Futurasmus Germany – we celebrate 5 years of high quality and excellent customer support
„Stamina and determination are two characteristics which ensure success in any enterprise.“ Leo Nikolajewitsch Graf Tolstoi (1828 - 1910).
With this famous line and an additional remark of passion for what we do, we can look back at 5 fruitful years. This week Futurasmus Germany celebrates its 5th anniversary since its foundation.
5 years are indeed a good cause to celebrate but also to look back and consider these past years and at the same time to look forward with total optimism and great willingness.
In 2009 our German subsidiary was founded and since then we have been reporting all the new KNX products and developments. Since 2010 we are active members of the prestigious KNX-Professionals Deutschland e.V. We have already organized multiple product courses, ETS seminars and the last ETS5 Workshop organized in Spain and Germany for the rest of the associates.
Our market presence can be counted in the participation of fairs, product courses imparted at wholesaler offices and a lot of daily online information. And of course, by being available for our clients, offering our valuable know-how as well as our commercial and technical support every day.
Looking ahead into the future - ¡The KNX market grows at a rapid speed!
Nowadays, the final user receives large amounts of information by the media concerning “Smart Housing” so we can say that they are well informed and aware. Domotics or Smart home is now a very familiar term as well as connected homes. Thanks to the constant development and upgrading of systems and components (for example RF), it will be easier to take these solutions to every user. Also the extended use of smart phones and tablets ensures the mobile application of home control.
Our motivation for the next 5 years is to build the future together and work today as if it was tomorrow.

Iddero: Scenes editable by final user
Iddero keeps on optimizing its touch panels and now we are once more amazed by their newest and very attractive update , which will be available as from today.
The main feature of their latest release is the new scenes module. Up to now, their touch panels offered a classic KNX scene module where the scenes were kind of a “picture” of the status of actuators. From now on, we can still use this pattern, but we will also be able to select a new element in which scenes might be edited by the end user, who will be able to add delays between different actions .
On top of that, this new release includes bugfixes, standard improvements and the following updates:
- The modification of the “Shutter” element, which now supports abolute positioning.
- It supports the Catalanish language in the firmware.
- Enhancements in the web interface, especially for Android smartphones.
In order to see the complete list of improvements, you can download this document.
Both the firmware and the new editor versión are aready available on our web site :
- HC1 Product page
- HC2 Product page
- HC2L Product page

KIF Conclusions and Energy Efficiency star projects
We had the highest expectations regarding the KNX International Forum which took place last April in Madrid (Futurasmus KNX Group actively participated with our own booth). But, what should have been an international referent for the KNX standard market worldwide was unfortunately a mere regional congregation of Spanish KNX integrators. The lack of international visitors and exhibitors was a bit disappointing and some organizational deficiencies made the rest.
Anyway, there were also interesting conferences, like the applauded intervention from manufacturer Intesis, who talked about HVAC and saving methods.
But what we found especially interesting was the contribution of two private companies who shared their experiences in the field of Energy Efficiency and which we have extracted here:
Project: Hotel Condes de Barcelona
David Blanco Pérez from the company IJT S.L. presented at the KIF a very interesting project. They integrated the different systems (illumination, technical alarms, hot water supply, HVAC, pumps, tanks…) of the hotel Condes de Barcelona situated in the Paseo de Gracia in Barcelona. IJT achieved the main objective of the KNX integration which was to reduce the energy costs of the Hotel, even though the Hotel was expanded with another 56 suites, by up to 28% (corroborated by real invoices over the years 2007, 2008 and 2009). The energy savings was mainly achieved by the efficient control of the HVAC system by applying different modes and set-point temperatures depending on the usage of the rooms and outside temperatures.
Project: Heathrow T5
Maria La Chica from the English company ATL (Andromeda Telematics Limited) presented at the KIF the impressive 2006 KNX Award Project of the new Airport terminal, Heathrow T5. This is the Largest KNX Project and also the largest DALI lighting Project ever realized in the UK. The whole extension of the project included 2 major terminal buildings, the new flight control tower, major rail & road infrastructure, the energy centre, car parks, 120.000m sq of taxiway designed for A380 Super Jumbo.
The KNX Infrastructure includes 236 IP worlds, 910 KNX lines, 7.000 KNX devices, 64.000 DALI luminaries, lighting control, daylight dimming control, emergency lighting testing & monitoring, lamp failures, lamp hours energy calculation, control & monitoring of central batteries, LV monitoring, main plant monitoring, disabled WC alarms, lift & escalator monitoring / alarms, etc.
The most remarkable part of the presentation was the Final Conclusions: With a total CO2 emissions saving of 6,821 tons per year, a total cost saving of £1,362,498 saving per year, which leads to a final payback period of only 2.8 years for the whole project.
Please, contact us if you would like to receive more information about these remarkable projects.
As for the KNX International Forum, we wish them the best of lucks for the following editions.
