KNX Lighting Control – Northern Ireland
KNX Smart Lighting for Self Builds
Scenes, dimming and sensor-based lighting on a wired system that doesn’t depend on wifi. We design, install and programme it.
WHAT KNX LIGHTING DOES
The right light for every moment, from one touch.
Scenes
One touch for "Dinner", "Movie" or "Goodnight" setting every light in the room.
Dimming
Smooth control of compatible fittings, room by room (CONFIRM tunable white if offered).
Sensors
Presence and daylight sensing where it suits the room.
One system
The same controls can also do heating, blinds and security.
Plan it before the plaster.
Lighting circuits, switch positions and the KNX cabinet need to be planned before first fix. Send us your drawings and we’ll show you what it involves.
01 - PLANS
Decide what you want
Agree which rooms need scenes, dimming or sensors and where the switches go, working from your drawings.02 - FIRST FIX
Cable it
Lighting circuits, KNX bus cable and the cabinet position go in before plaster so nothing is chased out later.03 - SECOND FIX
Fit and programme
Switches, sensors and actuators are fitted, then the system is programmed and tested.04 - HANDOVER
Learn the controls
We walk you through the scenes and controls so the house works the way you planned.WHAT TO SEND US
Your floor plans and elevations, how you plan to use each room, and any lighting or fittings you already have in mind. CONFIRM WHAT YOU NEED TO SEE –

KNX + DALI
Control every fitting individually, without rewiring.
A DALI gateway lets KNX control DALI drivers and fittings, so groups and scenes are set in software rather than fixed by the cable.
Flexible zones
Agree which rooms need scenes, dimming or sensors and where the switches go, working from your drawings.
Fine dimming and tunable white
Lighting circuits, KNX bus cable and the cabinet position go in before plaster so nothing is chased out later.
Feedback and faults
Switches, sensors and actuators are fitted, then the system is programmed and tested.
- Best for: open-plan spaces, kitchens, living rooms and anywhere you may want to change lighting zones later.
KNX-DMX
Colour and effects, from the same keypads.
A KNX/DMX gateway lets your keypads, scenes and schedules drive RGB and RGBW LED lighting, so decorative lighting is part of the same system, not a separate remote.
Colour on demand
RGB, RGBW and tunable fittings for coves, kitchens, gardens and feature walls.
Scenes that include colour
Recall one scene that sets white lights, colour and levels together.
One control system
The same buttons, app and schedules as the rest of the house, with no stray remotes.
- Best for: cove and feature lighting, cinema rooms and gardens. DMX is one-way, so we use DALI or standard dimming for essential lighting.
- PLAN IT BEFORE THE PLASTER.
KNX + MODBUS
Bring plant and energy equipment into the same system.
A Modbus gateway lets KNX read from and control equipment such as heat pumps, MVHR units, solar inverters and energy meters, so it is monitored and automated alongside the lighting.
One view
See status, temperatures and energy use on the same screens and app.
Smarter automation
Act on the data, for example by running loads when solar generation is high.
Alerts
Faults and out-of-range readings reach you without a separate app for each unit.
- Best for: homes with heat pumps, MVHR, solar PV or battery storage. Not every product offers Modbus, so we check each unit's documentation before specifying.
KNX CLIMATE CONTROL
Steadier underfloor heating with PWM.
KNX room controllers work out how much heat each room needs and switch the underfloor valves on and off in proportion. This is pulse-width modulation (PWM), and it avoids the swings of a simple on/off thermostat.
Room-by-room zones
Each room has its own controller, schedule and setback temperature.
Stable temperatures
Proportional control reduces overshoot and undershoot, so rooms stay more even.
Joined-up savings
Window contacts and presence sensing can lower the setpoint when a room isn't in use.
- Best for: underfloor heating on manifolds with thermal actuators in each room
