Standard for Smart Homes Takes Center Stage with KNX
KNX, the standardized protocol for smart homes, offers a harmonious integration of various electronic systems and appliances within buildings, providing reliable connectivity and flexibility. Conceived in Belgium over 30 years ago, KNX has evolved from three other standards to become a global protocol used by leading brands such as Schneider Electric and Siemens. The technology enables control of multiple building functions, including lighting, heating, and security.
