A brief introduction to KNX

The demand for comfort and versatility in the management of heating, lighting and access control systems for a family home as well as an office complex is growing. At the same time, the efficient use of energy is becoming increasingly important. People want a comfortable, sustainable and safe place to live and work. That's where automation jumps in.

However, more convenience and safety together with lower energy consumption can only be achieved by intelligent control and monitoring of all products involved. This is a true challenge as it implies more wiring, running from the sensors and actuators to the control and monitoring centers. For professionals, such a mass of wiring also means higher design and installation efforts, increased fire risk and soaring costs. This is the problem the KNX solves.

Want to seamlessly integrate and configure products from some of the biggest and best international manufacturers using a single software tool? We can help.

Realizing the automation dream 

Automation doesn't have to be difficult. It simply requires a system that does away with the problems of isolated devices by ensuring that all components communicate via one common language. The kind of device you want to use doesn't matter anymore.

KNX is home and building control made easy. By using a principle called interworking, technology can be controlled and monitored via a uniform system. KNX allows you to control lighting, shutters, security systems, energy management, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, signaling and monitoring, interfaces to service and building control systems, and more. KNX also offers remote and audio / video control.
