Comtexis

What Comtexis does

Comtexis AG is a Swiss building automation and smart home specialist headquartered in Baden, Switzerland, founded in 2013. The company delivers end-to-end solutions based on the Loxone platform, integrating lighting, shading, heating, cooling, security, access control, multiroom audio, and energy management into a single coherent automation system. Core technology centers on the Loxone Miniserver (wired installations via Loxone Tree, supporting up to 80% less cabling) and Miniserver Go (wireless retrofits via Loxone Air), supplemented by PV, battery storage, dynamic wallbox load management, and dynamic electricity tariff optimization features. Comtexis holds the first Loxone Platinum Partner certification in Switzerland, the highest tier in Loxone's partner program.

The firm serves two primary customer segments: private homeowners (Eigenheim) undertaking new builds or renovations, and commercial/industrial clients (Gewerbe) including offices, hospitality, and small production facilities. It packages its offering in three tiers — Smart (from CHF 5,500), Premium (from CHF 9,500), and Exklusiv (from CHF 11,500) — with custom quotation above package pricing. Professional services are billed at CHF 194/hour for building automation specialists, with remote maintenance at CHF 65 per 15 minutes. Distribution is exclusively direct: consultation via the company website, project inquiries through contact forms, and live demonstrations at the Geroldswil showroom (which is also rented on Airbnb when idle).

The operating footprint is overwhelmingly domestic (Switzerland-wide), with one documented cross-border retrofit project in the Schaffhausen/Bodensee area of Germany. Operationally, Comtexis is a very small firm — only 2 employees (project managers/system engineers) are listed in its own AGB documentation, with no in-house electricians, administrative staff, or apprentices, implying field installation labor is sourced externally. With over 300 documented completed projects since inception, the firm is positioned as a boutique, high-touch specialist rather than a scaled platform business. Oliver Eglin serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors.

• Loxone: Loxone is the Austrian platform vendor whose technology Comtexis resells and integrates. Comparable as the underlying smart home/building automation platform; not a direct competitor to Comtexis's integration services, but defines the product landscape in which Comtexis operates.
• Gira (Giersiepen GmbH): Gira is a German premium smart home/building automation manufacturer with KNX-based systems and an integrator ecosystem. Comparable as a premium-positioned competitor serving the same DACH residential and commercial automation market, particularly the German/Swiss luxury segment.

Comparable as a competing premium smart home platform targeting the same high-end residential and commercial customers that Comtexis serves with Exklusiv-tier offerings.

• KNX Association (KNX-integrated system houses): KNX is the open standard for wired building automation with a large ecosystem of certified system integrators in Switzerland. Comparable as the dominant incumbent technology stack against which Loxone-based offerings like Comtexis compete, especially in new-build and commercial projects.
• ABB Smart Buildings: ABB's Smart Buildings division offers KNX-based and ABB-free@home building automation across Europe, with strong Swiss presence. Comparable as a large incumbent serving overlapping residential and commercial automation needs, including energy management, though as part of a much broader portfolio.
