Cadielsa – Smartbuilding & AR

Own challenge

You and your team have your own solution to save energy and to measure the reduction of the CO2 footprint impact. We are looking forward to meeting your ideas.

The excess of energy generation

What to do with an excess of energy can also become an additional problem when aiming to be sustainable. It is therefore also important to make proper use of that extra energy. The challenge here is to find the best solution for it once all demand is fully covered already.

The energy management application that integrates renewable sources of energy to a home

Being sustainable can be seen from different perspectives. A main use case of sustainability comes when renewable sources of energy take part as a supply for consumption in smart homes or buildings. By integrating such sources of energy, we don’t only lower the dependency to the grid, but drastically reduce the CO2 carbon footprint. It is your challenge to build a solution, service or project that integrates one or more renewable sources of energy to a smart home project.

The best solution that combines products to reduce the use of energy of different devices

It is often necessary to combine different devices to create a solution that fulfills the requirements in smart home and or building projects. For instance, to monitor the use of energy it is needed to create a project with different sensors, actuators, interfaces, monitors and screens, and even specific monitoring software might be required to create an integral solution that helps the user to save energy as well as to reduce the carbon footprint. Other examples can be saving in the use of heating systems, air-conditioning, etc. It is your challenge to create a solution that creates the perfect mix.

The best product that saves the most energy

When working in the arena of smart homes and smart buildings, we need to use individual devices to save energy. There are lots of smart products, it is your challenge to make the best configuration of the specific device you select so that it helps achieve saving energy where it is installed.

KNX IP 4.0

The process culminates in the development of a fully and truly connected network when combining all possibilities. For example: KNX classic, KNX net/IP, KNX IoT Third Party API, and KNX IoT Point API, with the semantics of the information model on top of all, makes the possibilities to connect with any KNX product and solution limitless.

As we have already witnessed this opens new business opportunities under the so-called Services with KNX.

KNX was born to integrate diverse applications from different vendors into one common project for smart home and building. Now, customers demand more comprehensive solutions, and so professionals have asked us for new technology. That’s why we’ve developed Services with KNX, a consequence of the unlimited possibilities KNX IoT brings to the technology. 

Thanks to Services with KNX, professionals can extend their portfolio with new services, and so end-customers will be able to see all their needs integrated through the whole project. A more connected world for Smart Living.

KNX IP 3.0

Thirdly, with the open source technology KNX Point API, we optimize and make the language fully agile by implementing the construction of truly IP networks which can integrate a scalable number of devices, so you can do less and enjoy more. Moreover, we still guarantee the highest security so your home or building is always protected.

By 2022, KNX Point API will allow IPv6 communication, and so enable installations to be extended with devices using media like Thread or WiFi to exchange KNX data.

KNX IP 2.0

Secondly, we expand the integration possibilities thanks to the newly approved standard KNX Third Party API and the KNX Information Model. We open a new era of connections through a common language by KNX, oriented to make life easy and, moreover, smart. We are preparing the path for not only smart homes and buildings, but also smart cities. 

Thanks to the KNX Third Party API, we expand cloud integration with bidirectional communication between KNX and and the third party. Cloud applications can, therefore, subscribe to information on demand, minimising costs and data transfer to the cloud.

Because of the widespread use of the internet, the market demands a well documented way to interact with every system, using the mechanisms and codes of the IT industry. This is now possible thanks to the KNX Information Model, so that all projects are better documented for KNX professionals and any other IT professional willing to connect with KNX over IP.

KNX IP 1.0

KNXnet/IP was the first step we took back in 2007. We opened our doors to the IP world, enabling, creating, and standardizing new integrated connections, while improving the KNX security system within the IoT world with KNX IP Secure. 

KNX IP Secure extends the IP protocol in such a way that all transferred telegrams and data are completely encrypted. In addition, KNX Data Secure effectively protects user data against unauthorised access and manipulation by means of encryption and authentication. Learn more about KNX Secure.
