While many people know that a smartwatch does a great job tracking health and fitness, it can do a lot more. In fact, your watch is a great option for controlling your entire smart home.

Without pressing a ton of buttons, you can voice control your home with your smart watch via Alexa, Siri or Google Assistant. And just like that, status querying and control of your home just got even more practical as the watch puts your smart home devices on your wrist anywhere you are.





Now that you see that your smartwatch can also turn into a great control center for your home, you are ready to connect it to your Loxone, Gira or any other KNX smart home. This way you can control the lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, appliances and security locks right from your wrist.

Another nice plus of using the assistant mobile app on the watch is notifications. Get notified when a door is left unlocked after 11 pm or when the lights are left turned on. You will have complete control of your home on your wrist by receiving real-time home status data.



Please note: At the moment, smartwatches can’t run apps without help from a phone as the watch mirrors what’s already on your phone. That means that you can’t add devices create and edit scenes or customise automations, but that’s not a big downside as the watch truly shines with its quick and simple interactions.

For instance, you can view a live feed of HomeKit-supported cameras and even communicate with those that are near your camera by speaking through your watch’s microphone.
