What KNX Partner Status Means
KNX Partner is an official designation from KNX Association — it isn't a reseller badge, it's proof of trained, standards-based competency.
KNX Association — The Global Standard
KNX Association is the non-profit organisation in Brussels, Belgium, that owns, maintains, and certifies the KNX standard. KNX Partner status confirms LTS Security Australia meets their requirements for trained, qualified system design and installation support.
Trained
Completed KNX Association coursework covering the standard, ETS software, and system design principles.
Registered
Listed on the official KNX Partner directory under Partner No. 147466, verifiable through KNX Association.
Accountable
Held to KNX Association's standards for system design quality, ongoing training, and product compliance.
What is KNX?
The world's only open standard for home and building control — and the backbone of every system LTS designs for whole-house automation.
One Standard, Every Manufacturer
KNX is a manufacturer-independent communication standard. A switch from one KNX-certified brand will work with a dimmer, sensor, or control panel from a completely different KNX-certified brand — all speaking the same protocol on the same wired bus.
Internationally Recognised
Published as ISO/IEC 14543-3, CENELEC EN 50090, and CEN EN 13321-1. KNX is the only home and building control technology with this level of formal international standardisation.
One Bus, Every Sub-System
Lighting, blinds, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, security, energy metering and audio can all be controlled, monitored, and automated from a single wired KNX bus cable.
Configured with ETS
ETS (Engineering Tool Software) is the standard tool used by every certified KNX installer worldwide to configure devices, regardless of which manufacturer made them.
A Brief History of KNX
Three European bus standards — BatiBUS, EHS, and EIB — begin converging toward a unified approach.
KNX Association is founded in Brussels, merging the three standards into the single KNX standard.
KNX becomes a formal international standard under ISO/IEC 14543-3.
Member manufacturers worldwide now produce KNX-certified devices across every building sub-system.
LTS Security Australia joins the network as an officially certified KNX Partner — No. 147466.
KNX vs. Proprietary Smart Home Systems
Why an open standard matters more than it might first appear.
| Feature | Proprietary System | KNX |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer Independence | Locked to one brand | 500+ certified manufacturers |
| International Standard | No | ISO/IEC 14543-3, EN 50090 |
| Long-Term Support | Tied to one company's lifespan | Standard outlives any single vendor |
| Configuration Tooling | Proprietary, brand-specific | ETS — universal across all KNX devices |
| Mixing Brands in One Project | Not possible | Fully interoperable on one bus |
| Installer Pool | Limited to brand-trained techs | Global network of certified KNX partners |
How akubela Works with KNX
akubela — Akuvox's smart home brand, distributed by LTS — builds its whole-home control system directly on top of the KNX standard.

Why This Certification Matters for You
KNX Partner status isn't a marketing badge — it changes what LTS can responsibly design, install, and support.
Standards-Based Design
Every KNX system LTS specifies follows the international standard, not an in-house interpretation of it — meaning it can be serviced, audited, or expanded by any other certified KNX partner in the future.
Not Locked to One Brand
Because KNX is manufacturer-independent, LTS can integrate akubela hardware alongside other KNX-certified equipment already in a building, rather than forcing a full rip-and-replace.
Verified Competency
KNX Partner No. 147466 is listed on KNX Association's own partner register — an independently verifiable credential, not a self-issued claim.
Built for the Next Decade
KNX installations are known for multi-decade reliability. Specifying through a certified partner means the system is documented and built to a standard that will still be supportable in 20 years.
