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

Anything that helps to make the heating more efficient – including building technology (actuators, sensors, possibly a weather station, etc.) – is supported. But that only gives you a smart heating system, not a full smart home. The original poster wants funding for a complete smart home.
And that doesn’t work. If I only install KNX for the heating system, I might as well not bother.
Well, you can cover a large number of KNX devices with just a "smart heating" system.
The question is how far you want to go...
For example, you could include:
- The basic structure of the system (which is essential), such as cable routing, a larger distribution board, power supply, IP interface, and software.
- All push-button sensors with return-through routing (RTR)
- Actuators for the heating valves
And since it’s supposed to be smart, you could also include:
- Window contacts connected to the necessary binary inputs
- Gateway for controlled residential ventilation
- Various temperature sensors
- Weather station
- Logic engine
- Gateway to the heat pump
In my opinion, this already covers a lot regarding KNX installation.

Acquisition costs (replacement and new purchases)
Funding is provided for the implementation of electronic systems aimed at operational optimization, increasing energy efficiency, and improving the grid compatibility of the supported heating systems. In principle, both components of measurement, control, and regulation technology (MCR) as well as building automation technology up to integrated building control and energy management systems can be considered, provided they serve the operational and consumption optimization of an eligible heat generator.
Sensors, actuators, data loggers (e.g., for electricity and heat quantity measurement)
Digital/electronic radiator thermostats / room thermostats
Displays or user interfaces for showing current data relevant to energy consumption
Digital/electronic systems for recording and analyzing energy flows, energy consumption, and energy costs
Digital/electronic systems for energy-related operational and consumption optimization or for improving the grid compatibility of the building’s technical systems (“smart home”)
Building automation systems including field devices, building management systems, energy management systems
b. Assembly and installation
Including all necessary specialist work and materials

Yes, I know the exact wording.That was also meant for the OP.Now he just needs to clarify what exactly his question is. Meanwhile, the topic of age-appropriate housing also came up...

My question is which funding programs I can use for smart home systems. Whether BAFA, KfW, or others. Basically, anything related to this topic.
