Not a brand. A language.
KNX is not a brand. It is a language. The open standard for building automation not owned by any single manufacturer, not controlled by any single company. Created by the KNX Association, headquartered in Brussels.
500+ manufacturers worldwide produce KNX-certified products. When a device carries the KNX logo, it speaks the same language as every other KNX device on the planet regardless of who made it, when it was made, or where it was installed.
Decentralised by design. No single controller. No single point of failure. Intelligence lives in each device on the bus. If one fails, the rest keep working. This is the reason architects specify KNX in buildings they expect to stand for fifty years.
Reliability. Longevity. Manufacturer choice.
Used in residential, commercial, and industrial projects worldwide. KNX is the infrastructure choice for buildings with a thirty-year horizon because the protocol has already proven it can last that long. Elec Reid uses KNX for its reliability, its longevity, its manufacturer choice, and its proven performance in prestige architecture. When you build in KNX, you are not betting on a startup's cloud server. You are using a protocol that has been proven in buildings on five continents.
Ekinex. Basalte. ABB. Schneider. Siemens.
The KNX-compatible brands Elec Reid installs span the finest interfaces in the world. Ekinex for Italian-designed precision keypads. Basalte for Belgian-engineered touchscreens and switches. ABB, Schneider, and Siemens for robust infrastructure products used in commercial and industrial applications. KNX's manufacturer independence means we specify the right hardware for each project not whatever one vendor happens to make.
KNX programming requires ETS software and formal certification. We are certified. We have programmed KNX systems in Melbourne homes from single-room retrofits to whole-of-home new builds.
KNX is manufacturer-independent which means you can put any interface on the wall. We help you choose the right one. Ekinex, Basalte, ABB, Schneider specified to match your interior.
KNX is decentralised. When we leave site, your home works. No central controller to fail. No cloud to go down. No dependency on anyone including us.
