A KNX-based smart home system offers maximum flexibility for future extensions, thereby maximising security of investment. Impressed by the benefits of KNX technology, a young couple in the small Swabian town of Empfingen in Germany tasked the local experts from Kipp Elektro with planning and installing their smart home system.

The products selected included Theben KNX actuators for blinds, switches, heating appliances and dimmers, as well as presence detectors and a Theben weather station. Managing Director Philipp Kipp explains the reason for the dominance of Theben products in their selection:

“Choosing KNX products was a really easy decision, because we have experience of using them very successfully in other projects. Their quality simply speaks for itself. The only elements of the system that were provided by another manufacturer are the integrated video monitoring equipment and the intercom.”
