12. Wireless technology BidCoS™

BidCoS (Bidirectional Communication Standard) is a new wireless standard that has been specially developed for wireless control of sensors and actors for house automation. It allows you to build an entire house controlling system with compatible components: switch/dim lights and other electrical appliances, air-conditioners (heating, cooling, airing, weather measuring technology, energy management, access control, protection against burglary, safety devices, etc.). Speedy bi-directional communication (wireless signals that are sent are confirmed by the receiver) increases the functional safety and thus form the basis for a mul- titude of options for remote control / remote monitoring.

Bi-directional data transfer of WS 550 US to TX 550 and all additional sensors works according to BidCoS Standard.
