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
The 'Integrated Smart Home System' is an advanced, fully automated prototype showcasing the power of combining standard building automation with open-source platforms. It utilizes a robust KNX system as its reliable backbone for stable load management. This core is interconnected with a Raspberry Pi 4 and Arduino microcontrollers, all unified under a single, cohesive user interface managed by Home Assistant."
"A standout feature is the advanced 'Scene' programming and voice control. For example, triggering the custom 'Relax Mode' automatically sets the motorized roller shutters to 50%, turns off the main high-intensity lights, dims the ambient lighting, and plays calming music. Another scene simultaneously activates cooling, turns off spotlights, and raises the shutters. The setup also integrates motion sensors for energy efficiency, and a repurposed computer serves as a local backup server, providing redundancy to ensure the system remains operational if the primary controller fails.
