Celebrating 35 Years of Innovation, Community & Global Impact

My hope for KNX in the next 35 years is that it becomes the global standard for smart buildings. Widely adopted in North America, Asia, and beyond. Integrated with APIs, AI, and renewable energy systems. Taught in every technical school.

I joined the KNX Community back in 2014! My most memorable KNX moment was my first KNX commercial project installation in a retail shop. Although the system was only lighting control (more than 2,500 lighting fixtures with DALI), I was confident I could start my business as a system integrator with this project and thought I could change the home and building automation market in my country.

To me, KNX means a big community with a lot of friends.

One of my most memorable KNX experiences was attending the Plugfest KNX Secure 2025 in Switzerland, hosted by Siemens. The event brought together a wide range of manufacturers including Hager, ABB, Feller, Siemens, and others who demonstrated and tested their products in the context of KNX Secure, KNX IoT, and related technologies. It was a great opportunity to witness the true strength of KNX: its standardized communication protocol that enables seamless interoperability across brands. Additionally, the exchange with other manufacturers was highly educational and inspiring.
