KNX vs Matter: Which Smart Home System Is Right for Your Australian Build in 2026?
Short answer: choose KNX wired for new builds, renovations and multi-zone commercial projects (AU$15,000-60,000+) where 25-year reliability and sub-50ms response matter. Choose Matter over Thread for existing homes, flexible upgrades and multi-ecosystem control (AU$2,000-10,000). Many luxury Australian builds combine both. Honest comparison with real cost breakdowns.
