What is it?
As the home automation market grew, compatibility issues began to arise between products from different brands. This is why KNX emerged. KNX is a protocol that allows different devices to connect to each other and work together, correctly performing their assigned functions.
Benefits
The main advantage is having a broad market where you can confidently choose any product from any company, as they can work together.
The huge expansion of KNX means there are more and more people specializing in it, which allows us to have different budgets and opinions .
Maintenance is one of its strong points, as we can easily replace elements of the installation throughout its lifespan. Even if a device breaks down completely, we can replace it with a similar one, even if it's from a different brand.
It provides security , since through KNX you can control everything that happens in your home, from monitoring the garden to knowing the status of the pipes.
It offers great convenience to the facility owner thanks to the independence of the devices and the ability to control everything from a single location.
Facility
Installing KNX requires a certain level of knowledge. Therefore, it's best to seek advice from someone who knows how to do it. For this, we can rely on KNX partners , which can be suppliers or installers endorsed by the KNX system association.
To learn more about how a KNX system works, let's look at an example of the devices installed in a house in Muros de Nalón, Asturias.
Because customers wanted to control practically everything with home automation, a multitude of devices were installed:
Lighting control.
Installation of presence and light detectors in hallways and passageways so that the light is activated only by movement.
Blinds control.
Heating control. With several independent heating zones, each with its own temperature and time settings.
Ventilation control. This will be based on the amount of CO2 present. This CO2 data will be provided by four air quality sensors distributed throughout the house.
Weather station. To make adjustments to your home based on the weather outside, such as raising the blinds if it's windy.
Notices in case of power outage.
Install occupancy sensors throughout the house. In the event of a break-in, a notification will be sent to your mobile phone, and you'll also be able to identify which room the intruder is in.
