The platforms already on your phone.
Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings through the Matter bridge we make ourselves. The installation runs on KNX locally, so the house keeps working when the internet does not.
We integrate thisBest device on the market, specified and commissioned by us. We answer for compatibility, not for the badge on it.
What the bridge gives you.
One bridge, four platforms
Included in every kit at no extra cost, because it is our hardware rather than a line item.
Local control
The bridge talks to the KNX bus directly. If our servers went dark tomorrow, every switch would still switch.
Voice where it helps
Lighting, climate and scenes by voice; the things that genuinely need a phone stay in the app.
Published limits
The compatibility matrix says what each platform cannot do, with the date we last tested.
What the platforms cannot do
Google Home still does not expose generic switch types, and Apple Home and Google Home do not read energy metering at all. These are platform limits, not ours — we publish them and update the page the week they change.
Four ways to reach the house.
They are not equivalent, and the order matters: the ones nearest the top keep working when everything else fails.
The keypad on the wall
Always the primary control. It works with no phone, no account and no internet, and a guest can use it without being taught anything.
The app
For the things a wall control cannot do: energy history, schedules, remote release, and setting a scene from a chair rather than from the door.
Voice
Genuinely useful for scenes and for single devices by name. Poor for anything requiring a list, which is why we set the scenes rather than exposing 118 circuits.
Automations
Time, sun position, occupancy and sensor triggers running on the KNX bus itself — so they keep running whether or not any platform is reachable.
Five things that decide whether voice is used.
Most voice control is abandoned within a month, and it is almost always for one of these reasons.
Naming is the whole experience
“Living room ceiling three” will never be said out loud. Names are agreed with the family on handover day, in the language they will actually use.
Expose scenes, not circuits
A platform showing 118 devices is unusable. We expose the scenes and the rooms; the circuits stay on the bus where they belong.
Platform scenes do not travel
A scene built in Apple Home is invisible to Alexa. Anything that matters is built on the KNX side, which every platform can then trigger.
One bridge, one account, decided early
Which household account owns the bridge determines who can share access later. Changing it afterwards means re-pairing every device.
We publish what breaks
When a platform update removes a capability, it goes on the compatibility page with the date rather than being quietly dropped. That page is the honest measure of this whole layer.
