KNX vs WiFi Automation — Which is right for you?
The short answer
KNX for villas you'll own for 25+ years. WiFi for apartments and homes you may move out of. Both are excellent when correctly designed.
KNX, explained
KNX is a wired international standard with 30+ years of reliability. The wiring is decentralised — each device on the bus communicates without a central server. It is what palaces, embassies, Bvlgari hotels and Aman resorts use.
WiFi, explained
Modern WiFi smart home systems run on your home network with local LAN failover. They are remarkably reliable when designed by professionals — and far more flexible because you can add devices anytime.
Which one to pick
Villa from scratch? KNX. Renovation? KNX or WiFi. Apartment? WiFi. Rental? WiFi (Retro Module). When in doubt, book a private consultation with us — we will recommend honestly.
