Thanks to the KNX technology, LUXORliving is open to flexible extensions of the smart home system. Other technologies and services can also be seamlessly integrated.

to anything
Voice control via Amazon Alexa
Since 2020, it has been possible to control LUXORliving with the Amazon Alexa voice assistant. This makes the lighting and blinds incredibly easy to adjust at home via voice control. All you need to get going is an account in the Theben Cloud and to have an IP1 registered there.

Voice control via Google Assistant
LUXORliving can also be controlled via Google Assistant and the Google Home app. You will need the latest version of the free LUXORplay app along with access to the Theben Cloud for the IP1 system control centre. You can now also say:
“OK Google, switch off the ceiling light“ “OK Google, Dim the ceiling light to 50%“ “OK Google, Raise the blinds to 80%“ “OK Google, Set living room heating to 22 degrees“
“OK Google, switch off the ceiling light“ “OK Google, Dim the ceiling light to 50%“ “OK Google, Raise the blinds to 80%“ “OK Google, Set living room heating to 22 degrees“

Voice control with Google Assistant
Voice control via Aragon
Aragon is the offline voice assistant that works without an internet connection and provides optimum privacy protection. Aragon allows you to control and query devices and functions such as lights, televisions, shutters, heating, values, scenes, date and time. A wake-up signal can also be configured. On request, the hospitality mode can be activated with “DND” or “MUR” functions, or the Internet search for restaurants or POIs.
SensFloor assistance system for AAL
Automatic fall detection and alarms as well as preventive warning messages improve the safety and independence of residents. SensFloor also provides discreet support in everyday life through smart home functionalities. In care homes, staff benefit from an improved overview. The assistance system records the situation in each room and bundles it into a compact overview for care staff. This makes it easier to plan work and leaves more time for individual care.
Over 700 services with IFTTT
Through integration into the IFTTT (If-this-then-that) service, LUXORliving opens up a wide range of combinations with other smart products and online services. With IFTTT, users can set rules by combining triggers (if) and resulting actions (then). This means that LUXORliving can interact with over 700 different services and can also be combined, for example, with household appliances, audio/video, locking systems, irrigation systems, notification services and much more.
Smoke detector integration with EI Electronics
House fires or undetected carbon monoxide leaks (in the example from our partner www.eielectronics.de) can be fatal. For this reason, integrating smoke and carbon monoxide detectors into the LUXORliving KNX smart home system is highly recommended.
Thanks to the underlying mesh radio networking, residents are quickly and reliably warned of smoke and carbon monoxide and can get to safety in time. For example, 
the blinds or roller shutters can be opened automatically in the event of a warning message, which facilitates rescue. It is also possible for the lighting to be switched on in certain areas to illuminate escape routes.

Note: The KNX Smart Home System LUXORliving does not serve as a life-saving system. The application examples shown here are only intended to demonstrate the interaction of different solutions and do not release from legal requirements.
Installation
In this application example, wireless alarm units are integrated via a coupler module and push button interfaces. The Ei414 coupler module has separate floating relay outputs for detecting fires and detecting CO. Another floating relay output transmits detector faults and informs you if detectors have been removed from the base without authorisation. The relay outputs can be connected to the binary inputs (LUXORliving B6, T2, T4 or T8) of the LUXORliving system.
In this application example, a LUXORliving T4 push button interface is used to forward the CO and fire warning. You have the option of integrating a fault message into the LUXORliving system via another input or activating the acoustics at all alarms (e.g. in the event of a panic alarm) via a switch contact.
Programming in LUXORplug and LUXORplay
The inputs of the LUXORliving T4 push button interface can be assigned to any function in the LUXORplug software. In this application example, the fire warning and the CO warning are used as triggers for individual scenes. As a result, new scene triggers are added, for the utility room, for example.
In the LUXORplay app, the new “CO warning” and “fire warning” scenes can then be created and the corresponding scene trigger can be selected.
