Frequently asked questions

What makes KNX different from other automation systems?+
KNX is an open international standard, not a proprietary platform. Devices from 500+ manufacturers all speak the same protocol, so you are never locked into a single vendor. It uses reliable wired communication and is the most widely deployed building automation standard in the world.
Can I control KNX from my phone?+
Yes. KNX systems can be controlled via smartphone apps, wall-mounted touchscreens, elegant push-button panels, and through Home Assistant dashboards. We configure the interface that suits your lifestyle.
Does KNX work with other smart home devices?+
Yes. KNX integrates with Home Assistant, enabling connection to thousands of additional devices including Sonos, Philips Hue, Aqara sensors, and more. The wired KNX backbone handles critical systems while wireless devices extend functionality.
How much does a KNX system cost in Dubai?+
A KNX system for a 2-bedroom apartment typically starts around AED 20,000–30,000. Villa installations with full integration range from AED 50,000 to AED 180,000+ depending on the scope and number of circuits.
Can KNX be added to an existing home?+
KNX is best suited for new builds or major renovations where cabling can be run. For existing homes, KNX RF (wireless) devices can extend the system without new wiring, or a hybrid approach with Home Assistant can bridge wired and wireless zones.
