Best retrofit smart home new build

did you install opus at your home?

With Loxone you are tied to the manufacturer and the air version is basically meant only as an addition to the bus, just like with KNX, isn’t it?

@untergasse43 did you install opus at your home?

No, but some experience with it.

Ok opus definitely makes the shortlist, I find the system quite interesting

What other alternatives are there?

Z-Z-Wave

Any more alternatives?

Connected Home over IP but that will take a while and it is uncertain how long the product life cycle will then be. So probably not for you after all.

I still have time We have to wait about 1 - 1.5 years until the handover. If we have to retrofit anyway and the wait might be worth it, I would probably even do it I just want to inquire about everything as early as possible and roughly estimate the costs to know how much we can spend at most

No, Geiger shutter motors have had Air for a long time, and many interfaces allow integration of third-party manufacturers. Besides, there is a huge community that develops interfaces for Loxone.
