KNXWhat is the KNX Protocol?

KNX is a standardized (EN 50090, ISO/IEC 14543), OSI-based network communications protocol for intelligent buildings, both commercial and residential. The KNX standard is administered by the KNX Association. It is the successor to, and convergence of three previous standards, the European Home Systems Protocol (EHS), BatiBUS, and the European Installation Bus (EIB).

Over 100 KNX member companies worldwide offer almost 7,000 KNX certified product groups. KNX QuickServer certification is pending.
