When it comes to smart home automation, no name carries more weight than KNX. For over three decades, it has been the gold standard for professional-grade projects across the world — powering everything from luxury villas to airports and hospitals. Its strengths are undeniable: reliability, scalability, and an open ecosystem supported by over 500 manufacturers. Yet for many, KNX has also carried a reputation for being complex and hard to implement. Until now.

The Challenge: Complexity Slowed Adoption

KNX is powerful because it was designed for professionals. But that also made it intimidating. Programming every device in ETS, then repeating the process in a control system, often meant weeks of work. For integrators, this complexity slowed down deployments. For homeowners, especially in India, KNX remained admired but out of reach — seen as a luxury only for a few.

The Cue Approach: Simplifying Without Compromising

Cue set out to change that. We didn’t reinvent KNX — we made it simpler, faster, and more user-friendly, while keeping its professional backbone intact.

• Cue Desk automates device mapping, reading ETS projects directly and reducing integration from weeks to a single day.

• Matter Integration means KNX can now coexist seamlessly with the growing ecosystem of consumer smart devices, making projects more flexible and future-proof.

• Home Assistant at the Core provides the modern software foundation — robust, open-source, and backed by a global community, ensuring Cue projects remain adaptable and secure.

Together, this creates the world’s most robust technology stack: KNX for reliability, Matter for interoperability, and Home Assistant for intelligence and flexibility. Cue combines these to bring the best of everything into one integrated system.

What This Means for Indian Homes

India is at an inflection point. Property prices are at record highs, and the additional cost of KNX automation often represents just 2–3% of total home value. With Cue simplifying the process, KNX is no longer restricted to high-end villas. It can now scale across apartments, gated communities, and commercial spaces.

For homeowners, that means:

• Reliability: systems that keep working even when the internet goes down.

• Flexibility: Apple, Google, and Alexa compatibility built in.

• User-Centric Design: the ability to customize scenes and automations directly, on top of a professional backbone.

Empowering Professionals, Expanding the Network

Cue’s mission isn’t just about technology. It’s about people. We are expanding India’s professional network by working with KNX-certified integrators and making training and licensing more accessible. Simplification doesn’t replace professional expertise, it enhances it, ensuring every project is delivered with precision and global standards.

The Bottom Line

KNX has always been the gold standard of smart home automation. Cue is making it practical, scalable, and mainstream for India. By combining KNX, Matter, and Home Assistant into one seamless stack, Cue delivers a platform that is cost-effective, user-friendly, and future-proof.

For integrators, architects, and developers, this is the moment: KNX simplified with Cue is ready to power the next million smart homes in India.
