Control with home speaker / voice assistants
In recent years, voice assistants integrated into home speakers have become firmly
established, not only for interaction with the web, but also as an easy and intuitive
control interface for a smart building.
Voice control offers the ability to control several room functions in the most natural and
immediate way. For many users, it can be even simpler than an app for smartphones,
since it does not require them to read selection menus or interpret graphic symbols: it
is sufficient to pronounce the action to be carried out. Even in hospitality facilities there
are environments and users who can benefit from this; voice commands can make
systems and technologies more accessible, whose use is seen as too demanding by
users who are unfamiliar with technology.
Control with Ekinex
The Ekinex home speaker interface allows the most popular voice assistants to interact
with the building automation system. Thanks to the device, it is possible to interface all
KNX devices from the Ekinex range and control a multitude of functions, such as the
control of lighting, heating and cooling or shading, using simple voice controls.

System architecture
Delégo is a complete system for the supervision and control of a KNX standard system.
Developed with web-oriented technologies, it features a uniform interface with high
graphical impact on each platform with local and remote connection. The system
consists of the EK-SRV-... server to be installed in an electrical cabinet which is directly
connected to the KNX bus; the connection to the router is made via the Ethernet port
on the local area network (LAN). Delégo offers multiple possibilities of use:
- via desktop PCs
- from mobile devices, smartphones and tablets (Apple iOS and Android);
- with one or more Delégo panel (available with 5” or 8” capacitive display).
The system is characterized by a simple and at the same time extremely complete
configuration, thanks to the direct import of the ETS project file. The functional definition
of the various imported objects and the correspondence with a rich and customizable
set of controls (widgets) for the user is also very easy. The interface is simple and
intuitive and allows the user to interact with the building automation system through the
use of different devices, with absolute uniformity of use. The app allows you to control
all functions with a simple touch, from a single device and from anywhere in the building
reached by the Wi-Fi network, or remotely via web connection.
