Hello everyone,

I am about to start building and have the following systems planned. However, I am not sure how to best implement them.

Heating: Viessmann Vitodens 300-W
Ventilation: Zehnder Q450
Air conditioning: Daikin Emura (living room + child’s bedroom 1 + child’s bedroom 2)
Door communication: Open, target setup: video + preferably fingerprint
Home cinema (on the living floor): motorized screen + motorized curtain

I would like to control heating, ventilation, and air conditioning via apps. Each manufacturer offers a separate app for this, which would be acceptable to me.

On the living floor, I want to control 4 blinds, at least 4 lighting zones, the motorized screen, and the motorized curtain via a touch panel. Ideally, this panel would be the same one used for door communication. I want to control all other floors conventionally.

How would you organize this?

I have everything integrated with KNX; due to the minimal cost savings, in my opinion, it wasn’t worthwhile to install an additional bus system. However, I often consider adding DMX in the future, for example, for outdoor lighting and interior accent lighting.

These were exactly my thoughts as well. Since my girlfriend currently isn’t interested in effects or special lighting, we’ll probably just leave it as it is for now. [emoji6]
