THE ULTIMATE IN BUILDING AUTOMATION
System 
A global standard in smart control of residential, office, industrial and commercial buildings. Stand-alone devices included in the KNX system are connected together into one "intercommunicating" network that allows you to build an integrated structure of all systems.
The building automation system, in the KNX standard, can be co-created by devices from different
manufacturers. Compatibility of all modules, and at the same time their compliance with the
requirements
of the standard, is tested in an independent laboratory accredited by the KNX Association. There are
16
such entities in the world. One of them is the SATEL Accredited Test Laboratory - the first in
Eastern Europe. It is a fully autonomous unit authorized to test the interworking and functionality
of
KNX devices and their software.
Accreditation of the KNX Association confirms the highest competence of SATEL specialists in the
field
of testing KNX devices. This authorizes our company to perform tests of any building automation
modules
in the KNX standard, at the request of their manufacturers. Products that obtain a positive result
can
be marked with the KNX logo, as well as configured in the ETS environment and integrated with other
modules.

How it works?
KNX offers you almost infinite possibilities. Let your imagination run wild, and see for yourself how KNX solutions can transform your home and company.
For your Home
With KNX you gain more than just additional free time. Your smart home will carry out selected tasks, taking over some of your everyday responsibilities. You are left to enjoy time with your family and friends.
Ideal climate
The temperature in each room changes automatically to meet your preferences. The system constantly monitors the weather and adjusts the performance of individual systems (heating, air conditioning, blinds) in order to maintain the optimal temperature level according to your expectations.
Use the magic of light
Intensity and type of lighting will always suit your mood! It takes just one click to start a selected light scene. Therefore, the brightness of the light points you choose will immediately adjust to changing circumstances. When you leave for vacation, the system will control the lighting in such a way as to simulate the presence of the household members. This simple procedure will discourage potential burglars who might be watching the house.
Caring for the environment and your wallet
Intelligent technologies also save energy and, consequently, are eco-friendly. Leaving the house? The system automatically turns off devices that do not need to work when you are absent. It also turns off the lighting, and in winter it switches the heating over to ECO mode to save energy.
Easy wake-up
For a great start to your day, the system raises the blinds and tilts the window open to let the first rays of sunshine and fresh air into the bedroom. Your dog can go out into the garden, because the pet door has just been unlocked. Your favorite music in the background puts you in a good mood. In a moment, the system will wake up the children as well. Today will be a nice day!
Let's watch a movie
A movie night with friends? Look how the room can change into a modern cinema! In a few moments, the projection screen is lowered and the projector is turned on. All lighting gets dimmed, except for some delicate light spots, for example, above the snack corner. The windows blinds go down, creating the right mood and comfortable viewing conditions. The player starts playing the movie you have selected.
Relax after a hard day
Relaxing on the terrace on a sunny afternoon? The system automatically opens the awning, providing you comfortable shade. In the evening, a romantic garden light comes on, which helps you relax after a day full of challenges. Also, on cooler days you can enjoy the pleasures of resting on the terrace ‒ the system will then start IR heaters that emit pleasant warmth.
Windows under control
Windows in your smart home can be controlled automatically. Depending on the circumstances and the needs of your household, they can be automatically opened, tilted or closed. In addition, when controlling the anti-burglary roller shutters, blinds and electric curtain track, the system will adjust the level of window covering to suit your preferences.
Winter morning
It was snowing all night, wasn't it? The system will take care of heating the driveway, so you do not have any more to clear it from snow yourself. Instead of doing this, you can spend your time having breakfast with your family or for some extra sleep.
Electronic gardener
The garden will always look thriving and fresh! Your smart home also takes care of it by automatically selecting the right watering program to match the current level of soil moisture. It also sees to it that particular plant species receive exactly as much water as they need. That's why you do not have to bother yourself any longer with watering the garden ‒ regardless of whether you are at home or, for example, on vacation.
For your Company
With KNX automation both you and your employees can fully focus on carrying your assignments. Our intelligent system takes care of everything else, creating ideal working conditions. There is more possibilities than you think.
More savings for you and your company
With our intelligent system you can be sure your company saves more money. Outside working hours the system cuts off power to office devices, otherwise powered for no reason, wasting electricity during your employees’ absence. The system can turn off lights in unused rooms, and adjust temperature during winter time. By saving energy, you also take real action against global warming.
Office ready for your arrival
Start your important tasks with no delay. The system automatically opens window shutters, and turns on air conditioning before the working day starts. You or your team do not need to even think about such actions, fully focusing on your work instead.
Ideal working conditions
With KNX automation the best working atmosphere is always there. The system monitors weather conditions in real time, adjusting all the building installation autonomously. For example windows get closed during rain, and lighting is adjusted on a sunny day.
Impress your clients
A moment is all it takes for our intelligent system to create the perfect atmosphere for your meeting, taking care of air condition, ideal lighting, and temperature. The system can also create the best conditions for you and your quests to fully focus on the topic at hand: it can change transparency level of glass walls to invoke the feeling of privacy. With a partner like this every business is successful.
Deal with faults immediately
When any of office components fails, the intelligent system immediately displays the trouble location on touchscreen keypad. Employees responsible for technical support of your facility can quickly fix the problem. Sudden faults can’t bother you or your team for too long.
Full security after work
Triggering an “exit” scenario causes our intelligent system to prepare office for your absence. It automatically detects any needlessly working elements, like lights or air conditioning, and turns them off, closes windows, outside roller shutters, turns the heating to ECO mode and finally arms the alarm system. You can fully relax after work, knowing your business is well protected and taken care of.

KNX integration with the alarm system
Integration of systems based on the INTEGRA and INTEGRA Plus control panels with a wide range of KNX devices extends capabilities of both systems. For everyday control of the two systems, you can use touch-screen keypads such as INT-TSI, which are part of the alarm system. This translates into cost optimization, as there is no need to duplicate the control devices. The intuitive INTEGRA CONTROL mobile application is used for remote control of the alarm system and part of the KNX system functions. The INT-KNX-2 module is an indispensable element for the integration of both systems.
INT-KNX-2 integration module
INT-KNX-2 allows you to control KNX actuators using one of the INTEGRA family control panel. It also offers the possibility of information feedback from the KNX system to the control panel. The module is equipped with a KNX socket, through which it is connected directly to the KNX bus. The module settings are configured from the DLOADX program.
Why INTEGRA with KNX?
It is a solution for people who are looking for something more than just the standard functionality of an alarm system or KNX system.
enhancement of both systems' capabilities because of synergy effect
reduction of the overall installation costs
meeting even the most demanding customers' expectations

and INTEGRA
See what your perfect day in a smart and secure
home can look like
Good morning
Even before the alarm clock rings, the temperature in the house will adjust to suit your preferences. In winter, floor heating will also turn on ‒ thus, when you get out of bed, your feet will come in contact with a pleasantly warm floor. In the meantime, the system turns on your favorite music, which gently wakes you up from sleep and fills with positive energy.
You need light to wake up. In summer, the motorized blinds or curtains open smoothly, and in winter, the lamps light up the room gently enough not to dazzle your eyes ‒ you decide yourself what the light intensity should be.
Fresh air will make you feel even better. The window in the bedroom will tilt open automatically or you can do it remotely yourself. Regardless of the option, the system will turn off the heating immediately to prevent the temperature from dropping below the level which is comfortable for you.
Morning bathroom routine? After a hot shower, you can also be sure that the mirrors in the bathroom will not fog, because the system will heat them up.
When you enter the living room, the TV turns to your favorite news channel. Before the espresso machine calls you gently into the kitchen, you will feel the aroma of freshly brewed coffee.
Good night
