Detailed Description
Energy Efficiency
The usage of automated functions already save energy in every installation. Especially the usage of KNX has a lot of potential for further energy savings, which can contribute to a better environmental footprint. Be extending KNX to more functions and applications, energy savings of up to 60% can be realised. Thanks to the flexibility of KNX, these functions can easily be implemented in this installation
Innovation
Smart homes and buildings are always an upgrade in comparison to a conventional installation. Not only automated functions and a higher level of comfort contribute to a higher living standard, but also the possibility to be ready for coming innovations. Thanks to the usage of KNX, the door has been opened to integrate new innovative solutions, using the worldwide STANDARD for home and building control.

Customers Description
Durch die geschickte Verknüpfung der weltweit renommierten Open-Source-Gebäudeautomationssoftware "Home Assistant" mit dem KNX-System haben wir ein Projekt realisiert, das sich vollständig auf offene Standards stützt. Die Vielzahl von Integrationen mit anderen Systemen macht "Home Assistant" zu einer herausragenden Wahl, und mit Matter ist seine Zukunftsfähigkeit gewährleistet.
Den Großteil der Programmierung übernimmt unsere eigens entwickelte Webapplikation "iCASA Assistant" (https://icasa-assistant.ch/). Diese Anwendung erstellt die KNX-Gruppenadressen gemäß den "KNX Swiss Richtlinien" und generiert zudem die entsprechenden Entities, Automationen und Dashboards für den "Home Assistant". So entsteht mit minimalem Aufwand eine vollständige Lösung.
Durch den "Home Assistant" werden auf einfache Weise auch diverse andere Geräte wie Fronius, WLED, Tablets, Mobiles, smartwatches und etliche mehr eingebunden.
