The worldwide Standard for Home and Building Control KNX provides variable control of multimedia technology throughout the entire home and building. KNX manufacturers are developing solutions for so-called multi-room systems which are becoming increasingly simple and convenient – for both the user as well as the installer.
The show ISE, Integrated Systems Europe, is Europe´s no.1 show for professional AV and electronic systems integrations. At the fair, 13 KNX members are showing solutions for visualization on portable devices (smartphones, tables and PCs), remote communication as well as audio and video applications in home automation at the KNX joint-booth, which are becoming increasingly simple and convenient for green home and building automation. Moreover, in the residential and commercial theatres, as well as the KNX booth, presentations about several topics are given several times a day. Visit us at the booth 12 / C92.
BAB-Technologie GmbH, Germany
The APP MODULE is equipped with a KNX/TP interface and is based on the proven, modular app concept: choose, install, get going. It does not have functionalities ready out of the box, but can be individually customized with apps. For example SONOS devices, Philips hue devices or BOSE components can be integrated into KNX installations in an instant. Here it does not matter if the components are controlled by push-buttons or existing visualizations. Various apps are available via www.bab- appmarket.de and can be combined in an APP MODULE as desired.
