All the devices in a room can be seen at a glance. All the functions can be operated directly from this display – quickly and without any detours. Various icons and meters display the status of certain functions, so occupants can immediately recognise whether emails have been received or how many lights are currently active in a room, for example.

Detailed information and operating elements do not open on another level, but rather within a clear pop-up menu above the current list view. This completely eliminates the annoying need to click through countless menu items – and makes operation even more convenient.

Users can compile a customised list of their frequently used functions under the 'Favourites' menu item. Predefined light scenes and temperature settings can be saved here, for example.

Various functions can be filtered depending on their state and displayed across all rooms. So, for instance, all open windows can be listed before leaving the home, so that nothing is left to chance.

Using the 'MyTouch' function, each and every user can set up their individual start screens – by uploading their own background images and placing frequently used functions in the centre, for example.

Starting your day with your favourite song or being greeted by it when you come home in the evening: Thanks to the integrated media player controller, occupants always have the right music in their ears.

See who is at the door straight away and open it with a single finger. Audiovisual door communication can be easily integrated into the Gira Interface using a plug-in. Convenient operation also takes place using the Gira Control Clients or on the PC.

The Gira HomeServer ensures greater security within your own four walls by facilitating the integration of several cameras. You can see in a single step who’s in the garden or at the gate using the user interface.

The Gira HomeServer continuously records all operating and consumption data and evaluates it. So even long-term trends can be easily analysed, comparative calculations made and potential savings identified faster.

With the energy module function, occupants can always keep an eye on their gas, water or electricity consumption. Using the Gira Interface, current consumption values can be easily and clearly compared with data from the previous year to check whether everything is literally in the green range.

Is it sunny or rainy? A glance at the Gira Interface also provides a quick answer here. In addition to displaying data from an integrated weather station, an international weather service with current data is also available free of charge via the HomeServer.

Emails can be centrally called up, read and sorted with the Gira Interface. News reports and blog feeds from various online suppliers can also be displayed in RSS 2.0 format.
