If you've been researching home automation in India, you've probably run into three names that sound similar but aren't: the 1Home Server, 1Home CH, and 1Home KNX Pro. All three come from the same company, and all three are about to get a lot easier to use — 1Home is launching a new app that puts every one of them under a single login.
Here's what each actually is, what KNX Pro costs to bring into an Indian home, and why it matters that you're buying it through an authorized distributor.
What the 1Home Server Actually Does
At the center of a KNX-based smart home sits a server — the device that lets your lighting, shading, climate, and access control talk to each other and to your phone. The 1Home Server is that bridge. Without it, your KNX wiring runs the show locally, but you have no app, no remote access, and no way to bring in newer Matter-compatible gadgets alongside your wired KNX devices.
Put simply: KNX is the wired standard behind serious, long-term home automation — reliable, and not dependent on your WiFi staying up. The 1Home Server is what turns that wired backbone into something you can actually control from a phone.
1Home CH vs. KNX Pro — What's the Difference
1Home sells more than one server tier, and the naming trips people up.
- 1Home CH is the compact option — built for smaller installations or single-family homes where you want KNX and Matter devices on one app without a large-scale commercial setup.
- 1Home KNX Pro is the higher-capacity tier — built for larger homes, villas, and commercial buildings, with more zones, more devices, and the headroom architects and integrators need when specifying a whole-building system.
If you're building a new villa or a multi-floor home, KNX Pro is usually the one that gets specified. If you're retrofitting an apartment, CH is often enough.
KNX Pro Price in India
We'd rather be straightforward here than make something up: there's no single fixed KNX Pro price we can quote in a blog post, because the real cost depends on the number of devices, zones, and the complexity of the install — a 2BHK retrofit and a 6,000 sq ft villa aren't priced the same way, and shouldn't be.
What we can tell you is that KNX Pro pricing in India is quoted per project through an authorized distributor, not off a shelf price list — standard for KNX hardware generally, not something specific to 1Home. If you want an actual number, the fastest path is a project-based quote once we know your device count and site.
Why It Matters That You're Buying Through an Authorized Distributor
Morion Automation is the authorized 1Home CH distributor for India, alongside distributing KNX Pro and the rest of the 1Home lineup. We don't manufacture 1Home's hardware — we bring it into the country, support installers on the ground, and make sure the server you buy is genuine, warrantied, and set up correctly for Indian electrical and networking conditions.
That last part matters more than people expect. A KNX Pro server sourced through an unofficial channel has no local support if something needs configuring or replacing. Through Morion, that support exists in Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Chennai — European engineering, with the setup and after-sales support handled locally.
The New App Changes How You'll Use All of This
Right now, getting the most out of a 1Home Server, CH, or KNX Pro setup means working across your installer's configuration and 1Home's own control interface. The new 1Home app — coming later this year — puts all of it behind one login: lights, locks, shades, and thermostats, whichever server tier you're running, in one place.
We covered this in more detail in our launch content, but the short version: one app, every room, no switching between apps for different categories of device.
Morion Automation is India's authorized distributor for 1Home and other European KNX-based home automation brands. Get in touch for a KNX Pro price quote or to find an installer near you.
