The Australian standards and standardisation organisation, Standards Australia, has chosen KNX as the national technical specification. In doing so, the organisation, whose standards are also of significance in New Zealand, acquired key parts of the ISO/IEC 14543-3 standard, under which KNX is already standardised on an international level.
The Australian smart home market is growing rapidly and analysts expect it to break the USD 1 billion revenue mark in the coming year.
Franz Kammerl, president of the KNX Association, said: “The standardisation in Australia and New Zealand is another important milestone for us. It’s proof of KNX’s future security as non-proprietary."
