ᐅ Smart Home / Home Automation – Consultation

Hi,

I’m still undecided about installing home automation in our planned new build.

My requirements are as follows:

- Control of roller shutters or blinds (possibly window contacts to detect open windows)
- Control of heating / air source heat pump or solar system
- Control of a video intercom system via a tablet

Of course, I have looked into KNX and the material costs alone would be around 6000€ (approximately 6,350 USD). As an alternative, Loxone is mentioned increasingly often, although the proprietary format is a bit off-putting.
My requirements could also be met with a manufacturer-specific system.

Do you have any recommendations for or against home automation (in my case)?

Best regards

I took over the room schedule from ONeil and adapted it to my needs. I created the drawings in Plancal Nova. The basis for this is the architectural plans from our architect. However, I am a system planner for HVAC and have access to the software through work. For laypeople, such programs might be a bit "oversized," especially if you need to learn the software first and only use it once.

Ah, okay, so you did. I had sent it to a few people.

@ONeill Could I possibly get the room schedule as well?

@ONeil, we are also planning to use KNX. Therefore, I would be interested in your room book as well.

My iPhone offers me the home automation feature after the upgrade.
