KNX launches special ETS license for home owners

The international KNX Association has launched a new version of the ETS programming software. This ETS Home Edition is a customized license type for end users who want to realize a KNX project in their own home or home office. With ETS Home Edition you can configure 1 project with a maximum of 64 bus participants. This makes this an excellent solution for residential projects that cannot work with ETS Lite (maximum 20 components) and for which ETS Pro (unlimited number of projects and components) is too expensive.

With this special edition, KNX now also allows the end user or a technically savvy homeowner to configure his or her project themselves. Of course, the user can also collaborate with a KNX professional. With ETS Home Edition, KNX Association provides an answer to the growing interest in KNX projects in the residential sector.

In charge of your own project data With ETS Home Edition, the owner has his or her own software license and is also the owner of the project and his or her project data. The software also makes it possible to configure KNX secure bus participants, so that hackers do not have a chance. The KNX Association believes that ETS Home Edition has created a new segment within the portfolio of KNX tools. The new software tool costs €350, excluding VAT and can only be purchased via the online shop at www.knx.org.

Available software tools The available range of programming software now looks as follows: • ETS Lite – the perfect match for students, beginners, newcomers who want to train themselves and plan to become a future KNX professional. • ETS Home Edition – the software tool for homeowners who want to create KNX projects for their home or office themselves (or collaborate with a KNX professional) • ETS Professional (and supplementary) – the proven software tool for years for professionals who work on KNX projects every day and want to create and commission all their projects of unlimited size with just one tool.
