Power Supplies for Home and Building Automation

Smart homes and buildings require power supplies for sensors, actuators, communication nodes, and controllers. To meet this demand, RECOM provides a wide range of AC/DC products available in encapsulated, open frame, and DIN-rail formats.

These products are cost-effective, reliable, and are rated from 2W to 300W peak. They come with input voltage ranges and all the necessary approvals for global home and building automation applications.

Modern smart homes boast a variety of features, such as connected multimedia, lighting control, security systems, HVAC management, and occupancy simulation, among others. Typically, all equipment is wirelessly connected and can be securely controlled remotely via phone apps, offering both convenience and energy savings.

This equipment requires power supplies, ranging from a few watts for wall-mounted temperature controls to hundreds of watts for remote-controlled garage doors. While some simple nodes might use batteries, most devices operate on AC mains. RECOM stands out as the preferred supplier for these power supplies.

Commercial and industrial buildings are increasingly adopting automation for benefits such as energy savings, enhanced security, convenience, and improved operational efficiency. Similar to home automation, these systems require AC/DC power supplies to support the electronic equipment involved. However, they also need to withstand more challenging, harsh and less controlled environments.

Often, these systems must operate up to 277VAC, and the components must be both cost-effective and reliable, with a long service life. RECOM's AC/DC power supplies are ideal for these applications, available in encapsulated, open-frame, and DIN-rail formats. They perform well across a wide temperature range, and many models are rated for Over Voltage Category III (OVC III) for enhanced immunity to mains transients.
