Future-Ready Smart Homes with KNX
A smart home is more than controlling separate devices from a mobile phone. It is an integrated environment in which lighting, climate control, blinds and curtains, security, energy management, and entertainment systems work together through one common infrastructure.
At Aret Mühendislik, we design KNX-based smart home solutions that are compatible with products from different manufacturers and can be expanded as your needs change. We manage the complete process—from system design and implementation to ETS programming and commissioning—and create automation scenes tailored to your daily routines.
A properly planned KNX infrastructure creates a secure and energy-efficient living environment where technology remains discreet while comfort is felt throughout the home. New devices and functions can be added over time, keeping your home ready for both today’s requirements and future technologies.
How does a KNX smart home project begin?
ARET Mühendislik is based in Esenyurt, Istanbul. For villa and residential projects, we first review the architectural plans and room-by-room requirements. Once the lighting circuits, blind motors, heating and cooling systems, sensors, and control interfaces are defined, we prepare the KNX application, panel, and wiring plan. Depending on scope, the project then proceeds through ETS programming, on-site testing, and handover of the agreed user scenarios. Read our pre-project KNX guide.
What affects the cost of a KNX smart home system?
There is no single cost per square metre that fits every project. The number of lighting circuits and motorised blinds, dimming method, room-level climate control, sensors, switches and screens, panel capacity, condition of the existing installation, remote access, and third-party integrations all affect the scope. A meaningful quotation follows a site survey and a room-by-room function list. Explore switch and socket options or contact us about your project.
Examples from residential projects
Our project references include 144 villas at 4 Mevsim Istanbul, 441 apartments at Göktürk Kemer Evleri, and 472 villas at Mesa Yeşilyaka Su. Functions, product selection, and implementation scope are planned for each project's specific requirements.
Frequently asked questions
Will a KNX home still work without internet?
Core KNX functions can be designed to operate locally. Remote access depends on the internet connection and network design.
Can KNX products from different brands be used together?
KNX is an open standard, but each product's functions and parameters still need to be checked against the project scenarios.
Can KNX be installed in an existing home?
Feasibility depends on the existing wiring, possible intervention in finished surfaces, and the desired functions. Hybrid options can be considered where appropriate.
What information is useful for a quotation?
Architectural plans, room-by-room lighting and blind lists, climate-control type, desired scenarios, switch and screen preferences, and any integration requirements are a good starting point.
