I no longer see any reason to have expensive central controls when everything can be controlled decentrally.
Me neither, which is why I see only growth and an even larger market share than already now for KNX.
The large switches on the wall near the object remain operable.
What a blessing that with KNX you can connect everything that comes to mind.
Other solutions sooner or later puzzle us, and the supposed gain in comfort becomes a curse.
The many proprietary solutions with their micro switches and mini displays, which were made for conventional house wiring—certainly. Problems are practically preprogrammed here.
and apps need updates, suddenly look different than before, and cause frustration. Simple solutions often have advantages.
Exactly, KNX is one of them. No apps if you don’t want them and no updates either. Still competitive and leading for decades.
And at some point we’ll realize again to “decontaminate” our environment from all the signals...
Yes, that is one of the big disadvantages of radio technology. For this reason, I see all the radio protocols in the smart home sector as a useful addition, but not as the royal road.
