What were the challenges in fulfilling the wishes of the customer?

The customer main requirement was to have only one reliable system which shall control the lights, switching / dimming, via IR remote sender or wall mounted switch sensors with LED. The control of motorized curtains and fan-coil units with space for future requirements and needs was also a criterion.

Why was the decision for a KNX solution made?

Due to the flexibility of KNX system and more importantly the presence of local support team (ABB KNX team operating in the Central, Western and Eastern regions of Saudi Arabia) the customers are confident that KNX is the right system for this building. The KNX system can satisfactorily comply with the above wishes.
