Living With
- Many are daunted by the sound of home automation. At Tecport we pride ourselves on making homes simpler and allowing them to still operate traditionally. The element of automation is the added feature.
- Common misconception: “Now I need my phone with me always to operate my home.”
- Homes today end up with multiple apps which each have different ways to carry out tasks.
- This results in setting a timer on your air conditioner with one app, then having to set a timer on a light another way and the pool another… plus having to remember the operation of all these apps!
- With Tecport, setting a timer is the same for all elements in the app - garden lighting to pool filtration or air conditioning.
- No more remotes lying around waiting to be misplaced.
Why KNX?
KNX (Konnex) is a building automation language that has been around since 1990. It is an open-source information technology system, meaning it is not exclusive to a single manufacturer. Manufacturers worldwide adopt this standard, enabling their systems to interoperate seamlessly. Unlike proprietary systems, a KNX installation is easy to upgrade.
Tecport utilises Zennio KNX-based technology, the global standard for home and building automation, supported by over 400 manufacturers worldwide. Most automation systems are proprietary, locking you into a single vendor and limiting the level of integration. If your vendor ceased manufacturing the system you purchased, you could be left with a house full of unsupported technology.
While a proprietary vendor offers a single solution, KNX vendors provide hundreds of options. KNX is a fully open and scalable automation solution, enabling a high level of integration that results in energy and cost savings, convenience, and simplicity—all of which enhance your quality of life.
By choosing KNX, you protect your investment. KNX allows products of today to easily integrate with products and technologies of tomorrow.
