HAUS LOGIC
Island-living villas engineered to work without surprises. KNX backbone, Home Assistant overlay, brand-neutral specification, local-first operation.
Typical villa size
6,000–12,000 sq ft
Lake-facing villas across 50 themed islands.
Community
Gated, lake-front
Per-island layout drives compact zoning and lakeside lighting strategy.
Climate consideration
55°C summers, lake humidity
Localised humidity from the lakes affects HVAC dehumidification load.
Landscape constraint
Lake frontage, mature gardens
Lakeside outdoor lighting must be glare-controlled and respectful of neighbours.
KNX backbone, Home Assistant overlay, marine-rated outdoor specification.
Capability
Every fixture is addressable through KNX with DALI on architectural luminaires. Lakeside outdoor lighting is glare-controlled with tightly specified beam angles to respect neighbours across the water. Scenes are deterministic states the system holds reliably across decades.
Capability
Lake humidity raises dehumidification load relative to inland sites. KNX integrates the VRF or chilled-water plant with fresh-air units, dehumidification, and per-room setpoints. Cooling and dehumidification are coordinated as one system to prevent indoor surface condensation in cooler months.
Capability
Motorised blinds and pergola shading respond to azimuth and indoor temperature. The system extends usable hours on lakeside terraces by managing solar gain proactively. Marine-rated motors and tracks are specified for lake-side exposure.
Capability
Access control, intrusion, surveillance, and intercom integrate at the bus level. Marine-rated outdoor cameras, lake-side perimeter sensors, and dock-side lighting all coordinate. The system runs locally and continues during internet outages.
Capability
Enterprise Wi-Fi engineered to survey across the villa and lakeside terraces. VLAN-segregated IoT, hardwired backbone, and offsite VPN form the substrate. Family, guest, staff, and IoT traffic are isolated. Marine-grade outdoor APs are weatherised.
Capability
Whole-villa metering, circuit-level submetering, solar PV integration, and EV charger orchestration coordinated through KNX and Home Assistant. Loads are shed or shifted in response to peak tariff. Monthly reports benchmark against similar Jumeirah Islands villas.
Capability
Home Assistant runs locally on the property. Custom dashboards on recessed touch panels, iPad wall panels, and mobile. Dashboards are tuned per user, owner, family, staff, with role-appropriate controls only.
Jumeirah Islands organises its villas across 50 themed islands around a series of artificial lakes. The per-island layout produces compact, well-defined plots where the automation strategy can be tightly zoned and the outdoor lighting plan has to work simultaneously for the resident and for the neighbours across the water. Glare control, beam angle, and colour temperature on lakeside facades are part of the design brief, not an afterthought.
Localised humidity from the lakes raises dehumidification load on the HVAC system relative to inland Dubai sites. We coordinate fresh-air handling, dehumidification, and shading as one system rather than three, which keeps interior comfort consistent and prevents the indoor surface condensation that plagues poorly designed lakeside homes during the cooler months.
For Jumeirah Islands our standard is a KNX wired backbone, Home Assistant overlay, marine-rated outdoor enclosures, and a glare-controlled landscape lighting plan. The system runs locally, has no cloud dependency for core control, and is fully documented at handover. We commission against a sign-off checklist with the owner present, and we leave behind everything an independent integrator would need to take over.
Complete KNX automation for a private villa in Dubai, featuring Zennio Z50 room controllers, Gira HomeServer visualisation, and intelligent presence-based control throughout. The system integrates lighting, climate, and blinds with automated scenes that adapt to occupancy.
