Question 1

What types of projects do you take on?

Accepted Answer

We specialise in complete building automation for villas, apartments, and commercial spaces across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Our KNX and Haus Logic dashboard approach is designed for projects where lighting, climate, blinds, security, networking, and energy need to work together as an integrated system. We focus on properties that benefit from wired infrastructure and professional-grade reliability rather than single-room or gadget-only installations.

Question 2

Do you only work with one brand, or can you use what I already have?

Accepted Answer

We design around KNX, the open European standard for building automation, combined with the Haus Logic dashboard for intelligent orchestration. This approach gives access to devices from over 500 manufacturers without vendor lock-in. For existing properties, we assess current hardware and integrate what works into a unified wired backbone, adding the software layer needed for dashboards, advanced logic, and future expansion.

Question 3

Can you take over an existing system?

Accepted Answer

Yes, provided the underlying wiring and hardware are structurally sound. We begin with a comprehensive audit, stabilise and optimise what's already installed, then extend or reprogram the system using KNX and the Haus Logic dashboard. The goal is a reliable, integrated result that's easier to use and maintain long-term.

Question 4

How do you handle support and maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Every project includes a warranty period and structured handover with documentation. For ongoing support, we offer remote diagnostics and annual maintenance contracts. Because our systems run locally on dedicated hardware, most issues can be diagnosed and resolved without repeated site visits across the UAE.

Question 5

How do you approach security and privacy?

Accepted Answer

Critical systems including CCTV, access control, and automation logic run locally first, with no forced cloud dependency. Remote access is secured through VPNs or encrypted tunnels. We design networks with proper segmentation so guest WiFi and IoT devices are isolated from personal data and core building systems.

Question 6

How much does automation cost in the UAE?

Accepted Answer

Investment depends on property size, the number of integrated systems, and whether it's a new build, fit-out, or retrofit. Our KNX and Haus Logic dashboard approach is suited to clients seeking properly engineered automation across most of the property. After an initial consultation and site review, we provide a detailed design proposal with clear costing for the UAE market.

Question 7

What happens if Haus Logic is not available in the future?

Accepted Answer

We design specifically to avoid proprietary lock-in. Projects are fully documented, we use KNX-standard hardware recognised across Europe and the Middle East, and dashboard configurations are stored in formats any qualified integrator can understand. Your system remains yours, independent of any single company or app.

Question 8

How long does a typical project take?

Accepted Answer

For new builds and major renovations in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, we align with the construction programme: early design coordination, pre-wiring during fit-out, then commissioning near handover. For existing properties, upgrades can be phased over weeks, while comprehensive retrofits are planned alongside other renovation works to minimise disruption.

Question 9

Why choose wired automation over wireless?

Accepted Answer

Wired KNX systems offer reliability that wireless alternatives cannot match in the UAE environment. There's no interference from thick walls or neighbouring networks, no battery replacements, and no dependency on internet connectivity or cloud services. Wired infrastructure also has a proven lifespan measured in decades, making it the foundation of choice for luxury residences and commercial properties where long-term value matters.
