As KNX RF systems grow beyond a few switches and sensors, network load becomes the defining factor for long-term performance. Many KNX RF projects appear stable during commissioning but develop delays, missed commands, or inconsistent behaviour months later. In most cases, the root cause is not range, battery, or ETS logic — it is uncontrolled…
Introduction In small KNX projects, ETS structure often doesn’t matter much.In large projects, ETS structure becomes the project’s backbone. Poor ETS structuring leads to: Well-structured ETS projects, on the other hand, allow: This article explains how to structure ETS projects for large KNX installations, based on real experience from hotels, offices, campuses, and multi-building systems….
Introduction Few things worry a client more than hearing: “Some KNX devices are offline.” Even more frustrating is when devices: In most cases, the devices themselves are not faulty.They are reacting to electrical, communication, or design issues that were hidden during early stages. This article explains the real root causes behind KNX devices going offline,…
In KNX RF systems, gateways are not accessories. They are core infrastructure components that directly determine performance, reliability, and scalability. Many RF-related issues—delays, missed commands, battery drain, or intermittent failures—can be traced back to gateway capacity limits, poor zoning, or lack of redundancy. This article is a full technical deep dive for consultants and system…
Introduction As soon as KNX systems move from twisted pair to Ethernet, network equipment becomes part of the automation system. Among all network devices, the managed switch has the biggest impact on KNX IP stability. Many KNX IP problems are not caused by routers, ETS, or devices. They are caused by default switch settings that…
Introduction As KNX systems move onto Ethernet backbones, they no longer live in isolation. They share switches, routers, and cabling with IT networks, CCTV, Wi-Fi, AV, and servers. In such environments, VLAN design becomes critical. Many KNX IP problems are not caused by KNX devices or ETS configuration, but by poor or missing VLAN planning….
