Smart Home Technology Trends for 2026-2027

AI enters the smart home

The biggest change in smart homes during 2026-2027 is AI being integrated into the system. Traditional systems like KNX are combining with AI-powered decision engines. Example: AI learns the homeowner's daily routine and adjusts climate and lighting through KNX accordingly. The user stops managing; the home handles itself.

The Matter protocol and KNX

Matter is a new smart home standard developed jointly by Apple, Google, and Amazon. KNX can work through a Matter-compatible gateway. This allows KNX systems to communicate with Matter-certified devices. In practice: you keep your KNX infrastructure while adding a new Matter-certified smart plug to the system. KNX's future depends on its ability to integrate with open standards.

Gateways

KNX IP Router

As Turkey's leading KNX manufacturer, we are proud to present the first and only locally produced KNX / IP router device, breaking new ground. ITR902-0001 - KNX / IP Router It is a KNXnet/IP routing and tunneling device that connects the KNX line and the Ethernet network.

Energy management and solar integration

With rising energy costs in 2026, smart homes are becoming centers that manage the balance between energy production and consumption. KNX monitors solar panel production, the home battery, electric vehicle charging, and home consumption on a single screen. AI automatically runs the pool pump, washing machine, and dishwasher during the hours of highest solar production.

Antalya trends

Smart home trends in Antalya are moving in two directions: low-cost hybrid solutions for existing villas and full KNX automation in new construction. Foreign property owners prioritize remote access and security. Energy management is seeing demand across all segments due to rising electricity prices.
