Section B — Critical for Architects
Technical Architecture
Protocols, system scope, and software — the foundation of every decision
B1 · Communication Protocols & System Type
System Type
[ Wired / Wireless / Hybrid ]
Wired (KNX/BUS) = more reliable, less interference. Wireless = easier retrofit. Hybrid = most flexible for mixed projects.
Primary Protocol
[ KNX / Zigbee / Z-Wave / WiFi / BLE / Modbus / Matter / Proprietary ]
KNX = industry gold standard (open, interoperable). Proprietary = vendor lock-in risk.
Secondary Protocol(s)
[ List all supported ]
Central Controller / Hub
[ Brand + Model ]
Offline Functionality
[ Works fully offline / Partial / Cloud-dependent only ]
⚠ CRITICAL: Cloud-only = fails if internet is down. Must be demoed, not just claimed.
Maximum Devices / Nodes
[ Per system / Per zone ]
Scalability
[ Can add rooms / devices without replacing controller: Yes / No ]
Backward Compatibility
[ New devices work with older controllers: Yes / No ]
B2 · Automation Scope — What Can They Automate?

App — Proprietary or Third Party
[ Own app / KNX app / Third party name ]
Voice Control
[ Alexa / Google Home / Siri / None ]
Scene / Automation (DIY)
[ DIY via app / Only by vendor / Both ]
DIY = user can change automation without calling vendor. Vendor-only = perpetual dependency.
Remote Access (Outside Home)
[ Yes / No — via Cloud / VPN ]
Offline Mode (Critical)
[ Full / Partial / None ]
IE verifies this by unplugging router during demo. Claim without demo = unverified.

⚠ Proprietary protocol + vendor closure = your ₹10–20L system is unusable. Verify protocol openness.
