ONE SYSTEM FOR YOUR WHOLE HOME – KNX HOME CONTROL
KNX home control brings your whole house together into one intelligent, reliable system – lighting, heating and cooling, blinds, security, entertainment and energy, all working in harmony and controlled from wherever you are. DUKE Electrical Group, certified KNX Partners, are one of Melbourne’s most experienced KNX teams, designing and installing smart homes that are genuinely a pleasure to live with.
Because KNX is an open worldwide standard rather than a single brand’s ecosystem, a KNX home is future-proof: you can add and upgrade devices from hundreds of manufacturers over the years without tearing anything out. It is the same standard used in some of the world’s most sophisticated homes, and we bring that capability to Melbourne homeowners.
What a KNX smart home does for you
Everything, connected. Lights dim, blinds close, climate adjusts and music follows you – one tap, one scene, one beautifully simple experience instead of a dozen separate apps.
Comfort that anticipates you. Sensors and schedules mean your home is warm, well-lit and secure when you arrive, and quietly powers down when you leave.
Control from anywhere. Wall switches and touch panels for the family, plus phone and tablet control and voice assistants when you want them.
Bring your whole home together with KNX. Call DUKE Electrical Group on 1300 003 853 to design a smart home that is powerful under the hood and effortless to live with, delivered by one of Melbourne’s most experienced KNX teams.

FAQ
What is KNX home control?
KNX home control is a whole-home automation system built on the open KNX standard. It unifies lighting, heating and cooling, blinds, security, entertainment and energy into one integrated system you control from switches, panels and your phone, rather than juggling separate apps and gadgets.
Why choose KNX over a proprietary smart-home system?
KNX is an open international standard with 500+ manufacturers, so you are never locked into one brand and can upgrade or expand for decades. Proprietary systems like Control4 have their own strengths too, and we install both – we will recommend whichever best fits your priorities.
Can KNX control heating, blinds and security as well as lighting?
Yes. That is the whole point of KNX – one system for everything. Lighting, HVAC, motorised blinds and shading, security, access and energy can all run on the same KNX platform and work together through scenes and automation.
Can I control my KNX home when I'm away?
Yes. With secure remote access you can check and control your home from anywhere – adjust climate before you arrive, check that everything is off, or run a holiday presence-simulation that makes the home look occupied.
Is KNX hard to use for the family?
Not at all when it is set up well. We design intuitive switches and clearly-labelled scenes so everyday control is simple for everyone, with phone and voice control available when you want more.
Can KNX integrate with the systems I already have?
Usually yes. KNX integrates with a wide range of equipment and standards, including DALI lighting, audio-visual systems, intercoms and more. During design we map what you have and build the integration around it.
How reliable is a KNX home?
Very. KNX is a decentralised system, meaning devices make decisions locally and keep working even if one part goes offline. It is a mature, standardised technology trusted in millions of installations worldwide, which is exactly why we recommend it for a home you will rely on daily.
Can you upgrade or take over an existing KNX home?
Yes. We regularly expand, re-program and take over KNX homes installed by others – documenting the system in ETS, tidying the programming and adding new functions. See our KNX retrofit and upgrades page.
