Introduction In a KNX-based smart home or building, the KNX automation controller acts as the central intelligence—managing communication between devices, orchestrating scenes, and ensuring efficient operation. These controllers are essential in transforming individual components (lighting, HVAC, security, etc.) into a unified, responsive, and energy-efficient automation ecosystem. Unlike simple KNX actuators or sensors that perform isolated…
Introduction KNX and Modbus are two of the most widely used protocols in building automation and industrial control systems. While KNX excels in smart building applications (lighting, HVAC, security), Modbus is a staple in industrial automation (PLC communication, sensor networks). Integrating these two protocols allows for seamless data exchange between building management systems (BMS) and…
Introduction Modern home automation isn’t just about lighting and security. Today, even ceiling fans are getting smarter. Integrating ceiling fans with the KNX system allows homeowners to optimize comfort, save energy, and fully automate their cooling systems. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore how KNX ceiling fan control works, what you need for wiring and…
A KNX Bus Coupler is an essential component in a KNX building automation system. It serves as a bridge between the KNX bus (the communication backbone of the system) and various other communication networks or devices. The bus coupler is a critical part of integrating KNX devices with other networks such as IP, wireless (KNX…
The KNX cable plays a critical role in the bus system, which is widely used in building automation for controlling lighting, heating, ventilation, security, and other smart functions. As the foundation for communication between devices in a installation, understanding the types of KNX cables, their characteristics, and proper installation techniques is essential for ensuring optimal…
In the world of smart home automation and building management systems, KNX technology is at the forefront, providing reliable and efficient solutions. One key component in a KNX-based automation system is the KNX motion sensor. These sensors are essential for energy-efficient lighting control, security systems, and ensuring comfort in residential and commercial buildings. In this…
