Imagine a home that not only responds to your needs but also actively contributes to energy savings. Modern smart architecture integrates technologies that ensure optimal consumption, rational use of resources, and greater living comfort. The ABB-free@home® system embodies these principles – enabling every house, apartment, or building to become an energy-efficient environment without the need for complex installations or wiring. Whether it’s a new build or a renovation, this system offers a flexible, simple solution for automating lighting, heating, blinds, and other consumers – ensuring maximum energy savings with minimal construction work.
ABB OneTouch – The Command Center of an Energy-Conscious Home
At the heart of the system lies ABB OneTouch – an intelligent control panel that enables centralized management of all home functions. Through its seven-inch screen, users can control lighting, room temperature, ventilation, music, and even monitor security cameras or the video intercom. Thanks to the integrated System Access Point, the entire system can be commissioned via an app without additional software.
OneTouch connects up to 150 devices, allowing complete home automation with precise monitoring and optimization of electricity and heat consumption. The device supports the Matter standard, the universal language of smart devices, enabling seamless integration with a wide range of energy-efficient systems – from LED lighting to smart home appliances and HVAC devices. In this way, ABB OneTouch becomes the brain of the building, coordinating all consumers and contributing to the reduction of overall energy consumption.

Wireless Revolution – Smart Renovation
Without Construction Work In energy retrofitting projects, a frequent challenge is how to modernize electrical installations without extensive work or additional costs. The wireless version of the ABBfree@home® system makes this possible – device installation requires no additional wiring, wall drilling, or replacement of existing infrastructure.
Smart Switches operate without batteries, using energy-harvesting technology – they generate energy themselves when pressed. This eliminates cables and batteries, reduces fire load, and simplifies installation. The solution is ideal for energy-efficient renovations of apartments, houses, and public buildings, aiming to improve comfort and reduce energy consumption without additional construction work.
A System That Grows – From Simple Solutions to Complete Automation
ABB-free@home® enables gradual system expansion—from basic functions such as lighting and blind control to complex systems that manage heating, cooling, and ventilation. This enables households or business spaces to evolve according to budget and needs, while improving energy efficiency step by step. The system’s flexibility makes it ideal for modular construction, prefabricated buildings, and smart energy-efficient facilities that require adaptive solutions and digital energy monitoring.
Smart Scenarios for Rational Energy Consumption
Imagine lights dimming when you leave a room, heating automatically lowering during the night, or blinds descending to prevent overheating in summer. All these actions contribute to reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions, while maintaining maximum user comfort. ABB-free@home® enables such scenarios to be set automatically, adapting to daily routines and weather conditions. In this way, the building becomes an active participant in energy efficiency — not just a consumer.
Smart Technology for a Sustainable Future
Smart buildings are no longer a luxury but a necessity in an era where energy and ecology are central themes of modern living. By integrating systems like ABBfree@home®, architecture becomes not only functional and aesthetically advanced but also energy intelligent. Every automated lighting scene, every precise temperature adjustment, and every kilowatt-hour saved represents a step toward a more sustainable future.
