THE ULTIMATE IN BUILDING AUTOMATION
System
A global standard in smart control of residential, office, industrial and commercial buildings. Stand-alone devices included in the KNX system are connected together into one “intercommunicating” network that allows you to build an integrated structure of all systems.
KNX integrates various systems
heating and energy management security ventilation
air conditioning
control of blinds lighting multimedia
and awnings
Ease of use
KNX offers a wide range of possibilities in the selection of controlled devices and the degree of advancement of available options. The system allows operation of its individual components to be ideally customized to the needs and expectations of the users. And, most importantly, handling the system as a whole is convenient and very intuitive.
Be ECO
Using an intelligent building equipped with KNX solutions means also caring for the environment. Effective management of energy translates into a significant reduction in its consumption.
Flexible customization
The KNX system offers easy expansion as well as a quick change of the intended purpose of individual rooms. It does not require a complicated reinstallation or laying of new cables and thus contributes to real savings.

How it works?
KNX offers almost infinite possibilities.
Let your imagination run free and learn how the KNX system works in home solutions.
KNX will give you much more than just extra time. From now on you will not have to worry about anything ‒ your smart home will automatically meet all your wishes. It will do your everyday duties for you, allowing you the pleasure of spending time with your loved ones. The number of its functionalities is infinite.
Ideal climate
The temperature in each room changes automatically to meet your preferences. The system constantly monitors the weather and adjusts the performance of individual systems (heating, air conditioning, blinds) in order to maintain the optimal temperature level according to your expectations.
Use the magic of light
Intensity and type of lighting will always suit your mood! It takes just one click to start a selected light scene. Therefore, the brightness of the light points you choose will immediately adjust to changing circumstances. When you leave for vacation, the system will control the lighting in such a way as to simulate the presence of the household members. This simple procedure will discourage potential burglars who might be watching the house.
Caring for the environment and your wallet
Intelligent technologies also save energy and, consequently, are eco-friendly. Leaving the house? The system automatically turns off devices that do not need to work when you are absent. It also turns off the lighting, and in winter it switches the heating over to ECO mode to save energy.
Easy wake-up
For a great start to your day, the system raises the blinds and tilts the window open to let the first rays of sunshine and fresh air into the bedroom. Your dog can go out into the garden, because the pet door has just been unlocked. Your favorite music in the background puts you in a good mood. In a moment, the system will wake up the children as well. Today will be a nice day!
Let’s watch a movie
A movie night with friends? Look how the room can change into a modern cinema! In a few moments, the projection screen is lowered and the projector is turned on. All lighting gets dimmed, except for some delicate light spots, for example, above the snack corner. The windows blinds go down, creating the right mood and comfortable viewing conditions. The player starts playing the movie you have selected.
Relax after a hard day
Relaxing on the terrace on a sunny afternoon? The system automatically opens the awning, providing you comfortable shade. In the evening, a romantic garden light comes on, which helps you relax after a day full of challenges. Also, on cooler days you can enjoy the pleasures of resting on the terrace ‒ the system will then start IR heaters that emit pleasant warmth.
Windows under control
Windows in your smart home can be controlled automatically. Depending on the circumstances and the needs of your household, they can be automatically opened, tilted or closed. In addition, when controlling the anti-burglary roller shutters, blinds and electric curtain track, the system will adjust the level of window covering to suit your preferences.
Winter morning
It was snowing all night, wasn’t it? The system will take care of heating the driveway, so you do not have any more to clear it from snow yourself. Instead of doing this, you can spend your time having breakfast with your family or for some extra sleep.
Electronic gardener
The garden will always look thriving and fresh! Your smart home also takes care of it by automatically selecting the right watering program to match the current level of soil moisture. It also sees to it that particular plant species receive exactly as much water as they need. That’s why you do not have to bother yourself any longer with watering the garden ‒ regardless of whether you are at home or, for example, on vacation.

KNX integration with the alarm system
Integration of systems based on the INTEGRA and INTEGRA Plus control panels with a wide range of KNX devices extends capabilities of both systems. For everyday control of the two systems, you can use touch-screen keypads such as INT-TSI, which are part of the alarm system. This translates into cost optimization, as there is no need to duplicate the control devices. The intuitive INTEGRA CONTROL mobile application is used for remote control of the alarm system and part of the KNX system functions. The INT-KNX-2 module is an indispensable element for the integration of both systems.
INT-KNX-2 integration module
INT-KNX-2 allows you to control KNX actuators using one of the INTEGRA family control panel. It also offers the possibility of information feedback from the KNX system to the control panel. The module is equipped with a KNX socket, through which it is connected directly to the KNX bus. The module settings are configured from the DLOADX program.
Why INTEGRA with KNX?
It is a solution for people who are looking for something more than just the standard functionality of an alarm system or KNX system.
enhancement of both systems’ capabilities because of synergy effect
reduction of the overall installation costs
meeting even the most demanding customers’ expectations
