About KNX National Group
KNX Australia (KNX National Group Ltd) was formed by a group of manufacturers, integrators, associations and training establishments along with other interested parties to promote the KNX standard within the Australian market.

Governed by an elected board, KNX Australia is a collective of active KNX advocates whose experience reflects KNX activities within Australia. This website is one of the key focuses of the organisation and its activities, outlining the basics of the KNX standard and providing visibility to its members via the members’ directory.

All members of KNX Australia have agreed to abide by a Code of Conduct and act in the best interests of promoting the KNX Standard. There are currently two levels of membership – Full Membership and Associate Membership.

In November 2017, KNX Standard – IS0/IEC 14543-3 (Parts 1-6) was adopted as an Australian Technical Standard by Standards Australia. This formal recognition and endorsement provide confidence to both KNX Association members and the clients they serve, about the quality of standard KNX can bring to their next project.

KNX Australia is part of a network of national associations who are all members of the international KNX Association, based in Brussels.

The KNX Association has a vast worldwide membership from major manufacturers, integrators, training schools, academic institutions and other interested parties. Around the world there are over 420 KNX Manufacturer members, over 77,000 KNX Partners and 446 KNX Training Centres in 68 Countries.
