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 project is the development of an open source KNX-IoT interface using a Tapko SIM-KNX module and an ARM Cortex A9 micro-processor. The software-interface to the bus is developped in such a way that every software developper can easily adapt his own software for comminication to the bus. To prove this, three cases were worked out:
- a webinterface to the bus with a javascript frontend en PHP backend using AJAX requests
- an ETS importmodule to import EST data and convert it to a JSOn file
- an interface to Apple Homekit, developped with the Laravel PHP framework.
