A New Era: Remote KNX Programming 🚀
Smart buildings have become an indispensable part of our lives. From lighting and HVAC to security and energy management, countless systems operate in an integrated way through the KNX standard. However, the most critical aspect of these technologies lies in their installation and programming.
Until now, KNX programming was mainly carried out on-site, directly at the devices. This meant that even the smallest change or update required technicians to travel physically to the project location, resulting in both time and cost inefficiencies.
That era has now come to an end. Thanks to a new feature developed for CoreOS Touch Panels, KNX systems can now be securely programmed with your ETS software from anywhere. What’s more, this is possible without the need for a static IP, VPN setup, or additional hardware.
🌟 Key Features
- No Additional Hardware Required
Core’s Remote KNX Programming allows direct access through your existing Surface or Eclipse 2.0 Touch Panels. No extra investment is needed—you can leverage the devices you already own.
- No Static IP or Port Forwarding
Traditional remote access methods required complex network setups: static IP assignments, router port forwarding, or firewall adjustments. These not only consumed time but also introduced risks. Core’s solution eliminates all of these challenges.
- No VPN Requirement
Many remote access solutions mandate VPN setups, which add cost and complexity. Remote KNX Programming removes this barrier, ensuring a user-friendly access experience.
- Centralized Management via Dealer Portal
All remote accesses can be managed through a single dealer account, giving you centralized control and the ability to organize multiple projects from one place. This is especially valuable for firms managing multiple projects simultaneously.
- End-to-End Encryption
Security is critical in smart building systems. All data traffic is protected with end-to-end encryption, ensuring that unauthorized access is impossible and your data remains secure.
- Customer Approval and Time-Limited Access
Transparency is built in. Each connection request must be approved by the customer, and access is time-limited. Users always know who has access and when.
- Compatibility with Older Models
You don’t need to replace your existing devices to benefit from the innovation. Remote KNX Programming is compatible with earlier Surface and Eclipse models, helping preserve the value of your current investments.
🎯 Benefits
- Fewer Site Visits
No more traveling for every minor change. Updates, function modifications, and troubleshooting can now be done remotely. This reduces workload and increases technical team efficiency.
- Lower Service Costs
Time, labor, and travel are significant cost drivers in KNX projects. Remote access dramatically cuts these expenses, making the service model more profitable for firms and more cost-effective for clients.
- Enhanced Security Standards
With end-to-end encryption and customer approval mechanisms, all access is fully secure—giving clients peace of mind when entrusting their systems to Core solutions.
- Faster Support
In urgent cases, on-site intervention used to take hours. Now, issues can be diagnosed and resolved remotely in minutes, significantly boosting customer satisfaction.
- Improved Customer Satisfaction
Fast and uninterrupted service is one of the most important customer expectations. Remote KNX Programming enables immediate responses to client needs, fostering long-term loyalty.
- Simplified Management
Thanks to the Dealer Portal, all accesses are controlled from a single platform, making life easier for companies handling multiple projects.
🆕 New Functionalities
- Bus Monitor
Analyze KNX line communications and detect potential errors remotely, speeding up troubleshooting.
- Group Monitor
Track group address communications in detail to diagnose issues more effectively.
- ETS Database Upload
Securely upload project database updates remotely, ensuring projects stay current and sustainable.
🚀 Why Remote KNX Programming?
Remote KNX Programming is more than just a technical feature—it represents a transformation in business models:
– Fewer site visits = More efficient technical teams
– Lower costs = More profitable projects
– Faster support = Happier customers
– More secure connections = Greater trust
In short, Core makes KNX programming easier, faster, and more secure than ever before.
