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.

Customers Description
Scope of this project to have one supervision application to controlled all systems including lighting, shutters, curtains, motion sensors, water leakage sensors, smoke detector, sound system, AC control, heating system control, swimming pool motors control, and lot of scenarios (such as Good morning, good night, Good bye, relax mode, party mode ... etc.)
We have used in this project EKINEX for complete KNX system a product that embodies the essence of Made in Italy design, attention to detail, cutting-edge technology and innovation.
We also use Crestron the leading manufacturer of audiovisual control systems to automate and control audiovisual equipment in all the villa.
