About KNX Technology
Understanding the world's leading building automation standard and why it's perfect for Malaysian properties
What is KNX Technology?
KNX (formerly EIB - European Installation Bus) is the world's leading standard for building automation, recognized by ISO/IEC 14543. It's a unified, manufacturer-independent system that integrates all aspects of building control into one intelligent network.
Unlike proprietary smart home systems, KNX is an open standard that ensures compatibility across 500+ manufacturers worldwide, giving you complete freedom in equipment selection and future expansion.
Perfect for Malaysia's tropical climate, KNX systems are designed to handle high humidity, temperature variations, and provide energy-efficient solutions for our unique environmental challenges.
