For Home Owners
KNX technology, the world-wide standard for home and building control is supported by over 300+ manufacturers.
Most automation systems are proprietary, locking you into a single vendor, limiting the level of integration. If your vendor was to cease manufacture of the system you bought, would you be left with a house full of unsupported technology?
While a proprietary vendor has a single solution, KNX vendors have hundreds.
KNX is an open fully scalable automation solution, allowing for a high level of integration resulting in energy cost savings, convenience and simplicity that enhance your quality of life.
By choosing KNX your investment is protected, it allows products of today to easily integrate with products and technology of tomorrow.

With KNX this is guaranteed as there are approved and trained companies all around the world offering support at all levels for projects small and large, from a small house to an international airport.

For Property Developers
Control systems are a vital part of the modern building or home. They are a highly cost-effective way of preserving energy and provide added value for the developer and an enhanced experience for the building users. They are also required by recent legislation, such as the building regulations Part L. Many of these requirements can now be met using the KNX standard.
Another key advantage for the developer is the peace of mind which is not often available with proprietary control solutions. Choose a proprietary protocol from a single manufacturer or integrator and you are beholden to that company and its technology. Being tied into this arrangement can be problematic during the life cycle of your development
Choose KNX and you will always have a wide choice of certified KNX integrators to provide these services. In a fast moving market place, this gives you the confidence that your system has a long term successful future to continue to deliver to your changing demands.
