Smartest Home is one of the pioneers of sophisticated smart home construction in Germany. Founder Frank Völkel built smart homes himself early on, shared his expertise with his specialist books, practical training courses and online video courses and inspired the German electrical industry.

We really enjoy our work – as the picture above shows as a snapshot. Here in the press section you will find publications and interviews on the subject of “Smart Home” or “KNX Smart Home” as well as articles on networked living in general and in the future. Reference projects for exceptional private homes whose building systems technology/electrical engineering was completely designed and planned by us can be found in the “References“.

Anyone interested in our eventful history is welcome to take a look at the “Story” section.
