DOMIQ x KNX
New possibilities.
The same installation.
Combine the reliability of KNX with the capabilities of DOMIQ. Integrate devices from different manufacturers, create advanced automation, visualizations, and operating scenarios, and manage the entire installation from a single system.
What is KNX?
KNX (formerly known as konnex) is one of the world’s most popular building automation standards. It is used to control lighting, heating, air conditioning, window shades, ventilation, security systems, and many other systems in residential and commercial buildings.
Unlike many solutions based solely on wireless communication, KNX typically uses a dedicated wired bus, which ensures high reliability, stable operation, and the ability to implement advanced automation functions.
The KNX standard has been in development for over 30 years and is supported by hundreds of manufacturers worldwide. As a result, the investor is not tied to a single equipment supplier and can freely expand the system in the future.
KNX is just the beginning...
Who is KNX for?
KNX is often chosen by people building new homes, developers working on more advanced automation projects, and owners of commercial buildings who expect reliability and the ability to expand the system over the long term.
Due to its wired architecture, it works best in new construction projects or during major renovations, when it is possible to install the necessary cabling.
DOMIQ x KNX – combining reliable automation with open integration
KNX is ideal as the foundation for building automation. DOMIQ expands its capabilities with integration, visualization, logic, and energy management features.
Thanks to the DOMIQ KNX module, devices operating under the KNX standard can communicate not only with each other but also with systems using other technologies, creating a single, cohesive building automation environment.
This is particularly important in modern buildings, where, in addition to KNX, devices using Modbus, BACnet, and MQTT, as well as audio-video systems, photovoltaic systems, energy storage systems, and smart energy meters, are often found.
How does a KNX system benefit from DOMIQ?
One platform for multiple technologies
DOMIQ allows you to integrate KNX with other systems used in the building. This makes it possible to create automation solutions that span a wide range of technologies without having to use multiple independent applications.
Advanced Automation Logic
DOMIQ’s extensive logic functions allow you to create scenarios that go beyond the capabilities of individual systems. Automations can take into account data from multiple sources, schedules, weather conditions, energy consumption, and the status of other devices in the building.
Custom visualizations and app
KNX devices can be controlled via the DOMIQ visualization interface and app. Users benefit from a single, unified control environment that covers the entire building, regardless of the technologies used.
Energy management
The integration of KNX with the energy management features available in DOMIQ allows you to create smart scenarios that optimize energy consumption and work in conjunction with energy meters, photovoltaic systems, and energy storage systems.
A system ready for growth
KNX can serve as the foundation for building automation, while DOMIQ acts as the central integration platform. This allows the system to be expanded with additional devices, protocols, and functions without the need to overhaul the existing infrastructure.
KNX Programming Without an Additional KNX/IP Interface
DOMIQ Base 2.0 can function as a KNX tunneling server. This makes it possible to program KNX devices without the need for an additional router or KNX/IP interface.
This means:
- simpler system architecture,
- fewer devices in the switchgear,
- lower implementation costs,
- more convenient setup and maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does DOMIQ replace the KNX system?
No. DOMIQ does not replace KNX, but rather expands its capabilities. KNX handles communication and control of devices in the system, while DOMIQ adds features for integration, logic, visualization, energy management, and interoperability with other technologies.
Is a DOMIQ KNX module required for KNX integration?
Yes. The DOMIQ KNX module enables direct communication between the KNX system and DOMIQ Base 2.0.
Can I integrate KNX with other automation systems?
Yes. One of DOMIQ’s greatest advantages is its ability to integrate multiple technologies into a single system. This allows a KNX installation to work with solutions based on Modbus, BACnet, MQTT, LCN, and many other devices and services.
Can DOMIQ Base 2.0 replace a KNX/IP interface?
In many cases, yes. DOMIQ Base 2.0 can function as a KNX tunneling server, which allows you to program KNX devices without needing an additional router or KNX/IP interface.
Do I still need ETS to configure KNX?
Yes. KNX devices are programmed and configured using ETS software. DOMIQ integrates with the existing KNX installation and allows you to utilize its functions in logic, visualizations, and automation.
What KNX devices can I integrate with DOMIQ?
DOMIQ can work with many types of KNX devices, such as lighting controllers, roller shades, blinds, heating systems, air conditioning systems, motion sensors, presence sensors, weather stations, energy meters, and other devices that communicate via the KNX standard.
Can I control KNX devices from the DOMIQ app?
Yes. KNX functions and devices can be displayed in visualizations and in the DOMIQ app. This allows users to control the entire building from a single, unified interface.
Does the integration of KNX with DOMIQ allow for automation?
Yes. DOMIQ allows you to create advanced automation scenarios that use data from KNX and other systems in the building. Automation scenarios can take into account schedules, weather conditions, energy consumption, user presence, and information from other devices.
Is KNX a wired solution?
Yes. KNX is primarily a wired standard that uses a dedicated communication bus. This ensures high operational stability and reliability, even in large installations. With DOMIQ, you can combine this solution with wireless solutions.
Will KNX work in an existing building?
Yes. DOMIQ allows you to create advanced automation scenarios that use data from KNX and other systems in the building. Automation scenarios can take into account schedules, weather conditions, energy consumption, user presence, and information from other devices.
Is KNX integration with DOMIQ only suitable for homes?
This is possible; however, KNX is most often installed during new construction or major renovations due to the need to install bus wiring. In existing buildings, the scope of work depends on the feasibility of routing the cables.
Can I combine KNX and LCN into a single system?
Yes. With DOMIQ, it is possible to integrate KNX and LCN systems into a single building automation environment. This allows for the implementation of shared scenarios, visualizations, and logic that encompass devices operating on both technologies.
Does the integration of KNX with DOMIQ allow for automation?
No. KNX and DOMIQ are used in single-family homes as well as in offices, hotels, public buildings, and advanced BMS systems.
