How many times have we imagined arriving home and being able to sit on our sofa quietly while our house obeys our orders.

This is a reality thanks to the pack RealKNX + ProServ that will allow us to control with our voice the lighting, automation and integral control of the functions of our KNX installation. Using our mobile device with Siri®, Alexa® and Google ™ initiates a new era of augmented reality along with a configuration dashboard.

RealKNX Voice Control does not require any configuration. Just connect to the RealKNX mini server and you can get started. It will automatically connect to ProServ KNX and from there, you can load all KNX functions as well as zones. This will only take you 5 minutes. In the case of iPhone, it simply requires launching the RealKNX application, which will automatically classify all KNX functions in rooms based on installation or building structure. Siri® applications will listen to your orders and transmit them to your facility. In the case of Alexa / Echo, simply request your Alexa device 'discover devices'.

Thanks to the ProServ server we will extend the control with additional powerful features:

• Voice control via Siri® to KNX control devices
  
• Voice control with Alexa® and Amazon Echo
  
• Geo-fences and automation
  
• Modern dashboard with controls and presentation of graphical data in the browser
  
• Dashboard connection with remoteConnect from anywhere - no VPN no port forwarding
  
• Augmented reality
  
• Data register
  
• Programming
  
• Sonos Controller
  
• Email alarm
  
• VPN server

On the other hand, RealKNX is also offered (in its "augmented reality" version) as an augmented reality device that allows another unique feature: the user can control KNX devices using the camera of the smartphone. By pointing the camera at a real-world object, the camera controls appear on the screen of the smartphone or tablet device. The augmented reality functionality is configured through the RealKNX integrating the home designer.

RealKNX Dashboard organizes and presents KNX functions as well as data graphics in a graphical user interface. The dashboard does not require any configuration and is generated automatically. However, it is also highly customizable, you can present widgets like the Spotify player, web cam and calendars etc. The console is compatible with more modern operating systems and browsers. You can connect to RealKNX Dashboard from anywhere on the internet, without the use of VPN client software. To connect the user just introduce a previously personalized url and authenticate with username and password.

In addition, this product allows data recording with graphical presentation and programming. It is possible to control up to 5 Sonos zones. All of these features are fully configured through the proServ ETS product database. It's really Plug & Play.

Really all the dreamed features of the future that you can enjoy today.

From Futurasmus KNX Group we are glad to announce that Alberto Rico Feijoo, from AP CONTROL, has won the Master Server contest, organized by Futurasmus and Atomity at Matelec fair, Madrid.

Master server is a multipurpose webserver for KNX installations. Scenes, recipes, schedules and historical are only a few functionalities of Master Server. Furthermore you can integrate HUE Philips LED bulbs, as well as Sonos wireless audio system.

One of the most remarkable things of Master Server is the ease and speed to configure a visualization for any kind of user, both experienced or beginners. Another important feature of Master Server is to play voice messages inside a scene or time schedule, so we can play the message through the home speakers to advise that an alarm has been connected, incidences, or whatever the user decides.

Summarizing, Master Server is a very intuitive visualization, easily configurable, designed for users and installers.
