Light that follows
the hour, not the switch.
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.
What we delivered.

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.
10" in-wall touch panel with bronze bezel — KNX push-button with integrated display, kitchen central.
KNX PSU on DIN rail — backbone of the entire 64+48-device line. Local control, no cloud dependency.
PoE doorstation with keypad + NFC. SIP-bridged to the owner's phone — answer the front door from anywhere.
The numbers.

Boutique Hotel · 22-Room KNX Hospitality Stack
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.

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.
