### 5/5 — Impressive App

*2012-11-10*

I (and the family) have been using Xxter for over a year now to control our KNX "Smart Home". The application is easy to set up using the custom Xxter configuration cloud based utilities as well as being intuitive to use.

If you are a KNX professional, then you will like the remote support and management capabilities of this solution.

Harm (the CTO) is very responsive to any support and integration questions and is very pro-active in developing new features as customers request.

I can certainly recommend the application. like the man from Remington who was so impressed he bought the company, I have been so impressed I now provide an integration service for potential customers of Xxter/KNX smart home technology.

Best regards,

Justin.
