What is KNX?

The Answer:

KNX is the Worldwide STANDARD for Home and Building Control

KNX is not a manufacturer. It is a standard for data control that allows control systems from different manufacturers to communicate seamlessly with each other.

Any system or appliance that is labelled “KNX compliant” means that it has gone through stringent testing to ensure it will work with all other KNX compliant devices. Beasons use KNX compliant systems in their installations and home improvements.

In order to transfer control data to all building management components, a system is required that does away with the problems of isolated devices by ensuring that all components communicate via one common language: in short, a system such as the manufacturer and application domains independent KNX Bus.

This standard is based upon more than 20 years of experience in the market, amongst others with predecessor systems to KNX: EIB, EHS and BatiBUS. Via the KNX medium to which all bus devices are connected (twisted pair, radio frequency, power line or IP/Ethernet), they are able to exchange information.

Bus devices can either be sensors or actuators needed for the control of building management equipment such as: lighting, blinds / shutters, security systems, energy management, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, signaling and monitoring systems, interfaces to service and building control systems, remote control, metering, audio / video control, white goods, etc. All these functions can be controlled, monitored and signaled via a uniform system without the need for extra control centers. as it is a global standard, it means it is future proof, so the appliances and control systems being installed today can be added to effortlessly, whenever the consumer wishes.

KNX is the only global standard for home and building control with

  • A single, manufacturer independent design and commissioning tool (ETS).
  • A complete set of supported communication media (TP, PL, RF and IP).
  • A complete set of supported configuration modes (system and easy mode).
KNX-compliant products are available for control of:
  • Lighting
  • Heating
  • Ventilation
  • HVAC
  • Intruder alarms
  • Audio visual systems
  • Household appliances
  • Energy Management
  • Access Control
  • Blinds and Shutters
  • Monitoring Systems
  • Metering of energy or water
  • White goods
  • Remote Control
  • And more…

A benefit in every type of building: From the office complex to the average household. Whatever the kind of building is, KNX opens up complete new opportunities for building control systems while keeping the costs at a manageable level.

KNX Association

The Association is the owner of the Worldwide STANDARD for Home and Building Control: KNX and also the owner of the KNX trademark logo worldwide.

KNX Association is a non profit-oriented organisation governed by Belgian Law.

Members are manufacturers developing devices for several applications for home and building control based on KNX like lighting control, shutter control, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, energy management, metering, monitoring, alarm/intrusion systems, household appliances, audio/video and lots more. As well as manufacturers , service providers (utilities, telecom, electrical engineers…) can become a member of the KNX Association.

Beasons Ltd. is proud to be a partner company of KNX Association, providing the benefits of KNX in Scotland and the UK. You can read more about KNX on their website
