Multiple levels and reinforced structures change wireless design
Landed homes
One smart home, across every floor.
We plan the network, controls, security connections and optional KNX or Home Assistant integration across the whole property.
From the PFE project libraryStart with the property
Good design begins with the building.
Gates, intercoms, CCTV and outdoor zones cross several trades
Central air-conditioning and plant equipment need deliberate interfaces
Long project timelines make documentation and change control essential
A few possibilities
Useful changes to everyday life.
A welcoming arrival
Coordinate the gate, entry lights and cooling in selected rooms, while keeping their normal switches and remotes available.
Ready for bed or a day out
One scene can turn off selected lights, close blinds and activate your chosen security sensors across the property.
One view across systems
KNX, selected proprietary systems and newer wireless devices can be shown together in one clear interface.
What makes it work
A few details make all the difference.
- Use wired connections for access points and important controllers wherever practical
- Plan Zigbee, Thread and Wi-Fi coverage for the whole property
- Treat gate, CCTV and intercom equipment as security infrastructure
- Keep KNX where it is already doing the durable building-control work well
Give KNX and Home Assistant the jobs they do best
An existing or planned KNX system does not need to be replaced to gain a modern interface and broader integrations. KNX can continue to handle dependable building controls while Home Assistant brings systems together and adds carefully chosen automations.
We record which system is responsible for each function. Essential lighting and climate controls should not rely on an experimental connection simply because it looked good in a demonstration.
Plan the network with the rest of the home
Weak coverage, roaming problems and an overloaded router become obvious quickly in a landed property. Access-point locations, wired cabling, equipment space and administrator access should be planned early, alongside the lighting and curtains.
What shapes the quote
See how pricing worksPlan the scope around your home.
We quote landed projects based on the network, the number of systems involved and any existing KNX, security or building controls that will remain. Floor area alone does not tell us how much work the home needs.
Good to know
What homeowners usually ask.
Can Home Assistant integrate with KNX?+
Yes. A documented KNX/IP interface can share selected KNX controls and information with Home Assistant. We keep the responsibilities clear so the connection adds useful features without making the home less reliable.
Should a landed home rely entirely on wireless devices?+
Usually not. Wired network backhaul and suitable wired control remain valuable for critical and high-traffic systems. Wireless protocols are then used deliberately where they offer flexibility or avoid unnecessary construction.
When should the integrator join a landed project?+
Before the electrical, lighting, network and ceiling plans are final. Early coordination prevents duplicate systems and equipment being hidden where it cannot be serviced.
Can the work be phased?+
Yes, if the base network, wiring allowances and control boundaries are designed for the later phases from the start.

A short conversation before the drawings are fixed can save awkward compromises later.
