KNX smart home intercom recommendation - single-family house

Ah okay.. How would you implement that then? We want to give our kiddies the possibility to see who is there via cam.

Use a Doorbird video indoor station or the app on a suitably mounted tablet (or several). Within your LAN, you don't need a cloud if you don't need to see the doorbell when you're away.

Which visualization can you basically recommend?
I use an Android phone but my wife uses Apple.

It depends whether you want something ready-made or are looking for a new hobby :) I mostly use Basalte or Control4, depending on the requirements. At home, besides Control4, I also run HomeAssistant for deeper functions. In the KNX world, I find the Jung Smart Visu Server ("normal" or Pro) pretty good as well.

For my new build, I might go with Basalte or Control4 with PEAKnx/Youvi, depending on how far those are by then. Except for HomeAssistant, you need an installer for the ones mentioned; you can't do it yourself. Others like Eisbär (though it costs a bit), ioBroker covers a lot and is easy to set up. Colleagues swear by IP Symcon... there are no general recommendations. Either you get deeply into the topic yourself or you hire someone for money.

Phew, that’s a lot for me to research now :) So, I don’t want to get deeply into it. Plus, a friend who is basically very fit can do all the programming :) Is any of the visualizations you mentioned compatible with both Android and Apple? I still refuse to switch to Apple.

Especially since a friend is allowed to do all the programming who is generally very proficient at it

Then just ask him. If he is very proficient, he should be able to recommend and implement something.

Yes, all of them.

Then just ask him. If he is very skilled, he should be able to recommend and implement something. Yes, all.

So he is basically just skilled when it comes to programming, that’s what I meant :) he also programmed his house himself. But he only knows that one software. Many thanks for your recommendations! I’ll get to work :)

So apparently it is a closed system... so it won't work to integrate a tablet...

I agree with you that it doesn't work with HomeKit. Besides that, however, they offer an app that runs on smartphones and iPads for "rudimentary" functions.

For my new build, I might opt for Basalte or Control4 with PEAKnx/Youvi, depending on how far each has progressed.

With Youvi, you can only use PEAKnx hardware, is that correct?!
