● Local commands from presence detectors or scheduler program override
Room coordination offers a centralized, room-wide access point to operate and monitor a room operating
mode. The individual technical installations separately acquire all relevant information.
Scene
Scenes are defined to command several or all technical installations in a room via one single command,
e.g., brightness of a lighting zone, or blinds positions in each shading zone can be defined for each scene.
