vasatec are specialists in the connection and commissioning of shading automation using KNX – a leading two-way communication bus in building automation.
KNX is a standard for home and building automation that allows different devices and systems to communicate with each other over a common network. It is an open protocol and is governed by the KNX Association, a group of more than 400 manufacturers that produce KNX-certified products.
The KNX system consists of a range of devices and components, including sensors, actuators, switches, controllers, and gateways. These devices communicate with each other using a standardized communication protocol, which allows them to exchange information and commands. Alongside Shading systems, KNX also supports a wide range of applications, including, lighting control, HVAC control, security systems, and energy management.
Interoperability
KNX devices from different manufacturers can communicate with each other, which means that the system is flexible and can be customized to meet the needs of specific applications.
KNX can be easily scaled up or down depending on the size of the installation, which means that it is suitable for both small and large buildings.
Flexibility
KNX supports a wide range of applications and can be used to control various systems and devices, including shading systems, lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and security systems.
Energy efficiency
KNX can be used to implement energy-saving strategies, such as the control of shading systems based on direct sunlight and a buildings solar coordinates, occupancy, time of day, and other factors.
The KNX system is an efficient choice for home and building automation due to its flexibility, interoperability, and scalability. It is widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications, and is supported by a large ecosystem of manufacturers and integrators.
