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

The primary benefit of leveraging the KNX standard in this smart home project is its ability to facilitate a truly integrated, interoperable, and future-proof building automation system. KNX's open protocol allows seamless communication and coordination between a wide range of home systems and devices, regardless of manufacturer. This interoperability provides the homeowner with the flexibility to select the best-in-class products and avoid vendor lock-in, while ensuring seamless integration and optimization of the overall system. The scalable nature of the KNX architecture enables the homeowner to easily expand the system's functionality and accommodate evolving needs over time. As new technologies and use cases emerge, the KNX standard's continuous evolution ensures the system can be readily upgraded and adapted to stay current. Moreover, the KNX-based system's centralized control and monitoring
