What myGEKKO does

myGEKKO, legally Ekon GmbH, is a privately-held building automation company founded in 1999 and headquartered in Bruneck (Brunico), South Tyrol, Italy, with a German sales and distribution subsidiary (EKON Vertriebs GmbH) based in Munich. The company develops a proprietary operating system (myGEKKO OS) that unifies control of heating, ventilation, shading, security, and energy management devices across residential, commercial, hospitality, and healthcare buildings. Its product portfolio spans a family of hardware controllers (NOVA, PICO, PIU, SLIDE2, BASE, BASE X6, BASE R22, and NODE variants) acting as on-site automation hubs, plus the KNX Extension and myGEKKO LoRa modules that enable migration from existing KNX installations and wireless IoT device connectivity. The platform integrates with KNX, Vaillant heating systems, DoorBird access control, Amazon Alexa, and IFTTT, with backend services supported by Twilio (voice/SMS), Google Firebase and Apple APNs (push), and Pipedrive EU (CRM), and is GDPR-compliant with relevant ISO/SOC certifications inherited from service providers.

The company's revenue model is a hybrid of hardware sales of controllers through an exclusive network of trained specialist partners (electricians, planners, and installers), recurring subscription fees for the Plus Services suite (Door Intercom, Mail, SMS, Caller, Push Notification, Weather, Live Web/Viewer, Query API, Update and Diagnostics, Webradio, Time Sync, Support), and professional-services revenue from partner training programs. Distribution is entirely indirect; products are not sold directly to end consumers, and customers access myGEKKO by locating a certified specialist company via the company website or request portal. The flagship commercial relationship is with Deutsche Fertighaus Holding (DFH), whose OKAL, massa haus, and allkauf brands equip every one of their 3,000+ annual prefab homes with myGEKKO as standard. The company targets the DACH region as its primary market, with general-manager Johann Moser serving as Geschäftsführer and Data Protection Officer.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Loxone: Austrian-headquartered direct competitor offering a complete proprietary building automation ecosystem (Loxone OS plus hardware miniservers and Tree/Air extensions) for smart homes, hotels, and commercial projects — the closest direct analogue to myGEKKO's product-and-OS model in DACH.
• Eltako: German building automation specialist with a strong focus on wireless (EnOcean) and KNX-compatible actuators, controllers, and sensors — competes with myGEKKO for installer-led retrofit and smart home deployments in Germany.
• Hager: European KNX manufacturer (Hager/Elka/Hager-Tebis) supplying controllers, sensors, and system integration for residential and commercial buildings — directly comparable KNX-anchored BAS peer with similar DACH distribution channels.
• Gira: German manufacturer of KNX-based building automation systems including the Gira HomeServer and X1 platform for residential and commercial control of HVAC, shading, lighting, and security — directly comparable in KNX-driven BAS and channel specialist distribution.

Broad incumbents

• Schneider Electric: Global broad-line industrial and building automation incumbent offering Wiser/SpaceLogic KNX controllers, EcoStruxure Building platform, and full enterprise BMS — overlaps with myGEKKO in commercial building control and energy management but at vastly larger scale.
• ABB: ABB-free@home and ABB i-bus KNX building automation lines, complemented by global BMS products (e.g., Ability) — competes in both the smart-home and commercial BAS segments with deeper distribution than myGEKKO.
• Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Operates the Desigo CC/BMS and RoomMind building automation portfolios (including KNX integration) — addresses hospitals, hotels, offices, and large commercial estates; a much broader incumbent competing for enterprise project wins against myGEKKO.
• Honeywell Building Technologies: Global BMS and energy management vendor with the Niagara Framework and ComfortPoint/Excel controllers — competes for the same commercial building and hotel automation RFPs that myGEKKO targets.

Emerging players

• tado°: Munich-based smart home energy management company offering smart thermostats, AC control, and Heat Pump optimization — competes with the myGEKKO HEMS layer and is increasingly adjacent to smart HVAC control in European homes.
• Shelly: Bulgarian smart home automation vendor with cloud-connected relays, sensors, and a controller (Shelly BLU) — competing in retrofit and residential automation, partially overlapping with myGEKKO's smart home and energy management use cases.
