Mostly its really fucking expensive. Usual applications are central control of heating and window blinds in large office buildings.

Part of what drives the price is that ideally it's all hard wired.

I'm still confused as to what the product is, that just sounds like commercial Home Assistant. What is hardwired? Some knx device similar to a Shelly?

It's a buildings automation standard. The products that implement it are usually expensive

Thanks, that sounds like a correct answer.
