KNX Virtual is a Windows-based application simulating a KNX installation. It is a free software that you can get with your MyKNX account through the "Shop".

It doesn’t require any investment in hardware (such as power supply, USB or IP interface, KNX devices) as you will work with virtual devices, commissioned by ETS Professional and/or ETS Inside.

The updated KNX Virtual represents more than 10 different types of KNX devices, all connected to one TP line. These KNX devices operate upon a number of 'building loads' like lamps, dimmable lamps, blinds, heating & cooling valves.

KNX Virtual also make it possible to experiment (rehearsal) with more advanced building features like weather modules, alarms, scenes and even logic operations.

Recently smart building installations – including ones based on KNX - are increasingly the subject of cyber attacks. These cyber attacks can be easily avoided in case of KNX by ensuring that installations are never directly (without vpn) accessible via the internet. For this KNX already warned years ago in the KNX secure checklist.

The SAUTER ecos504/505 room controllers already had a KNX/TP1 interface. They have now been supplemented with an IoT driver. The ecos-IoT is a programmable BACnet server which allows direct integration of KNX devices. It also has optional IoT functions (MQTT client / broker). KNX devices in the TP1 network of the plant can publish data to the cloud via the ecos-IoT. At the same time, MQTT data from the cloud can be subscribed to and integrated into building and room automation. The KNX/TP1 interface and the IP interface for BACnet and MQTT thus enable cloud integration of data coming from touch panels, mobile apps, KNX actuators, and sensors as well as speech recognition services.

Ever heard of Tunable White? The right indoor lighting helps to create a healthy environment, by imitating the natural daylight and changing the colour temperature according to the daytime – for improving well-being and productivity. This can be achieved with two devices of Siemens GAMMA, which support the Tunable White function: the KNX/DALI Gateways N 141 and the KNX switch/dim actuator DALI N 525D11. They control the light’s colour temperature by using dimming as well as scenes, schedules, and effects. The products are easy to install and integrate, and on top, these devices ensure the highest efficiencies and cost-effectiveness for building owners and end customers.

As a member of STEINEL's True Presence® sensor family, the Multisensor Aerosol KNX is the first to provide the risk of infection as a KNX Group Object. To this end, the ceiling sensor measures room temperature, humidity and the CO2 content of the room air and displays the risk value, for example on a dashboard. The ceiling sensor is integrated into a building management system via the KNX interface and creates the basis for a healthy indoor climate – in classrooms or offices, for example. It also helps to reduce the potential risk of infection from influenza or Covid-19 viruses.

Good indoor air quality has never been more important than it is today. Measuring the CO2 concentration can make a positive contribution to our health by ensuring our rooms are correctly ventilated. This is exactly where thePrema P360 KNX Multi comes in: The presence detector detects not only human presence but also CO2 concentration, humidity, ambient temperature and air pressure. The multi-sensor reduces the installation effort, since instead of a CO2 sensor and a presence detector, only one device has to be installed. It is also available as a retrofit kit for thePrema S360 KNX.
