CEDIA Expo 2018 sees Control4 launch a KNX solution, together with the addition of KNX support within Control4 OS and a new KNX product line allowing installers to deliver "superior experiences" in smart homes in Germany and the UK.
The release deeply integrates KNX in the Control4 ecosystem, with 100 products covering lighting, HVAC, blinds and rollers, keypads, frames and bus management. A new Control4 KNX Network driver, supported in the latest Control4 OS release, natively connects to existing KNX devices within the home without need for 3rd party integration, enabling interoperability with the entire Control4 ecosystem, as well as support for Amazon Alexa voice control and over 12000 other connected products.
The Control4 KNX solution provides the full Control4 experience to customers, with home control via mobile app, touchscreens, handheld remote and voice. In addition, homeowners can directly fine-tune home automation using When>>Then, a "unique and innovative" take on personalisation not available in most KNX systems.
In addition, the line is easy to install and program using existing ETS tools, and includes an automatic import into Control4 projects. The integration promises simple tie programming-- such as streaming audio-- to a KNX keypad button press or adding Alexa voice control to lighting scenes (if available).
The product portfolio is available now.
