Smart outlets meet KNX: The long-term energy solution for homeowners

In combination with an automation system, your smart outlets will gain more enhanced features:

• Remote control via apps or voice assistants

• Scheduling appliances

• Real-time energy monitoring

• Automation with other smart devices

In the following paragraphs we’ll explore these features further, and discuss the added value of smart outlets in combination with our KNX system.

While smart outlets alone offer some benefits, their real power is unlocked when combined with a robust home automation system like KNX.

As a globally recognized, open standard for smart home and building automation, integrating your smart outlets with KNX comes with a lot of perks. It enables seamless communication between different smart devices, regardless of manufacturer. When you connect your smart outlets to a KNX system, you move beyond basic app control to a fully automated, intelligent energy management setup.

When you add smart outlets to your KNX ecosystem, you’re not only upgrading a few plugs. You’re investing in a sustainable, future-proof solution. Here’s what makes it worth it:

• Discreet and permanent solution: Smart outlets are integrated into your walls, unlike bulky adapters or smart plugs (which are plugged into traditional outlets), giving your home decor a clean look. Once installed, you enjoy the energy-saving benefits for life.

• Ideal for high-power appliances: Smart outlets can be optimized for devices like washing machines, ovens, and entertainment systems - which are known to be the highest consumers of an average household.

• Energy savings on autopilot:KNX automates your energy management with minimal required input from homeowners. When an empty room is detected, the system will command the smart outlets to shut down. After a while, the KNX system will also start to recognize patterns and anticipate those to minimize energy consumption even further.

• Safer home environment: They automatically cut power to specific outlets when not in use, reducing the risk of electrical fires or overloads.
