  • Proactive management: Failure prevention
  • Recommendations: Improvement suggestions
  • Self-optimisation: Continuous automatic improvement

Concrete example: A typical day with KNX AI

6:30am - Smart wake-up

AI detects your light sleep phase and adjusts the alarm for optimal awakening. Progressive preparation of the environment.

6pm - Adaptive return

Geolocation and traffic analysis to prepare the home before your arrival. Personalised atmosphere based on your mood.

10pm - Predictive night mode

Automatic activation based on your physiological signals and habits. Optimisation for restorative sleep.

2. Universal connectivity: Matter, Thread and 5G

KNX 2025 natively integrates new connectivity standards for total interoperability with all connected ecosystems:

Native Matter/Thread support

Matter integration allows KNX to communicate directly with all compatible devices, whether Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa or Samsung SmartThings:

  • Universal interoperability: A single system for all your devices
  • Simplified installation: Automatic configuration of new equipment
  • Enhanced security: Standard end-to-end encryption
  • Optimised performance: Local communication without cloud

Integrated 5G connectivity

New KNX controllers directly integrate 5G for unprecedented advanced features:

Advanced remote control

  • • HD real-time camera video streaming
  • • Haptic control with force feedback
  • • Augmented reality for maintenance
  • • Integrated video conferencing in intercom

Intelligent cloud services

  • • Cloud AI for complex optimisations
  • • Automatic secure backups
  • • Instant OTA updates
  • • Secure sharing with third-party services

3. Revolutionary interfaces: beyond touch

KNX 2025 interfaces revolutionise interaction with the smart home through cutting-edge technologies:

Conversational voice control

No more robotic commands! KNX 2025 integrates a voice assistant capable of natural and contextual conversations:

Natural conversation examples

'It's a bit cold here'

'I'm raising the temperature by 2°C in the living room. Would you like me to also adjust the other rooms?'

'Prepare the house for tonight, we're hosting 6 people'

'Perfect! I'm activating reception atmosphere, preheating the living room and increasing ventilation. Should I also prepare the outdoor lighting?'

Gesture control and presence recognition

  • Smart 3D cameras: Recognition of gestures and expressions
  • Intent detection: Anticipation of actions before their execution
  • Automatic identification: Personalisation based on detected occupant
  • Virtual control zones: Interaction without physical contact

4. Automated installation and configuration

KNX 2025 drastically simplifies installation and configuration through auto-discovery and intelligent configuration:

Intelligent auto-commissioning

Automatic discovery

  • • Automatic scan of all equipment
  • • Identification of functions and capabilities
  • • Automatic building mapping
  • • Optimal configuration proposal

AI-assisted configuration

  • • Analysis of intended use and needs
  • • Automatic programme generation
  • • Integrated energy optimisation
  • • Automated function testing

Revolutionary configuration interface
