CEDIA EMEA managing director Matt Nimmons says: “KNX applications comprise all aspects of smart home automation, including lighting and AV control, security, energy management, and HVAC. As integrators look for more ways to connect and scale technology in the home, a broader grasp of solutions within the KNX ecosystem can be a game-changer for business and for clients.”
KNX Association is the event’s headline partner. The organisation works to develop and promote the KNX standard so that it is recognised as the basis for creating smart home and building solutions that can be globally used and are secure and connected.
KNX Association marketing manager Casto Canavate adds: “KNX is a great opportunity for integrators to broaden their portfolio and offer a wide range of integrated solutions that complement their existing work. We’re very much looking forward to welcoming you all on March 17.”
