3. Smart comfort with the Gira System 3000 touch top unit

You (or your loved ones) already have the Gira System 3000 installed and would like to explore all of its possibilities? With a special touch top unit, switching on lights or adjusting the blinds becomes even more intuitive. Similar to a smartphone display, a simple tap is enough to tell your home what to do. With one swipe, you can dim the lights to your preferred level of brightness. Once you’ve set the mood, a memory function enables you to store those exact settings and reactivate them anytime. The Gira System 3000 touch top unit’s minimalist design is available in many different colour variants, ranging from creamy white to lack matt. An illuminated surface makes it easy to find the right spot on the wall at night.

4. Smart gardening: mini green house for the kitchen

Imagine you could harvest fresh herbs and veggies all year round – without even stepping outside. What sounds like an oxymoron is much more feasible than you might think: thanks to the Smart Garden from Click & Grow, you can grow your own crop even in a tiny flat in the city. An automated system ensures that the plants have just the right amount of water, oxygen, and nutrients to flourish. The lighting is controlled either manually or based on individual schedules that you configure via the Click & Grow app for Android und iOS. The app also offers detailed instructions and practical tips to guide you along. A starter pack includes seeds for three batches of tomato, basil, and lettuce, respectively.
