No Cloud Dependency
Works offline indefinitely. Your switches always work, even without internet.
Decentralized Intelligence
Each device has its own brain. One failure never brings down the system.
30+ Year Lifespan
KNX devices from 1990 still work with 2024 devices. True future-proofing.
How Professional Automation Works
Unlike consumer WiFi gadgets with a single hub, professional KNX automation uses a three-layer architecture where intelligence is distributed across the entire system, delivering unmatched reliability and flexibility.
Backend
The Hidden Intelligence
Professional-grade devices hidden in electrical panels and walls form the backbone of your automation system. KNX is fully decentralised: each device has its own intelligence, so a single failure never brings down the whole system.

Stabilized 30VDC bus power

Your Daily Control Points
The physical devices you interact with every day. Elegant switches, keypads, and sensors that collect real-world data and give you intuitive control. No apps required for basic operation.
Smart Switches
Multi-function wall controls
Keypads
Scene & room control
Sensors
Temperature, motion, light
Touch Panels
In-wall room controllers
Visualisation
Remote Access & Dashboards
Optional but powerful: control your property from anywhere via apps, tablets, or voice. Unlike WiFi systems, this layer is optional; your automation works perfectly without it.

The key difference: WiFi systems rely on a central hub. If it fails, everything stops. KNX is fully decentralised: each device operates independently, so one failure never brings down the system. Your switches still work, your climate still runs, your blinds still respond. The app is a convenience, not a dependency.
Control It Your Way
