00 / The brief

A smart home is a wiring decision first, an app second.

The biggest difference between a KNX installation and a consumer smart-home kit isn't the interface — it's what happens in ten years. KNX is an open international standard with a documented programming file (ETS), meaning any certified integrator can service or extend it later. A closed wireless ecosystem depends on one manufacturer staying in business and keeping the app updated.

2–4 wks

KNX outlives the app on your phone. It's a wired standard that any certified integrator can service in ten years — a proprietary smart-home app usually can't say the same.

We design the wiring topology at first-fix stage — lighting circuits, blind motors and climate actuators all on the KNX bus — then program scenes, schedules and climate logic in ETS before handover. Where new wiring isn't possible, such as a renovation, we spec a wireless KNX-compatible layer instead of ripping out finished walls, keeping the same open standard rather than switching to a closed alternative.

01 / Why through us

We import the knx & smart home. The agent runs the project.

Lighting, blinds and climate are designed and programmed as one KNX system with a documented ETS file handed over at completion, instead of a stack of separate wireless apps that stop talking to each other after an update.

01 / 04

Programmed around your routine, not a demo template

Scenes and schedules are built from how you actually move through the house — morning, arrival, night — not a generic 'party mode' left unused.

Scene logic built from your actual routine

02 / 04

Wireless where a full bus retrofit doesn't make sense

Renovations that can't take new cabling get a wireless KNX-compatible layer instead of ripping out finished walls for a bus cable.

Wireless option avoids unnecessary wall opening

03 / 04

One system for lighting, blinds and climate

All three run through the same panel and app instead of three separate manufacturer apps that don't talk to each other.

04 / 04

Documented programming, not a black box

The project file and programming logic are handed over documented, so a future electrician or installer isn't locked out of your own system.

Residential lighting & scenes

01

One panel, one system, scenes that actually get used.

Lighting circuits are wired to the KNX bus at first-fix and programmed into scenes — evening, cinema, away — controlled from wall panels, an app or voice integration, all from the same underlying system rather than three overlapping apps.

  • Lighting scenes programmed in ETS, not app shortcuts
  • Wall panels, app and voice control on one system
  • Dimming curves tuned per room during commissioning

Blinds & shading

02

Blinds that respond to sun position, not just a timer.

Motorised blinds are integrated on the same bus as lighting and climate, so shading can respond to sun position and indoor temperature automatically, reducing cooling load in summer without manual adjustment every afternoon.

  • Sun-tracking automation reduces manual adjustment
  • Integrated with climate control for cooling load reduction
  • Manual override always available at the wall panel
Underfloor heating and climate control system integrated into a smart home installation

Climate control

03

Zoned heating and cooling, programmed room by room.

Underfloor heating, heat pumps and AC units are integrated into zoned climate control on the same KNX bus, with schedules programmed per room so unoccupied bedrooms aren't conditioned to the same schedule as the living room.

  • Zoned schedules programmed per room
  • Integration with heat pump and underfloor systems
  • Presence and window sensors reduce wasted energy

Renovations without new wiring

04

A wireless KNX-compatible layer where walls can't be opened.

Where a full rewire isn't practical, wireless KNX-compatible actuators and sensors extend the same open standard without disturbing finished plaster, giving a renovation the same long-term serviceability as a new-build install.

  • Wireless actuators avoid disturbing finished walls
  • Same open KNX standard as a wired installation
  • Can be extended to full wiring during a future refit

04 / How to specify it

The decisions that decide the result.

01 / 06

Decide KNX wiring at first-fix, not after plastering

Bus cable runs alongside power circuits and needs planning before walls close — retrofitting later usually means a wireless layer instead.

02 / 06

Choose scenes around how you actually live

Programming generic 'morning' and 'evening' scenes without asking how a household actually uses each room wastes the system's real value.

03 / 06

Confirm actuator count before ordering

Every circuit, blind motor and sensor needs its own bus device — we size this from your electrical drawings before ordering hardware.

04 / 06

Insist on the ETS file at handover

The programming file is what lets any certified integrator service the system in future — without it you're locked to the original installer.

05 / 06

Set manual overrides at every wall panel

Automation should never remove the option of a manual switch — every scene and shading rule keeps a physical override in reach.

06 / 06

Plan a wireless layer for renovations

Where new cabling isn't practical, KNX-compatible wireless devices keep you on the same open standard rather than switching to a closed system.

Common mistakes

Choosing a closed wireless smart-home kit for a new-build

A proprietary app-based system depends on one manufacturer staying supported — KNX's open standard doesn't carry that risk.

Deciding wiring after the walls are closed

Bus cable is far cheaper to run at first-fix than retrofitted later — this decision needs making with the electrician, not after.

