What is KNX?

KNX is the world’s only open global standard for control in both commercial and residential buildings. KNX works by ensuring all components, devices, features and functions of any building or outdoor space can communicate via one common language - instantly, and remotely.  See how does KNX work?

KNX is fully-approved as an International Standard (ISO/IEC 14543-3) as well as a European Standard (CENELEC EN 50090 and EN ISO 22510) and Chinese Standard (GB/T 20965). KNX is, therefore, future-proof.  All KNX products can be used in combination – the KNX trademark logo guarantees their interworking and interoperability, regardless of the manufacturer. KNX has many benefits.

The KNX standard is maintained and further developed by the KNX Alliance. This is a community consisting of 500 manufacturers, 8000 certified products, and 95,000 trained and licensed KNX system integrators. It operates 500 training centres in 190 countries.

Thinka works with all these products and their manufacturers, such as

MDT GIRA JUNG

KNX does not provide integration with Home automation standards such as Apple HomeKit, Google Home or Amazon Alexa. This is where you need a Thinka. How does Thinka do that?
