We are moving to a new house, and I want to build a foundation in something more reliable as homeassistant and zigbee. I looked at KNX and it is ridiculously expensive (170 euros for a pir sensor is a joke). So as an alternative I’m looking at loxone, which seems to be a cheaper alternative to KNX. Do you have experience with it? How good is it? What kind of things are worth automating with loxone? They have a lot of solutions, but I’m not sure if they are all worth it. I am already sold about the lights, but what about multi room audio? Light, motion, temperature sensors?

Any experience/testimonials are welcome

    Yes.Some/a lot depending on how much you sell. And of course for an installer a walled garden is much much more convenient instead of a open standard. And it’s much cheaper for them as they don’t need an ETS licence, don’t need an overview of hundreds of components and the certificates are cheaper/free as well - unlike KNX.
