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
This project make use of KNX and TCP/IP technologies together in order to provide a unique result for the home owners. The main request was to make everything simple and ease the hassle of using different technology for every different system of the house. From the garage gate to the water leak detector and from the burglar alarm to the push notification messages being sent from the KNX server, everything works flawlessly under the supervision of KNX integration. So the owners of the house know every second what happens in their residence. Unlike the famous quote, "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas", what happens in this residence is being directly communicated to the owners.
