How Gira KNX home automation works.

KNX is the universal standard for smart building technology across the globe. Hundreds of manufacturers, including Sony, Bosch, Siemens, and Gira have developed their own solutions according to that standard.

The base for a connected Smart Home is a green cable, which must be laid in addition to regular power supply lines during a new construction or renovation. This cable enables you to link the different KNX-compatible components of your house. The wired system furthermore consists of: 

  • sensors 

  • receiving units 

  • control units such as switches, smartphones, and Gira G1 

Once the KNX installation is completed, all integrated devices can interact with each other.  

The KNX cable connects control units with your lights, heating system, and blinds.

More possibilities with Gira KNX RF.

Due to its wired network, a conventional KNX system can only be retrofitted with considerable effort. If you want to set up your Smart Home in an existing building, there’s now a new alternative: the wireless Gira KNX RF system does not require any additional cabling.   

Gira KNX Smart Home: living comfort all around.

Apart from lights, blinds, and heating, you can control a variety of other functions with KNX technology, including:

If you own a Sonos sound system or Philips Hue lights, you can integrate these into your Gira KNX system as well.  

Gira Smart Home app: easy control via smartphone.

Monitoring your entire Gira KNX system works though one compact server: the Gira X1. With the Gira Smart Home app, all it takes is a simple swipe to keep your home in check. You can also create scenes, i. e. sequences of automated functions. By way of example, a “cinema” scene may look somewhat like this:  

  • lights in the living room are dimmed, 

  • your Philips Hue lights switch to a warm colour, 

  • the TV is turned on, 

  • blinds are lowered. 

All of this happens simultaneously as soon as you activate the scene manually via switch, on your tablet or smartphone, or via voice command.   

Stay up-to-date – with your personalised interface.

Lights on and off, temperatures up or down, reactivating scenes or creating new ones: the Gira X1 app serves as the central control unit for your whole KNX system. To help you keep an overview, the app’s interface can be adjusted to your personal preferences. This allows you to: 

  • set up different categories for each room in your house (f. ex. all functions available in the bathroom, kitchen, or bedroom) 

  • use distinct icons and colours to mark certain categories and features 

Thanks to the remote access device Gira S1, you can use the app from anywhere – on your couch, at the office, or even on the road.  

In KNX Smart Homes, vacuum cleaners run according to automated schedules or on demand.
