KNX Home Automation System
We recommend a KNX based system for the control of lighting, heating, HVAC, windows, blinds, curtains and ventilation. KNX is not a company or a product, it is an open protocol that defines the communication between the various devices that make up the system: switches, sensors, dimmers, heating and actuators, etc. There are over 300 different manufacturers making KNX compatible equipment including Siemens, ABB, Hager, Jung and Gira. By not tying your system into one manufacturer, you truly future proof your home, as the system installed will not be made obsolete by one manufacturer going out of business. KNX systems work on a communications bus principle with a single cable around the house connecting switches, etc. together. This is a very versatile system, allowing for modifications to be made in later years without any major infrastructure changes. The function of each switch or push button can be changed by programming at any timeVisit the Design Innovation website for more information on KNX Home Automation System
