Detailed description

Energy Efficiency

The usage of automated functions already save energy in every installation. Especially the usage of KNX has a lot of potential for further energy savings, which can contribute to a better environmental footprint. Be extending KNX to more functions and applications, energy savings of up to 60% can be realised. Thanks to the flexibility of KNX, these functions can easily be implemented in this installation

Innovation

Smart homes and buildings are always an upgrade in comparison to a conventional installation. Not only automated functions and a higher level of comfort contribute to a higher living standard, but also the possibility to be ready for coming innovations. Thanks to the usage of KNX, the door has been opened to integrate new innovative solutions, using the worldwide STANDARD for home and building control.

Ease of Use

By integrating KNX, we automatically experience a higher energy efficiency and comfort. Furthermore, by the possibility to use further devices, in order to make the usage of the project easier, we can look at further opportunity to even make the whole installation easier in usage.

Customer's description

En 2020 realizamos la integración total en una vivienda unifamiliar en Finestrat (Alicante). La iluminación se regula a la perfección gracias al protocolo adoptado, DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface), y a su total integración con KNX. También se integraron todos los enrollables de la casa (screens, foscurits y estores decorativos), el sistema de Climatización y Calefacción, el control de apertura de las puertas del Garaje, las Alarmas técnicas, como el control de estado de puertas y ventanas, sondas de inundación con corte de agua, detectores de humo y fuego… El control de Riego mediante estación meteorológica, y el control de accesos mediante Lectores biométricos (huella dactilar)… Todo ello manejado mediante cualquier dispositivo móvil o desde cualquiera de las 9 pantallas táctiles instaladas a lo largo de la vivienda.
