Innovative, Intelligent & Integrated solutions under one roof
Smart Home & Building Automation
Smart home & building automation is a system to monitor and/or control home attributes such as lighting, curtains & blinds, climate(HVAC), entertainment systems, and appliances. It may also include home security such as access control, smart locks, smart intercoms and alarm systems. When connected with the Internet, home devices are an important constituent of the Internet of Things ("IoT").
The user interface for control of the system uses either wall-mounted terminals, tablet or desktop computers, a mobile phone application, or a Web interface that may also be accessible off-site through the Internet.
Smart Automation Protocols
KNX is an open protocol that’s been on the market for decades and is also one of the most popular protocols for building automation. It operates on more than one physical layer e.g. twisted pair wiring, power line networking, infrared, Ethernet, and RF.
Zigbee is a wireless protocol which operates in a mesh network. That is: it uses a device to relay a signal to other devices, strengthening and expanding the network. Zigbee can be built in dimmers, door locks, thermostats, and more.
Similar to Zigbee, Z-Wave is an open source mesh network protocol. Technically speaking, the main difference between the two is the data throughput — Z-wave is roughly 6 times slower than Zigbee. It does, however, require less energy to cover the same range as Zigbee. SmartThings and Lowes Iris use Z-Wave.
What is KNX
KNX is a network standard, basically OSI-based network communications protocol which is extensively designed and developed for building/home automation. KNX is an abbreviation for the word Konnex. KNX is based on three technologies: EIB (European Installation Bus), EHS (European Home Systems Protocol) and BatiBUS.
Unlike proprietary protocols (which only the manufacturer supports), KNX is an open worldwide standard with over 300 different manufacturers producing products that all inter-work and operate together seamlessly.
