About Vimar
Vimar is a 1945-founded Italian manufacturer of electrical wiring devices and smart-home systems, exporting to around 110 countries. Its portfolio spans the By-me Plus bus system (open to the KNX protocol) for full home automation and the View Wireless range (Zigbee/Bluetooth) for retrofit control by swapping existing switches. In a smart home it sits at the wiring and control layer — switches, sockets, thermostats, shutter and lighting control — with Italian design finishes and KNX interoperability.
Best For: Homeowners and architects wanting Italian-design wiring devices with a path from simple wireless retrofit to full KNX-grade automation.

Vimar FAQ
Is Vimar available and supported in India?
Vimar exports to around 110 countries and has India distributors, so products can be sourced and installed here. Local stocking and after-sales depth are more limited than mainstream Indian brands, so it is best deployed by an experienced integrator who can manage imports and spares.
What's the difference between By-me Plus and View Wireless?
By-me Plus is a wired bus system (open to KNX) suited to new builds and full-villa automation, while View Wireless retrofits existing homes by swapping switches over Zigbee/Bluetooth. For a renovation without rewiring, View Wireless is usually the practical choice; for a ground-up project, By-me Plus/KNX gives deeper integration.
Roughly what does a Vimar smart home cost in India?
As an indicative figure, expect around ₹2.5–8 Lakh for a mid-size apartment on View Wireless and ₹10–30 Lakh+ for a large KNX-integrated villa. Final cost depends on home size, number of control points, panels and import margins, so get a measured quote.
Does Vimar work with KNX and other systems?
Yes — By-me Plus is open to the KNX protocol, and KNX-certified Vimar devices interoperate with other manufacturers' KNX gear for lighting, HVAC, security and energy. This makes Vimar a sound choice in the mixed-brand KNX projects common in premium villas.
