03 — KNX

Building automation on an open standard.

The open, worldwide standard for building automation since 1990: thousands of certified devices from hundreds of manufacturers, with no vendor lock-in.

What it controls

Light, shade, climate and energy, working as one.

  • Lighting and scenes

    Switching, dimming and colour, grouped into scenes for the way each room is used.

  • Blinds and shading

    Driven by time, sun position, wind and temperature, or simply by a button.

  • Heating, cooling, ventilation

    Room-by-room climate with schedules, presence and window contacts.

  • Energy monitoring

    Metering and load control, so you can see and shift where the energy goes.

  • Presence and climate sensors

    Rooms that react to people, light levels, CO₂ and humidity.

  • Visualisation and touch panels

    Wall panels and apps that show the whole building in one place.

Why KNX

An open standard, not a product.

Best planned early

KNX runs over its own bus cable, laid together with the electrical installation. The best moment to plan it is the design stage of a new build or a major renovation, together with the architect and the electrician.

  • Open and certified

    KNX is an international standard (ISO/IEC 14543-3, EN 50090). Certified devices work together whoever made them.

  • No vendor lock-in

    Switches, sensors and actuators come from hundreds of manufacturers, and any of them can be replaced later.

  • Built into the building

    The logic lives in the devices on the bus, not in an app or a cloud service, so it keeps working for decades.

UniFi + KNX

Better together. Fine apart.

UniFi runs the network, cameras and doors. KNX runs lights, blinds and climate. Connected, they react to each other: locally, with no cloud in between.

  1. 01

    Arrive

    A door opens with UniFi Access. KNX lights the entrance and sets the room to comfort mode. Protect keeps the clip locally.

  2. 02

    Leave

    Last person out: KNX drops to eco mode, blinds close, Protect switches to away recording.

  3. 03

    Alarm

    Smoke or intrusion: all lights on, blinds up, doors locked or released by policy, cameras record at full quality.
