Description of services

1. By purchasing a Senzomatic system, the customer receives a hardware and software humidity monitoring solution that has been developed by Senzomatic experts specifically for the customer’s property. With the purchase, the customer not only gains hardware, but also advanced property and health protection through a unique closed system that combines individual sensors, a central unit and a cloud-based analytics center and features active, continuous monitoring. Senzomatic does not affect or protect against material wear and tear, construction defects, mechanical damage or misbehaviour during property use. However, the system can detect such events early and inform the customer in time to prevent or at least minimalize damage.
2. Before entering into a contract, the customer always has the option of asking Senzomatic for advice on a specific property. Senzomatic offers three basic levels of protection developed for buildings with an average floor area of 130 m2 , which can be further customised according to the customer’s requirements and the specific building. A distinction is made between:  

• Protection of the wooden building structure includes 5 MHT sensors, 2 HT sensors and 1 central unit including cabling  
• Protection against flooding including flood FHT-sensor and water shut-off
• Indoor air quality control contains a sensor for monitoring indoor air quality (IAQ). 
• Protecting the building envelope contains a varying number of HT-sensors, which are installed under HS portals, skylights, etc., or installed to monitor possible excessive condensation on garden valves and other locations.            
• Protection of flat roofs contains a varying number of HT/R-sensors for the control and protection of flat roofs of buildings, usually 1 sensor per 20 m² is used.     
• Other segments/verticals are production companies for wooden panels 
• Storage and logistics of wooden boards (semi-finished products)    
  
  

Installation of the Senzomatic system, i.e.

1. installation of sensors according to the agreed sensor and cabling design, including sensor testing      
2. commissioning of the central unit (CU) and system start-up/activation        
3. is carried out by the customer or by a third party at the customer’s expense. If necessary, Senzomatic will provide the Customer with its installation and sales partners who can provide the above work. The Customer undertakes to carry out the work according to this clause to the agreed extent and quality at the place and time specified in the order, which is a prerequisite for the activation and monitoring of the system by Senzomatic.       
                              

The following tools are available for installation:         

• Installation video Youtube /Senzomatic
• Installation Guide 3.4 in the current version      
• Senzomatic company profile
• Information sheet for customers
• User manual
• Product descriptions for MHT, HT, FHT and ZE sensors (on request)       
• General documents available on the Senzomatic website and on Senzomatic’s YouTube channel and social media.

1. The customer is responsible for the technical condition of the Senzomatic service site and for the preparation of the site for the provision of services within the agreed timeframe in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the contract.
2. For clarification, it is stated in this context that Senzomatic will ensure that sensors are installed in locations that have a statistically higher risk of moisture. The level of protection, i.e. minimising the risk of moisture, is also directly dependent on the number of sensors installed. Senzomatic recommends a higher level of protection especially in skylights, HS portals, doubling the number of sensors in larger bathrooms and kitchens, or flood sensors and combining them with main water supply.
3. The system can be configured and activated under the following conditions:         
4. All sensors are installed and connected by cable to the central unit, which is located in the switchboard. Everything is connected to one electrical circuit.     
5. From the moment the central unit is activated and connected to the Internet, the central unit collects data in a cache, which is then sent to the cloud.                         
6. There is an active internet connection in the building or mobile data is available, usually in the form of a router with a prepaid data card.
7. The system must always be tested via the central unit to check that all sensors are uploaded and registered under their code name in the central unit and that they are in the “active” state. Activation of the system can be done directly by the customer or by the recipient; Senzomatic offers technical support in the form of installation manuals and instructional videos. There is also the option to have a trained electrician physically activate the system or provide remote activation support (fee-based service).        
8. Customer account activation after hardware installation:
   
   1. The customer is entitled to access the Senzomatic Customer Zone upon payment of the monitoring fee. This access is done after confirming the customer’s e-mail address by sending a contact e-mail address to info@senzomatic.com . The customer can also request access to the customer zone for other persons (e.g. for a construction company or, in the case of B2B customers, for the owner or user of the building).         
   2. Professional support in the form of continuous monitoring is an essential element of the system and is provided exclusively by Senzomatic as a service to protect trade secrets and extremely challenging data interpretation. Artificial intelligence and advanced algorithms are used to analyse the data, as well as specific and individual advice from Senzomatic specialists. Once the system is activated, the sensor data is sent to Senzomatic and collected by Senzomatic. During the agreed monitoring period of the system, the data sent from the sensors to the central unit (CU) is continuously monitored, observed and evaluated by Senzomatic. Senzomatic will use the collected data to alert the customer to emerging or imminent risk situations (humidity, water leakage), advise them of possible causes of increased humidity and suggest possible solutions based on the information provided by the customer. If you have any questions regarding monitoring, please contact Senzomatic at info@senzomatic.com.

1. The customer is responsible for the actual implementation of the proposed measures to resolve the resulting moisture. If you have any questions, please contact Senzomatic via email: info@senzomatic.com
2. An annual subscription to Senzomatic moisture monitoring is automatically purchased with the purchase of system hardware. The monitoring service is offered in ” Standard ” or ” Premium ” versions. It should be noted in this context that although the customer is not obliged to purchase the monitoring, the hardware is of no practical use without it.                         
3. The monitoring system is purchased for a fixed period of time for the first 24 months from the activation of the system and can be renewed for a further 1 year, whereby the order must be confirmed/activated at least one month before the expiry of the current subscription. The monitoring system is only active if the order is active and the monitoring fee has also been paid in accordance with the payment methods described below. In the event that the monitoring service is discontinued due to late payment by the customer, Senzomatic will charge a service fee according to Senzomatic’s current price list (available upon request or downloadable from Senzomatic’s website).        
4. Monitoring is offered in two variants: the “Standard” and the “Premium”. The range of monitoring services in each variant can be found in the appendix.            
5. By ordering the hardware and associated monitoring, the customer agrees to exchange data between the central unit (CU) and the cloud provider. The data is transferred for the sole purpose of protecting health and property through early detection of moisture and water leakage. The data exchange is continuous as long as the CU is active, i.e. connected to power and connected to the internet.         
6. In order to communicate quickly and efficiently with customers, Senzomatic offers a customer account with various access and setup options. Upon payment of the monitoring fee, the customer is entitled to activate the customer account and access the system. The customer account is activated by Senzomatic upon confirmation of the customer’s email address via email to info@senzomatic.com. Once access is activated by Senzomatic, the customer will receive an email with a link to create a password. Once logged in, the customer has access to Senzomatic’s brochures and partial access to a graphical representation of the data collected.         
7. For the purpose of communication with the customer, the customer’s contact details (telephone, e-mail, consent to telephone, SMS or e-mail contact) must be recorded in full. The above communication is carried out in accordance with an individual assessment and evaluation within Senzomatic’s internal monitoring processes by specially trained specialists. The type of communication varies depending on the subscription purchased (Standard or Premium).
