Hello
Are there good retrofit smart home systems available?
We bought a semi-detached house as a new build from a developer.
The electrician declined to work with KNX and said he is not familiar with it and won’t do it.
My question is: Are there good retrofit options for smart home systems that don’t require opening up the walls (that is not an option)?
Which systems would you recommend?
Functions:
Light control
Window sensors (preferably invisible)
Shutter control
Music control
Video doorbell
It should definitely be possible to create scenes and rules.
I’m also open to other suggestions for useful functions I may not have thought of yet.

The underfloor heating system works best if you set it once and don’t keep adjusting it. Underfloor heating is very slow to respond.Okay, so would you say it doesn’t make much sense to make it smart?
But only if the goal is to sell or install more technology. Otherwise, regulating rooms that are rarely used makes just as little sense, at least from a physical-technical perspective. This assumes that the surrounding rooms are regularly occupied or used and that everything is within a heated building envelope.

Well, for rooms that are not or rarely used, for example guest rooms, it does make sense to regulate them as well.Usually not, because if you lower the heating in that room, the adjacent room will heat it.
Normally, when building, the drywall (FHB) is also fitted with valves. I don’t know of a single construction site where there are no room thermostats or valves, regardless of whether it’s multi-family housing or single-family homes.
When building according to KfW standards, individual room control is actually mandatory, as far as I know.
