string(1692) "The mobile chicken coop operates largely self-sufficiently by means of a photovoltaic system, Victron inverter and Pylontech battery.
The battery status is read out via the RS485 extension. When the battery is fully charged, the mobile chicken house operates in automatic mode - which the farmer can set individually. If the battery becomes less, the power consumption in the coop is automatically reduced.
The automatic light control in the mobile chicken house is based on the position of the sun or the brightness outside. To ensure that the chickens maintain their laying performance for an entire year, the RGBW function can be used to cater specifically to the chickens' sensibilities. In the morning, for example, the sunrise can be simulated with yellowish light, and the sunset with reddish light. Reddish light, for example, helps the laying hens to become calmer.
Ventilation is controlled by 0 - 10 V fans and is based on the temperature and CO2 content in the house. In addition, if the temperature in the house rises too high, the farmer receives an alarm message on his smartphone.
The feed and water levels are also monitored with Loxone. If the supply is only sufficient for about two days, the farmer is notified via push notification and mail. In addition, the feed is transported into the barn via three different motors. The nest and outlet flaps in the mobile chicken coop also open and close automatically. The outlet flaps react according to the weather. The outlet flaps close automatically after sunset, so that uninvited nocturnal visitors cannot enter the chicken coop."

The mobile chicken coop of Mitterbauer Stahlbau GmbH proves that with Loxone there are (almost) no limits. Thanks to the fully automated control system, the farmer can save valuable time and the chickens are also provided with the greatest comfort at any time of the day or night.
Solution
The mobile chicken coop operates largely self-sufficiently by means of a photovoltaic system, Victron inverter and Pylontech battery.
The battery status is read out via the RS485 extension. When the battery is fully charged, the mobile chicken house operates in automatic mode - which the farmer can set individually. If the battery becomes less, the power consumption in the coop is automatically reduced.
The automatic light control in the mobile chicken house is based on the position of the sun or the brightness outside. To ensure that the chickens maintain their laying performance for an entire year, the RGBW function can be used to cater specifically to the chickens' sensibilities. In the morning, for example, the sunrise can be simulated with yellowish light, and the sunset with reddish light. Reddish light, for example, helps the laying hens to become calmer.
Ventilation is controlled by 0 - 10 V fans and is based on the temperature and CO2 content in the house. In addition, if the temperature in the house rises too high, the farmer receives an alarm message on his smartphone.
The feed and water levels are also monitored with Loxone. If the supply is only sufficient for about two days, the farmer is notified via push notification and mail. In addition, the feed is transported into the barn via three different motors. The nest and outlet flaps in the mobile chicken coop also open and close automatically. The outlet flaps react according to the weather. The outlet flaps close automatically after sunset, so that uninvited nocturnal visitors cannot enter the chicken coop.
We were looking for a system that can be individually networked with a wide variety of things, be it battery, inverter or ventilation control. Thanks to the various interfaces, Loxone is ideally suited for this. In addition, the remote diagnosis via the Loxone app is a real highlight for the farmer.
