Hello everyone,

I recently watched a YouTube video from Smartest Home about the new funding program for smart home integration in new constructions (also existing buildings). Has anyone dealt with this before? I find the topic of funding somewhat difficult to understand. Apparently, you can claim up to €50,000. I would like to have a KNX system installed in my single-family house, which is not built yet, but so far I haven't allocated much budget for KNX. How can I solve this problem?

Best regards,
Stefan

The mentioned YouTube channel is the most incompetent I have ever seen in the field of smart home technology. Besides severe misinformation, topics are usually oversimplified to a terrible extent.

Just had to say it, sorry.

I was a bit confused when I clicked on his link to his YouTube channel and ended up on the same page where I applied for my heat pump... is that correct? I couldn’t find anything about KNX or smart home anywhere.

Yes, it is also about the BAFA subsidy, but in terms of a KNX smart home system that can apparently be considered as well, so I thought someone might have already dealt with this topic.

We are now installing an air-to-water heat pump with an annual performance factor of 4.89.
The costs are divided as follows:
System costs 35,000
Additional costs 15,000

This is how I should state it according to the discussion with BAFA.

That is not correct. It has already been mentioned that the subsidy concerns the smart control of the heating system. Otherwise, KNX-related components are not eligible for funding.

Everything that helps make the heating system more efficient – including building technology such as actuators, sensors, and possibly a weather station – is supported.
