KNX building automation

One system. Your entire home.

Lighting, climate, shading, security, energy and entertainment working together, on one shared installation.

Lighting

Every luminaire is an address on the bus, so any of them can be switched, dimmed or recalled as part of a scene.

Switching and dimming are native KNX functions. Larger lighting installations are usually combined with DALI through a gateway.

Scenes

One press, several trades. Watch the house rather than the buttons.

What is KNX

KNX is an open standard for building automation. Instead of a separate controller for every trade, the devices in the building share one bus and speak the same language, so a switch, a thermostat, a blind actuator and a dimmer are all addressable parts of the same installation.

There is no single brain that everything depends on. Intelligence is distributed across the devices, which is why a KNX installation keeps working when one part of it is replaced, and why it can be extended years after the building was finished.

One building, many trades

A house is not built by one discipline. Electrical, heating, ventilation, shading and security are designed and installed separately, and in most buildings they stay separate for the rest of their life.

KNX is what makes them one system. The blind actuator knows the room is empty because the presence sensor said so. The heating knows the window is open because the contact reported it. Coordination is the product, not the individual devices.

What one button actually does

The house above starts as a normal afternoon. Move a slider and one address changes. Press Leaving Home and seven of them change in sequence, across lighting, shading, heating, ventilation, leak monitoring, alarm and door locks.

The visualisation shows the four rooms with windows, the entrance, the technical room and the terrace. Lights brighten and dim in place, blind slats travel over the windows, and the room panels report measured temperature next to the target you asked for. Everything shown there is also available as a labelled control beside it.

Nothing here is a mockup of a single product. It is what any properly engineered KNX installation is expected to do.
