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 benefits from a state-of-the-art JUNG -KNX home automation system (All KNX products for the US market are UL-certified). The JUNG KNX system features automated KNX controls for internal and external lighting, HVAC, and shades; the JUNG LS990 (Matt White) switch range is the general device of choice. As well as standard switch and dimming functionality, we extensively used scenes to combine multiple functions to optimize convenience and minimize the number of switches and button presses needed. Visual control of the JUNG KNX System is handled by the JUNG SMART VISU SERVER and the Control 4 app. Automated shades throughout the property are controlled via the same switch as lighting and HVAC. This project shows interoperability with different automation systems, like Control 4. Existing KNX drivers within the Control 4 software made it a simple task to link the JUNG KNX system with the Control 4 app.
