Integration and automation

KNX integration diagram – lighting, climate, shading, security and multimedia in one system

Automation within a KNX system offers solutions for integration with conventional installation technology, which means that all indoor and outdoor systems can be integrated into a single control interface – from controlling heating, cooling and ventilation systems, through controlling lighting and multimedia devices, to access control and remote control of household appliances.

A smart home is not just about controlling lights and roller shutters from a mobile phone. A smart home must not be limited to or dependent on the products and support of a single manufacturer. KNX is a worldwide standard backed by the support and equipment of 300 different manufacturers.

Integrating all of a home’s systems into the KNX system creates a complete smart home.

Lighting control

Preparing a lighting design in good time makes the later implementation of an intelligent control system much easier, because different types of lighting require an installation suited to the chosen type of light fitting, and the control elements change along with the installation.

Wooden shutters in a living room – automated shading control

Motor and shading control

Raise or lower the roller shutters with ease, and also set the position and the amount of daylight that suits you. The system can do all of this for you automatically using a light sensor, which also delivers considerable energy savings.

Heating and cooling control

Regulate and monitor the temperature from the palm of your hand and set the times when heating or cooling will be active – by analysing consumption, the heating and cooling process can easily be optimised to keep energy losses to a minimum. You can do all of this even when you are away from home.

Lawn sprinklers – automatic garden irrigation

Irrigation control

Decide for yourself when the sprinklers in your garden will switch on. With a weather station, the system automatically takes care of irrigation, taking into account humidity, air temperature and rainfall.

With sensors that monitor outdoor temperature and rainfall, together with control units, spending time and energy on watering green areas is a thing of the past.

Pool technology monitoring

Automate the pool lighting, control the pool cover or enable status reporting for the pool technology.

When designing a pool system, it is important to allow for a connection to the KNX system, which will ensure smooth operation and timely monitoring of the pool system’s key parameters.
