    Mostly its really fucking expensive. Usual applications are central control of heating and window blinds in large office buildings.

    Part of what drives the price is that ideally it’s all hard wired.

      I’m still confused as to what the product is, that just sounds like commercial Home Assistant. What is hardwired? Some knx device similar to a Shelly?

        Maybe commercial MQTT? From the wiki it seems like mostly an intermediary protocol to get disparate things working on the same system. Their site is pure marketing garbage for explaining anything about it though.
