What is KNX ?
KNX, originating as EIB (European Installation Bus) in the early 1990s and subsequently merging with EHS and BatiBUS, has evolved into a global standard for building automation and home control systems. Operating as an open protocol, it enables communication among various devices and systems within buildings, including lighting, heating, ventilation, security, audiovisual equipment, and much more.
