Home Automation
Integration KNX automation in Whole Home Audio System is very important. Only few Multi-room Streaming Amplifier support KNX, but all HOLOWHAS series MRSA from OpenAudio support KNX.
What is KNX Automation
KNX is an open standard (see EN 50090, ISO/IEC 14543) for commercial and residential building automation. KNX devices can manage lighting, blinds and shutters, HVAC, security systems, energy management, audio video, domestic appliances, displays, remote control, etc. KNX evolved from three earlier standards; the European Home Systems Protocol (EHS), BatiBUS, and the European Installation Bus (EIB or Instabus).
It can use twisted pair (in a tree, line or star topology), powerline, RF, or IP links. On this network, the devices form distributed applications and tight interaction is possible. This is implemented via interworking models with standardized datapoint types and objects, modelling logical device channels.
