The winner of Ny Teknik contest Sweden’s smartest home is Erik Johansson on Öland. On Wednesday afternoon, he received the price of Elmässan in Kista.
A happy Erik Johansson was congratulated by New Technique-chief Susanna Baltscheffsky on the main stage at Elmässan in Kista.
Erik Johansson’s many proprietary solutions have to impress the jury. They justify the victory that he “turned an old house into a smart home where technology is integrated in a cost effective and inventive way.”
– Very funny! It shows that I’m on the right track. Although most are very interested, there is the occasional idiot who explained me, says Erik Johansson
He works as a lift technician and has worked with its smart home systems at play since the family with a wife and two daughters bought the house five years ago.
Huset controlled with an app that Erik Johansson made. To make it easy to use display housing the different floors in a 3D model. Then just click on a room and put on such lighting or music.
The app also the status of the floor heating and temperatures in the room, in the refrigerator and freezer. Erik Johansson can see where in the program the washing machine and dryer are, and request a text message when they have gone clear. Even the locks to the front doors can be controlled using the app. Handy if he sits in the car and wondering if he locked the door.
The house can also be monitored and controlled from several large touchscreens. One sits in the hall immediately as you enter the house. Each room also sits control panels and keypads Erik Johansson has built itself to fit in the house which is from 1890. Ir-detectors both inside and out keeps track of whether someone is nearby and controls the lights.
Although smoke alarms are connected. Then the alarm will know Erik Johansson directly into any room. At the same time all the lights throughout the house, the screens lit up, and there is even the family to gather.
The victory means, except honor, a gift voucher of 10 000 of the ELFA and that over a two year period to be “hemtestare” of IKEA’s products for the smart home.

Facts Jury appointed the winner
The jury that appointed the winner in Ny Teknik’s contest ” Sweden’s smartest home “consists of:
Bear Blocks, Category Manager IKEA smart home and lighting
Henry Janzén, acting president ELFA Sweden
Karl Emil Nikka, technology training manager, Kjell & amp; Company
Susanna Baltscheffsky, editor of New Technology
The jury said:
” Erik Johansson has turned an old house into a smart home where technology is integrated in a cost effective and inventive way. It is a complete and coherent solution where the user is in focus. Well thought out technology choices have resulted in a self-governing system to a reasonable cost. “
Facts Some of Erik Johansson’s smart home solutions
The control system consists of a Beckhoff PLC.
The heating is with a geothermal heat pump. The heat is taken from a storage tank. In every room there is a temperature sensor that controls the hydronic floor heating individually in each room.
Magnetic sensors on all windows. If you open a window so lowered while the preset target temperature in the room so no heat rushes.
Elen monitored of system that sends an alert by SMS if one phase is missing or if any of the five GFCI breakers tripped. Electricity consumption of all appliances, a total of 34 meters, measured and logged. This means that it is possible to see the consumption and cost of individual devices.
The control system reads the current status from the washing machine and dryer, and send text messages when the program is gone of course.
Wireless fire detection system that identifies the smoke alarms alerts, send text messages while all lights on throughout the house.
Monitoring the temperature in fridge freezer. They report their temperatures in real time to the system and sends alerts via SMS if it gets too hot.
Motor lock the outer doors linked to the control computer. Access control with RFID, code lock or mobile.
The doorbell triggers a synthetic voice in the house who speaks about who like coming home. All lighting inside and there are controllable. Sitting IR sensors in all rooms which makes it possible to make the desired presets. Example: IR sensors dims the light in the room where no people in 30 minutes. Or. Go somewhere into the kitchen then be a certain lamp light up and stay lit for 30 seconds. In order to blend in in the environment, Erik has made its own switch for each room. The top button lights ceiling light, the other window lights, with a third button controls all controlled sockets and a fourth quench it all the lights in the room. The system remembers last setting so when you light again so have all the lights dimmer same attitude as before.
temperature and lighting in different colors around the pool can be steered. Proprietary app for both Apple and Android for control and monitoring of heating, lighting, audio, latches etc. To make it easy for the user interface is a 3D model of the house. Also three flush-mounted touch screens where the house can be controlled and it is possible to generate data on, for example, the power consumption of different appliances. Custom-made control panels based on the Arduino in every room with built-in IR detector that notices if someone stands in front of the panel. The panel displays the temperature in the room should be set-temperature and power go-around on the floor heating in real time.
Custom Made multirumförstärkare with 32 channels. Each room listen to what they want to play from the phone or listening to the TV. Controlled by the application or control panel. Hidden speakers in the bathroom, for example. Concealed cabling in the floor and walls.
Other smart “analog” features laundry chute from the 3rd floor and chutes for returnable cans from the kitchen.
