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

In this project, we integrate lighting (switching and DALI), roll screens, Daikin split and domestic units, floor heating, TV (Sony and Panasonic) and water fall. These facilities are controlled by wall switches, thermostats, mobile app and smart speakers. It was very important to be able to control facilities with voice assistant so that KNX-Voice control interface was the essence of the project. And scene control makes the space sophisticated and it provides clients graceful time and experience. Also this system is very flexible and can be changed programs or add new functions easily to meet customer's additional requirements after hand over.
