• What is KNX?

    KNX is a world standard communication protocol for smart home and building control. The system already has 30 years’ history with stable performance in KNX building automation fields. A system equipped with KNX technology can easily help you control your electrical households in one touch panel or even remotely. Hence the technology nowadays is widely used in almost all types of buildings: private homes, business complexes, industrial buildings, universities, hospitals, etc.

    As a smart building solution provider established in 1999, GVS started to promote the KNX protocol for smart buildings since 2007. In the past 13 years, GVS has played an important role in the standardizing process for the technology. GVS joined the working committee in converting the EN50090 standard to GB/T 20965-2013, drafted the KNX Building Automation and Control System Data Communication Protocol Standard (GB/T8847) and initiated and chaired the IEEE 1888.4 Green Smart Home and Living Environment Control Protocol Standard. As a pioneer of KNX intelligent building, GVS will continue to lead the way of KNX and create a better and smarter future for mankind.
