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.

@untergasse43 have you installed opus at your home?No, but I have some experience with it.
I still have time.
We will have to wait about 1 to 1.5 years until handover.
If we have to retrofit anyway and waiting might be worthwhile, I would probably go for it.
I just want to find out about everything as early as possible and roughly estimate the costs to know the maximum amount we can spend.

With Loxone, you are tied to the manufacturer, and the Air version is basically meant as an extension to the bus system, like KNX, right?No, Geiger roller shutter motors have supported Air for a long time, and many interfaces also allow integration of third-party manufacturers. Additionally, there is a large community that develops interfaces for Loxone.
