Want a Smart home/building that has it all?
KNX IoT devices and solutions evolve smart
homes and buildings to the next level.

Why KNX IoT?

  • Interoperable & secure: KNX has been the reference when talking about interoperability. Just grab any two certified devices from any vendor, and they will simply work together at the application level in a secure way. Following this philosophy, KNX IoT has been designed to maintain the highest level of security. KNX IoT devices come with security embedded by design. With this robust new KNX IoT technology, manufacturers and developers can build the best devices, solutions, and services that will be installed by professionals of the industry of smart homes and buildings.
  • Native KNX IoT Devices (IPv6): KNX devices now use a new approach to fit into the IPv6 architecture. The new generation of KNX IoT devices will be able to connect to IP networks (wired and/or wirelessly) to have communication with other KNX IoT devices as well as with KNX classic devices that use Twister Pair or Radio Frequency.
  • Standardized API: For Those devices that need to be integrated into a KNX network, it is now possible thanks to a standardized API that can connect with KNX installations. This API is simple, secure, abstracted from the KNX-specific knowledge and future proof.
  • One Tool: ETS: All of these capabilities are made possible through the use of ETS. With ETS, KNX devices from over 500 manufacturers can be configured independently of their physical layer, and project information can be exported to any KNX IoT API Server using a vendor independent tool. ETS provides core interoperability in an attractive tool with a modern user interface.
  • KNX, the largest ecosystem in home and building automation: With this new possibility to communicate using the KNX Technology, it brings more flexibility. Manufacturers can now use new development possibilities to create innovative products and solutions; as well as professionals have more possibilities to create a bigger KNX ecosystem in their projects.
