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 previous home of H.Hefner was a real challenge to prove to a KNX skeptic environment that KNX really is the best option to combine different manufacturers with 1 user friendly interfaces. For this project we had to gather all the knowledge we gained over the last 13 years in the US. We had to merge new US products, that never worked with KNX, with existing partners. For this we had to rely on our knowledge, newly created logic and physical loopholes.(Amongst the used manufacturers:Jandy,Elk,Liftmaster,Carrier,Key Digital,DoorBird,Global Cach,Apple TV,Sonos,Samsung).
