Joining / Fees

The first step for a developer to join the ETS App world is to become a member of KNX Association International. Any company or individual person involved in the development of software can become an ETS App developer. Anyone who wants to provide to the KNX community his software development experience or his ideas about extending ETS functionality in order ETS to work more efficient, is welcome.

Upload & Validate your ETS App

Once your ETS App has been finalized, upload it and ask for validation in order for the App to become available in the KNX Online Shop. Only validated ETS Apps can be installed and used in the ETS. That prevents from unauthorized use of your ETS Apps.
