Why can you offer such a favorable package for a KNX installation and are the included KNX devices also reliable?

We have been in the project business for over 10 years and are constantly building large-scale projects with KNX. These are small projects in villas up to hotels and residence facilities with more than 200 apartments. Thus we have very good contacts with the manufacturers and very favorable purchasing conditions. We use these to offer KNX cheaply in Europe and Germany and to offer all KNX fans a favorable solution for KNX installation. Every year, we install all the equipment we offer in many projects and know that the devices are reliable. So you can buy the KNX equipment offered by us in a calm conscience and thus come to an extensive KNX installation in a favorable way.

For whom is the KNX start XL package or bundle suitable and I need to start up in my KNX House automation still additional software?

This KNX package start XL is specifically designed for customers who prefer a smart solution for their KNX house automation. The KNX package Start XL is an extended basic equipment for KNX and receives numerous components for a KNX house automation. To start up your home automation with the KNX bundle start XL You only need one ETS to program the included KNX devices and can then start immediately. Since more than 5 devices are included in this KNX bundle, you need at least one ETS light version to program the KNX package start XL. With the ETS demo version you cannot program this KNX package. To get an overview of the ETS you can still download the free version of ETS. For the INSPINIA panel you do not need any additional software for programming.

Is the free version of the ETS software legal and are there any other versions of the ETS?

The free version of the ETS is legally usable and is officially provided by the KNX organization. You can also purchase other versions of the ETS software. However, these are no longer free of charge. It is often possible to purchase the Lite version of ETS with which you can program up to 20 KNX devices via the ETS campus. For larger projects, the acquisition of ETS is recommended professionally. We do not distribute ETS software and do not offer the ETS software with the KNX bundle.

What can I control with the KNX starter package in my smart home and can I also extend the KNX bundle?

The KNX actuator included in the KNX package has 16 switchable outputs. With these outputs you can switch a total of 16 lamps/devices. The actuator included in the package is a KNX Universal aktuator, so you can also control blinds/shutters with the actuator. Please note that you need 2 outputs to control blinds/rolling shutters. With the included KNX actuator you can control a maximum of 8 blinds. With the Universalaktor included in the KNX package start XL, you can assign the outputs in pairs. For example, you can use channel 1 and 2 to switch lamps, Channel 3 + 4 for a blind, Channel 5 + 6 for another blind, Channel 7 + 8 for switching devices.... Additionally included in the KNX package start XL 4 KNX glass buttons with 4 buttons each. You can therefore place each output of the KNX actuator on one key. In addition, you can also control all outputs of the KNX actuator from the 10" touch panel. We supply the 10" KNX touch panel including KNX visualisation and KNX module. You can access the functions of the KNX wall panel with our free Smarthome app for iOS and Android from anywhere. The KNX package is optionally expandable by other KNX devices. You can extend it completely independently of the manufacturer. We offer you further KNX packages with different equipment. Please also take a look at the KNX packages "start", "Real estate/Villa" and "Premium XL". The KNX power supply with 320mA included in the KNX package start XL is sufficient for at least another 20 KNX devices. In addition, the KNX package start XL also includes a KNX Tasterschnittstelle with 4 led outputs. With this KNX binary input you can integrate conventional switches into your KNX house automation. The KNX binary input is at the same time a KNX binary input for the integration of up to 4 detectors (water detectors, smoke detectors, gas detectors, door contacts...) into your KNX house automation.

Can I also change the KNX package or omit/Add components in order to adapt it more to the needs of my KNX house automation?

The KNX package and the price are only valid for the KNX package offered here. We offer optional extensions for KNX packages which you can select. If you do not wish to do so, please contact the sales team directly and make an individual offer. Please understand that we cannot offer all combinations of our KNX devices as a package.

Also offer programming for the package and how much does the?

We offer all our KNX bundles including programming by professional system integrators. The programming includes the assignment of the inputs and outputs of the actuators to the buttons of the included buttons and the visualisation on the panel. The programming is not included and must be ordered separately. The programming of the KNX bundle can of course be adapted to your wishes. Should you require an individual programming by a professional system integrator, please contact our support by email.

Please note that we assemble the KNX bundle individually and carefully check all the devices before shipping. Accordingly, we need a slightly longer processing time. If you have chosen the package including programming, we need additional time for programming your package and the extensive tests before the package goes to you on the trip.
