Twenty-two rooms.
Each thinks it's the only one.
A top-floor boutique hotel with 22 guest rooms on a single logical controller. Skyline built a per-room KNX application template plus a central front-desk dashboard so housekeeping, engineering, and reception see the same rooms through three different UIs and zero shared logins. Pre-assembled enclosures meant on-site work was a cable pull and a label, not an ETS session.
What we delivered.
Scope of works
- Per-room KNX application template — identical across 22 rooms
- 22 pre-assembled DIN enclosures with room-number address offsets
- Welcome scene — lights, AC, shades, music trigger on keycard
- Do-not-disturb — corridor indicator + housekeeping app sync
- Engineering NFC override at door, bypasses guest lockouts
- Central Life Smart front-desk dashboard (housekeeping, engineering, reception UIs)
- Extended DALI group for mood lighting in the suite

Why Skyline
Single point of contact across design, cabling, devices, network, commissioning, and lifetime support. No subcontractor coordination on the client side — one quote, one team, one warranty.
Three views of the install.
Three unlabelled circular buttons whose brightness tells you what's active. Guests touch, never read — complaints about 'confusing lighting' dropped to zero.
Flush-mount anthracite KNX keypads in corridors and back-of-house. Matches the hotel's design language while running the same engineering layer as the room panels.
DSPPA in-wall amplifier driving minibar + bathroom zones independently. Keycard insert triggers welcome bus; do-not-disturb mutes corridor.
The numbers.

Hillside Villa · KNX/DALI Whole-Home Build (640 m²)
A 640 m² hillside villa where the brief was quiet: two floors, seven lighting scenes, a single intercom tile by the front door, and 'nothing that beeps.' Skyline delivered a full KNX/DALI install with inline dimmers behind every existing backbox and an IP intercom bridged to the owner's phone — no new cloud accounts, no replaced faceplates.

Corporate HQ Executive Level · 9 Meeting Rooms with Privacy-Hardware Audit
The executive level of a regional HQ needed room booking, dynamic shading, four-zone audio, and a hard guarantee that no microphone is ever live when the 'privacy' indicator is dark. Skyline built the guarantee in hardware: every mic pre-amp passes through a KNX-switched relay, not a software flag. Shortest privacy audit the client's security team has ever signed off on.

Civic Waiting Hall · No-Rewire Wireless Retrofit (820 m²)
An 820 m² civic waiting hall the city already owned, already lit, already wired — and that Skyline was not allowed to rewire. The brief: fix the light levels, add zoned announcements, and give the duty officer a single panel that does the daily routine. We went wireless — Zigbee for sensors, Z-Wave for retrofit switches, a Tuya bridge for the panels the city had already bought.
