  • a correspondingly established interface can be provided in each case at the communication device.
  • the communication device can be set up in such a way that it standardizes or converts the different data formats for the at least one sanitary device and / or converts or specifies standardized data formats of the sanitary device into the different data formats of the operating devices. This allows information or
  • the communication device is in particular configured to receive, process and / or send at least one of the following data formats of the operating devices: Bluetooth, (in particular IEEE 802.15), Z-Wave, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, RFID ( Radio Frequency Identification ), Powerline, Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands, Ethernet, NAS ( Network Attached Storage File Server), Upnp ( Universal Plug and Play ), IPTV ( Internet Protocol Television ), ...
  • the communication device is set up to communicate with an Android or iOS smartphone or tablet.
  • the communication device may be the control center, which makes it possible to control a large number of sanitary facilities, for example via an app.
  • the control via a cloud, including integration into a smart home control, possible.
  • the communication device is in particular configured to receive, process and / or send at least several of the following data formats of the sanitary facilities (and / or electronic equipment): binary (NPN, PNP, push / pull), IO-Link (in particular IEC 61131-9) , Bluetooth (especially IEEE 802.15), Z-Wave, ZigBee, Wi-Fi, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Powerline, ISM ( Industrial , Scientific and Medical ) bands, ...
  • the communication device may include an AS-Interface ( Actuator-Sensor-Interface ). This is a standard for fieldbus communication that provides for the connection of actuators and / or sensors and can replace parallel cabling.
  • the AS-Interface is an international standard according to EN 50295 and IEC 62026-2.
  • the communication unit can be set up to at least specify or track the operation of the at least one sanitary device.
  • the communication device can be set up so that commands for setting, changing or regulating actuators can be transmitted and, if necessary, checked.
