Theben LUXORliving – KNX Smart Home Automation, Lighting Control & Connected Home Ecosystem Overview

Created by Lamont Gibson, Modified on Tue, 30 Jun at 9:11 PM by Lamont Gibson

Purpose

This overview serves as the SmartHomeConcierge.ai master reference for the Theben LUXORliving ecosystem. It provides a comprehensive summary of products, platform features, mobile app capabilities, KNX home automation, lighting control, climate management, shading automation, energy management, security integration, firmware management, connected devices, and common configuration categories used by SmartHomeConcierge.ai technicians when assisting customers and creating device-specific configuration articles.

Theben LUXORliving® is Theben's KNX-based smart home platform designed for residential and light commercial buildings. Unlike traditional KNX systems that require full ETS programming, LUXORliving simplifies installation and commissioning using LUXORplug software while maintaining compatibility with the international KNX standard. The system controls lighting, dimming, heating, blinds, shutters, scenes, weather sensors, and smart home automation through wired KNX devices, wireless extensions, mobile apps, and voice assistants. It also supports KNX Data Secure for encrypted communication and integrates with platforms such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Bosch Home Connect Plus, and IFTTT.
