What Is KNX — and Why Does It Matter?

KNX is the global standard for building automation. Unlike proprietary smart home systems that lock you into one brand, KNX is an open protocol — your heating, lighting, blinds, AV, security and HVAC can all talk to each other regardless of manufacturer. It's what architects and serious integrators specify when they want a system still running perfectly in 20 years.

We're certified KNX installers — that requires extensive training and examination. When you see the KNX logo on our site, it means the system we build will be done properly, not bodged together with consumer-grade kit.

What Can We Automate?

• Lighting control — scenes that set the mood instantly, controlled by app, voice, schedule or a single button
• Heating and climate — room-by-room temperature that responds to occupancy and the weather outside
• Security integration — lights, cameras, alarms and locks working together intelligently
• Audio and video — one-touch scenes that raise the screen, dim the lights and set the volume
• Blinds and curtains — motorised shading responding to sunlight, time of day, or a button press

New Build, Renovation, or Retrofit?

New builds and renovations are the ideal opportunity — with cabling planned from the start, the possibilities are almost unlimited. Retrofits are absolutely possible too. Wireless KNX products and systems like Lutron mean we can add sophisticated automation to existing homes without lifting every floorboard.
