Easy KNX is an application that allows you to manage quickly and easily an entire KNX installation. No extra hardware required only a KNX gateway. To be able to use this application, it is necessary to have a configured and working KNX installation, which must have an interface with the IP network (KNX/IP Gateway). The first time you open the application, it will be blank, that is, it will not have any floor, room or control created. You will need to create these elements according to the complexity of your KNX network. As you create each of the controls you can test them immediately.
