KNX is a worldwide standard.
KNX is the single recognized open worldwide standard for home and building electronic systems, successfully operating in hundreds of thousands of prestigious buildings across nearly 190 countries.
Why KNX
KNX is the worldwide standard for home and building control.
KNX is the worldwide standard for home and building control.
KNX offers at the same time the reliability of a consolidated system, market leader for over twenty years, and the dynamic nature of a rapidly developing system, thanks to the contribution of manufacturers from different fields and to the constant widening of the supply in terms of products, functions and solutions.
10 Reasons to Choose the KNX Standard
KNX is a system fully compliant with national, European and international standards.
Fully certified according to ISO/IEC 14543-3 (International), EN 50090 and EN 13321-1 (European), ANSI/ASHRAE 135 (US) and GB/T 20965 (China) official automation standards.
KNX is available with thousands of devices produced by over 500 manufacturers.
With thousands of certified devices from over 500 manufacturers worldwide, clients and system designers enjoy complete freedom of choice without proprietary vendor lock-in.
KNX is open and interoperable.
All certified KNX devices communicate using the identical protocol regardless of brand. Ekinex wall controls, external actuators and HVAC interfaces integrate into one cohesive ecosystem.
KNX is a key factor in order to achieve higher energy efficiency in buildings.
By coordinating lighting, HVAC and shading systems, KNX enables buildings to achieve Class A energy efficiency under the EN 15232 standard, cutting operational energy consumption by up to 50%.
KNX is a SELV system that reduces the electromagnetic fields in buildings.
Operates with 29V DC SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) to wall controllers rather than 230V mains voltage, eliminating electric shock hazards and substantially decreasing indoor electromagnetic radiation.
KNX is a consolidated system based on an established technology constantly under development.
Proven on the global market for over three decades, KNX ensures 100% backward compatibility while consistently pioneering innovations such as KNX Secure data encryption and KNX IoT cloud connectivity.
KNX is suitable for both new construction and renovations.
Adapts flexibly to new architectural projects using twisted-pair KNX TP cabling, as well as heritage renovations and retrofits via wireless KNX RF and high-speed IP network infrastructures.
KNX is a safe investment, thanks to the opening and interoperability of the standard.
Guarantees long-term availability of spare parts, functional extensions and technology upgrades decades later, shielding building owners from the obsolescence of closed proprietary systems.
KNX is a system designed, installed and commissioned by tens of thousands of skilled professionals.
Supported by more than 140,000 certified KNX Partners and 500+ accredited training centers worldwide, ensuring professional engineering design, installation and commissioning everywhere.
