The topic of smart homes is becoming increasingly popular. Among other things, it upgrades one's own property, creates considerable added value in terms of living comfort and at the same time ensures security, as underlined in Cornelius Helm's customer statement:
The Helm Family is Thrilled with Their Smart Home!
"Some time ago, we had the Smart Home solution retrofitted in our own four walls - by a professional specialist company. And: We are all very enthusiastic," emphasizes Cornelius Helm. "We really like the intelligent shutter and light control. In our case, individual rooms, the entire floor or the entire house can be regulated or controlled very easily. Either via the built-in 7" touch panel in the living room wall or via app on the smartphone. By the way, this also works when you are on the road. It happens again and again that we are already sitting in the car and see that the light is still on in the children's room. Then we simply switch it off via app. Operation is easy-peasy!"

Which Solution is the Helm Family Using Exactly?
The family of four had a touch panel from the pureKNX series installed in the living room. The glass front is visually very appealing, easy to clean and especially easy to operate. The communication takes place via KNX-TP to the respective switches. The supply takes over a power supply unit. Thus, the entire building can be comprehensively controlled. But also via pureKNX app the residents have the possibility to access the intelligent system from the road. An individual as well as time-controlled light and shutter control was explicitly important to the Helm family. This makes it easy for outsiders to simulate presence in the house, which should prevent break-ins.

The flexible system adapts to the family!
KNX offers the Helm family a high degree of freedom. All functions can be individually adapted or expanded at any time. After all, no one knows which home automation devices and systems will be integrated into their own smart home in the distant future.

"I'm sure we've put our faith in the right system," Cornelius Helm reveals in conclusion. "The TCI solution is conceivable simple to use, the touch panel is an absolute eye-catcher, and no matter what, this convenient system is expandable to meet our family needs!"
