— Interactive · live scene state
One panel. The whole apartment responds.
Tap a scene. Every circuit, shade, AC zone and AV source shifts at once. KNX TP1 backbone, Rako Wireless overlays, DALI lighting bus.
· Why it matters
A scene is not a button — it is the result of 84 control points moving in concert. Lights, shades, AC zones, AV sources, security, intercom. The panel hides the engineering; the engineering is the whole point. KNX as the backbone gives forty-year longevity and vendor independence; Rako handles the wireless retrofit overlays; DALI carries the lighting bus. This module shows what the engineering actually delivers.
· Frequently asked
Whole-home automation —
what people ask first.
Is this a real apartment?
The render is a reference 4 BHK — the scene framework, zone count and protocol decisions are the practice's standard for a residence of this class. We deploy variations of this scene framework across most premium projects.
Why KNX as the backbone instead of Rako-only?
KNX is an ISO 14543 open standard with a forty-year operational horizon and multi-vendor support. Rako and DALI sit as overlays on KNX where retrofit, wireless or specific lighting-bus advantages apply. For a building that will outlive its first integrator, the KNX decision pays itself back many times in the third decade.
How many scenes does a typical 4 BHK actually use?
Six to eight, in our experience. The owner uses two or three daily; the rest cover defined moments — guests, holidays, away mode, sleep. We tune the scene list during commissioning, not at design — what the family actually does dictates the panel, not what an integrator imagines.
Can the scenes be edited after handover?
Yes — without an engineer visit, through the homeowner app. Anything that does not change the underlying topology (zone re-allocation, fixture changes) is handled by the family. Topology changes route through us.
What does the lighting bus look like physically?
DALI 2 wired bus from each ceiling driver back to a central rack, with KNX TP1 carrying scene state and per-zone setpoints. Wireless retrofit zones (where opening up the ceiling was not on the table) sit on Rako Wireless and bridge to the same scene graph through a gateway.
