No More Compatibility Worries: KNX Smart Panels Link All Your Devices

Unifying Your Smart Home Through a Single, Seamless Interface by Portworld

As smart homes and buildings become more advanced, users often find themselves caught in a tangle of disconnected systems—lighting from one brand, HVAC from another, security from yet another. Each may come with its own app, remote, or protocol. The result? Frustration, inefficiency, and a disjointed user experience.

Portworld’s KNX-compatible smart panels are the answer.

By leveraging the KNX protocol, a globally recognized standard for home and building automation, Portworld smart panels eliminate compatibility concerns and offer a centralized, elegant, and future-ready interface to control everything—from lighting and climate to blinds, door locks, and more.

How Portworld Solves the Compatibility Challenge

KNX as the Universal Language

KNX serves as a common communication platform for over 8,000 certified devices across hundreds of manufacturers. With Portworld panels, all your KNX-connected systems—regardless of brand—are brought together into one unified control interface.

Multi-Protocol Support

In addition to KNX, Portworld panels support integration with RS485, Ethernet, Modbus, and third-party gateways, allowing hybrid systems that include legacy or non-KNX devices to be managed from a single screen.

Customizable Android/Linux OS

Running on Android 11 or Linux (Ubuntu/Debian/Buildroot), Portworld panels support third-party KNX visualization apps or custom interfaces tailored for mixed-device environments.
