## What is iKNiX?

*** ATTENTION ***
*** THIS APP REQUIRES ADDITIONAL HARDWARE ***
*** AVAILABLE AT WWW.IKNIX.COM or WWW.KNXWARE.COM ***
 
iknix.com and IFIE GmbH are pleased to present iKNiX, the ultimate KNX/EIB iPhone App. Free your KNX/EIB installation and take comfort to the next level.
Easily control your lights (including light scenes), blinds, auxiliary functions (like status or HiFi components) and heating system (HVAC) with your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch and access status or your on-site weather data.
All you need is the free iKNiX App and our KNiX Port, an Ethernet to KNX/EIB gateway available at www.iknix.com.
Easy and fast set-up is a key feature of our iKNiX App. That’s why the entire configuration is done online at www.ikix.com where you can register for free and create a new project.
Rooms (we call them ‘zones’) that you want to control can be added to the project. Then you create one or many profiles which can be downloaded via email-notification to the iKNiX App. You can generate as many profiles as you like, for example ‘Owner’, ‘Kids’, ‘Guest’ or even for different houses! You can easily change settings and never have to fiddle with the iPhone to enter any data – just use your created project and profiles!
The new KNX-proServ controller can be configured via ETS product database.

New features: 
Our app supports now the new low-cost IP extensions together with KNX-proServ.
KNX2SONOS is a DIN rail mounted device, which allows the operation of the SONOS ® audio multiroomsystem via KNX commands. Thus, for example, a KNX wall mounted switch may start / stop the music zone, control the volume or select a radio station. Even the information of title / artist and album will be reported back to the bus. As usual with proServ the whole configuration is done using the ETS software. Everything comes 100% organic and fat free!
 
Features:
 
-         Fully bi-directional (2 way) KNX/EIB control with your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch
-         Control your lights, blinds, heating system (HVAC) with your fingertips
-         Web-based easy set-up and configuration
-         Easy project and profile management for unlimited customers with unlimited zones (available at www.iknix.com)

### 1/5 — App wird auf iPhone 7 iOS 11.2.5 nicht mehr richtig angezeigt

*2018-02-06, version 2.4.0*

Ist sehr ärgerlich, da die App auf meinem iPhone 7 nicht mehr richtig angezeigt wird und somit ein Bedienen nicht mehr möglich ist! Ansicht wird nicht gedreht! Mehrere hundert Euro in den Wind gesetzt!!!!!

### 2/5 — Orentiation requires fixing

*2017-11-01, version 2.4.0*

Hello iKnix team kindly update the app. There is an issue with the orientation of icons within the app as I have updated to iOS 11.

### 5/5 — The best performance

*2017-10-09, version 2.4.0*

It’s an amazing App.

### 5/5 — Ich habe nichts besseres gefunden..

*2014-07-07, version 2.4.0*

Seit ein paar Tagen besitze ich den KNX ProServ und diese App dazu.

Da ich schon einiges in der KNX-Scene gesehen und auch Projektiert habe kann ich hier mit ruhigem Gewissen schreiben: Es ist die beste Lösung die ich seit 10 Jahren gesehen habe.

Die App funktioniert Einwandfrei und macht genau das was im ProServ in der ETS-Software eingerichtet wurde. Und das auf Anhieb. Man benötigt keinen Server der irgend wo im Internet hängt, keine Software die irgend welche Tabellen oder sonstige Dateien erzeugt die auf irgend einem Telefon importiert werden müssen. 

Es klappt einfach aus dem Stand heraus.

Für Einbau und Verdrahtung inkl. dem Einbinden meine vorhandene KNX-Struktur mit ca. 85 Verknüpfungen habe ich ziemlich genau 3 Stunden benötigt. 

Der ProServ einmal in das heimische Netzwerk eingebunden „schiebt“ die KNX-Konfiguration in wenigen Sekunden auf jedes iPhone oder iPad auf dem man diese App installiert hat. IP-Adresse eingeben, Fertig. (Bis zu 10 Clients)

Keine zusätzlichen Lizenzen oder Kosten!

Hinzufügen möchte ich das ich auf zukünftige Erweiterungen dieser Lösung schon sehr gespannt bin. Das vorhandene ist eine Bereicherung für jeden der eine problemfreie und vor allem auch eine mobile KNX Visualisierung sucht.

### 3/5 — Tolle App

*2012-04-21, version 2.2.0*

Aber, seit dem letzten Update schalten die Rollos falsch. Runter ist jetzt aufwärts, Hoch ist jetzt abwärts. Schade... Mal schauen, ob es beim nächsten Update behoben ist. Ansonsten muss ich wohl nochmal programmieren 😔
Deswegen nur noch 3-4 Sterne.

### 5/5 — Prima

*2012-03-18, version 2.1.2*

Wird immer besser.

### 5/5 — Top

*2012-02-05, version 2.1.2*

Einfach ne Super Sache wenn man sowieso über die passende Technik verfügt! Einrichtung Super Easy und ne gute Benutzeroberfläche ! Ich bin hochzufrieden! Das neue Digitalthermometer lässt sich viel besser ablesen als das alte! Danke!

### 5/5 — Preiswert und Gut!

*2011-08-29, version 2.0.3*

Preiswert im Vergleich zu anderen Systemen.

### 5/5 — Sensation - Die Macht in meiner Hand!

*2011-07-16, version 2.0.1*

Sensationelle App - und dazu noch kostenlos!
Ruck zu auf dem iPhone und nun hast DU die Macht über alles Steuerbare in deiner Wohnung zu "bestimmen"!
Einfache und doch edle Optik mit klaren Funktionen - so soll´s sein!

### 5/5 — Der Wahnsinn !!

*2010-09-23, version 0*

Hätte nicht gedacht, das die einrichtung so einfach geht !! Danke !! Super App !!
