The DE 10 2004 018 063 ( WO 2005/066913 ) shows a window handle for the operation of an automatic window, wherein the window handle lever via different switching positions, the lock and the opening drive switches. As a result, the window can be moved via drive means instead of by mechanical means. The switching elements can be controlled either via electrical lines or wirelessly to trigger a corresponding locking or movement of a sash.

The DE 10 2004 060 202 shows a window handle, in which on the handle switch buttons are provided by means of which the opening of the window, in particular the tilting, is controlled. For this purpose, a rocker switch is coupled with a corresponding switching device so that corresponding locking devices and drives can be moved on the window.

Furthermore, more peripheral devices are often arranged on the window or a facade, for example for shading, ventilation and other functions that are operated mechanically or via switches. Since the peripheral devices mostly come from different manufacturers, each one has its own control or its own actuating mechanism.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a window, in particular a tilt and turn window, which also assumes other functions in addition to the function of a window.

This object is achieved with a window having the features of claim 1.

On the window and / or window handle switching elements are provided, which are coupled to a controller for actuating at least one spaced apart from the window peripheral device. As a result, the window with the switching elements forms a control center to control peripheral devices, which are then actuated, in particular moved. Since a window is usually freely accessible for ventilation, it is extremely convenient if the window additionally switching elements for operating peripherals are provided, since then can be omitted a complex wiring adjacent to the window.

According to the invention, the switching elements comprise a selection key for selecting the peripheral device and at least one switch for controlling the peripheral device. As a result, the controller remains easy to use, since first the peripheral device to be controlled is selected, which can be signaled by a visual and / or audible indication, wherein then followed by a corresponding operation by the control switch.

As a peripheral device, for example, a driven shading element can be provided on the window, wherein the shading element can be arranged both inside and on the outside. Furthermore, as a peripheral device, a movable ventilation element, for example a driven ventilation flap above the window or at another location can be actuated. In addition, it is possible that the peripheral device is an alarm system and / or a switchable light source, which can be switched on or off via the switching elements. As a peripheral device can also be provided a heater and / or air conditioning, so that the air conditioning of the room via the control is done at the window.

In addition, the window itself can be moved by the switching elements, for example in a tilted position or another ventilation position.

Preferably, the controller is provided with at least one sensor for automatic operation of a peripheral device. For example, an anemometer may be provided which automatically powers up a shading system mounted on the outside of the window when excessive wind speeds are being measured. In addition, the sunlight can be detected by a light sensor, so that a shading system can also be automatically moved into the shading position. Furthermore, a CO ₂ sensor can be used to control the indoor climate.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, the controller has a clock, wherein at least one peripheral device can be controlled by a timer. For example, in cities with a high risk of smog, ventilation of the building can be automatically adjusted to the early morning hours when the air is best. In addition, with a corresponding timer, the controller can also perform an alarm function, for example, when a shading system is started up in the morning, because daylight enters the building. In addition, the controller may be coupled to a speaker for the output of acoustic signals.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the switching elements are arranged on the handle and / or on a handle shield. Because the user is accustomed to a window on the handle is operated, so it makes sense for ease of use to provide there also a control center for the peripherals. The control of the peripherals can be done wirelessly via radio, infrared or, if necessary, via a wiring.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, the switching elements are removably held on the window and / or the window handle, so that the switching elements can be kept loose in the manner of a remote control. The remote control can be formed as part of the window handle, so that the user has the option to release the switching elements of the window handle and then to control the peripherals as a remote control.

So that the window can also be used for existing peripheral devices, the controller is preferably programmable for coupling with peripheral devices. Then, a corresponding window can also be retrofitted in a simple manner, the peripheral devices receiving a corresponding transmitter for this purpose.
