Lighting and automation
DALI lighting responds to KNX commands from Ekinex keypads and can also be managed through the control interface.
RESIDENTIAL · 2024 · 310 m²
A solution requested by the architect: KNX automation, security and audio, with Control4 for the villa’s everyday operation.
We handled KNX design, supply, programming and testing, working with the partner who carried out the installation.
IMPLEMENTED FUNCTIONS
DALI lighting responds to KNX commands from Ekinex keypads and can also be managed through the control interface.
Wall keypads also operate blinds and motorised shading, bringing room functions together.
Temperature control and HVAC with sensors in the keypads. Humidity sensors regulate summer dehumidification.
Supply and programming of the alarm system, connected to Control4 for operation through the home’s shared interface.
Cameras with video analytics, supplied and configured as part of the villa’s security system.
The 2N IP Verso door station shares Control4 touchscreens and the app with the other systems, without separate controls.
Six audio zones with Triad amplification and matrix, Revel speakers and music control through Control4.
The living room features an LG OLED TV, Arcam AVR10 amplifier and Origin Acoustic in-wall speakers for surround sound.
The Araknis and Aruba network connects the systems on dedicated segments. VPN access enables remote support and changes.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
Programming connects KNX, security, video intercom and entertainment through dedicated drivers. From lighting to the living room, functions are available on Control4 touchscreens and the app.
One action coordinates several systemsMultiroom listening becomes part of the villa’s scenes: one button recalls music and automation together, without issuing each command separately.
