Clever Devices and Designs (CDD), a Pretoria-based company, has developed the Fugue Controller 10P using the GSM/GPRS communication system called RLOG (remote link over GPRS). The controller is designed to improve the way users manage their homes and offices, and to conserve electricity and reduce utility bills.

“Plug in the Fugue controller, SIM card, the sensors or relays, set up your rules and the data will transfer via the GSM/GPRS network to the Internet interface,” says Cilliers Du Preez, design engineer at Clever Devices and Designs. “This system is on the Internet and can be accessed through either your PC or your cellphone. Fugue technology is a rules-based system and is highly flexible. You can manage or control your home or business using a proactive, intelligent, integrated system.”

Users can monitor or control a variety of electronic devices and electrical appliances, including geysers. If the user accidentally leaves a heater on and goes on holiday, for example, as long as the heater is connected to the Fugue unit using a relay, the heater can be switched off remotely, or rules can be set up in such a way that the heater will be switched off at a certain time, or when the room gets to a certain temperature, or when there are no occupants.

The SIM card used in the Fugue controller can be provided by any of the cellular service providers in South Africa, so that the customer can select the service provider with the best coverage in the particular area that the Fugue will be used. To enjoy access to the Internet, a monthly access fee will be charged.