Programming generic scenes without discussing daily routines

A scene set that doesn't match how the household actually lives gets switched off within weeks — we design scenes around real routines.

06 / The long read

KNX & Smart Home, from first quote
to a finished room.

Lighting, blinds and climate are designed and programmed as one KNX system with a documented ETS file handed over at completion, instead of a stack of separate wireless apps that stop talking to each other after an update. This is the part most suppliers leave out: what we import, how KNX & Smart Home should be specified before anyone prices it, where projects lose money, and what our 2–4 wks lead time actually covers.

01

What we import, and what lands on site

KNX building automation for lighting, blinds and climate, plus wireless alternatives where a full bus retrofit isn't practical. We supply actuators, touch panels and sensors, and handle the programming logic — scenes, schedules and room-by-room control — around how the house or building is actually used, not a generic demo setup left for you to figure out.

Because we buy KNX & Smart Home directly from the factories, the range you see is the range we can programme — not a catalogue we hope to source later. In practice that means KNX actuators, touch panels & sensors and lighting control, each with its own price band and availability, so a specification can be tuned to a budget instead of abandoned.

Programmed around your routine, not a demo template: scenes and schedules are built from how you actually move through the house — morning, arrival, night — not a generic 'party mode' left unused.

02

How KNX & Smart Home should be specified before it is priced

Specifying KNX & Smart Home well comes down to a short list of decisions taken in the right order — decide KNX wiring at first-fix, not after plastering, choose scenes around how you actually live, confirm actuator count before ordering and insist on the ETS file at handover. Taken on paper, these cost nothing. Taken on site, each one is a change order.

We write the specification with you before anything is quoted, so the number you get is for the material that will actually be installed. That means confirmed dimensions and finishes, the right performance class for the space, and quantities that include the waste factor rather than discovering it mid-installation.

The same reference behaves differently depending on where it goes — new-build houses and villas, renovations needing wireless control, hotels and serviced apartments and offices and meeting rooms each carry their own requirements, and we specify against the space rather than against a mood image.

03

Where KNX & Smart Home projects lose time and money

Almost every delay we are called in to rescue traces back to the same handful of causes: choosing a closed wireless smart-home kit for a new-build, deciding wiring after the walls are closed, programming generic scenes without discussing daily routines and not requesting the ETS programming file. None of them are exotic, and all of them are avoidable at specification stage.

Choosing a closed wireless smart-home kit for a new-build is the most expensive one, because a proprietary app-based system depends on one manufacturer staying supported — KNX's open standard doesn't carry that risk.

We have supplied KNX & Smart Home into residential lighting & scenes, blinds & shading and climate control, and the pattern is consistent: the projects that run smoothly are the ones where the material was locked before the trades were booked.

Deciding wiring after the walls are closed — checked once on paper, never again on site.

04

Lead times, pricing and what we handle

Standard lead time on KNX & Smart Home is 2–4 wks from confirmed specification, and that window covers the whole chain — factory programming, consolidation, transport, customs where applicable and delivery to site or to your warehouse. We quote the landed number, not an ex-works price that grows later.

Pricing is per project rather than per line. Because we import directly and consolidate KNX & Smart Home with the rest of the materials for the same room, you get one quote, one delivery window and one point of contact — and the savings show up on the total, not just on a headline reference.

If you already have drawings, send them and we will come back with a specification and a landed price. If you do not, we will build the specification with you first. Either way, nothing is ordered until the quantities, finishes and dates are agreed in writing.

07 / Questions

Frequently asked

Do I need to rewire the whole house for KNX?+

For new builds and full renovations, yes — a KNX bus cable runs alongside standard wiring to every control point. For finished properties, a wireless KNX-compatible layer avoids opening walls, at a small trade-off in flexibility.

What can KNX actually control?+

Lighting, blinds and shutters, heating and cooling, and integration with cameras, alarms and audio are all standard — programmed together so one scene, like 'leaving home', adjusts all of it at once.

Is KNX better than a wireless smart-home system?+

KNX is more reliable long-term because it runs on a dedicated wired bus rather than WiFi, and it's an open standard so you're not locked to one brand. Wireless systems install faster and suit renovations where cabling isn't realistic.

Who programs the scenes and schedules?+

We program it with you, working through your actual routine — morning, arrival, night, away — rather than leaving a generic factory setup for you to configure yourself.

What happens if I want to change something later or switch installer?+

You receive the full documented project file, so any KNX-certified installer can open and modify the programming — you are not locked into one company to make a change.

How long does installation and programming take?+

Typically 2–4 weeks from confirmed scope to commissioning, including a dedicated programming visit once the electrical first-fix is complete.
