Removes the pain with project documentation and automates for quicker
and easier programming – get happier customers and save time.
You started your business for a reason, and that reason probably has nothing to do with complicated reports and spreadsheets.
Still, proper documentation helps you communicate better with customers. Without it customers can’t know what to expect and misunderstandings are inevitable, and those cost you money.
Project documentation helps you to grow by giving a structure to your business and it helps you to keep track of your design thinking and all project details during the long time a project usually takes.
As KNX system integrators ourselves, we realised that poor documentation was hurting our business, so we decided to fix the problem.
The KNX Tool replaces Word and Excel for your project documentation. Plan your projects in the tool with a more intuitive drag & drop system and print documentation that will help you plan better, be more structured, and experience less bugs. And whether you need purchase reports or user manuals, we’ve got you covered.
We all develop our own techniques for handling group addresses, some use indexing, others use spreadsheets. Yet, in the end – it’s a process that takes a lot of time.
A common solution is to copy old structures between projects, but not only does that copy unused addresses and errors from your previous projects, it often results in new errors and inconsistent group address names making debugging a nightmare.
ETS has many great features like the new IoT functions – but they all require manual data entering which requires a lot of extra time and effort.
Forget spreadsheets and manually assigned index numbers. KNX Tool can automatically generate the Group Address Structure according to your own style. It will also group them into IoT functions in ETS which gives you a better overview of your project and speeds up programming.
A unique one-of-a-kind tool specifically designed for KNX installers and integrators to help save time
Planning KNX projects is more visual and intuitive with the KNX Tool’s drag & drop interface.
Map the building structure and drag & drop devices and functions where you want them.
Assign button functionality and channel information in an intuitive way.
Customers don’t care what relays or bus system their home will have, they care about what functionalities they get.
Show your customer what makes your project unique with functions.
Functions describe functionalities and events that you can programme with KNX e.g. turning on a scene or locking the doors.
Create your own functions or start off quick by downloading some from our online catalogue.
The KNX Tool was designed with the principle of reusing components and templates to save time. The tool offers a variety of ways to automate your planning and refine your functions over time.
Save up to 65% of planning time by not having to manually copy and paste data, creating group address structures or print labels.
The automatically generated IoT functions sets you up for faster programming and it also allows other manufacturers like XXTER to automatically generate the visualisation in a fraction of time.
With our ETS APP you can import your KNX Tool project into ETS with the complete group address structure, topology, IoT functions and pre-configured devices – saving you a lot of time.
Take advantage of the new IoT functions in ETS and start to link channel to channel instead of object to object. The IoT functions will visually group the group addresses under functions you have in a room, this gives you a much more clear overview of your project so programming gets easier and faster.
"I have been using the BEMI KNX Tool for almost 3 years now and I highly recommend it for anyone who works with KNX systems integrations.
The drag and drop drawing board is really simple to use and saves me a huge amount of time when I'm designing and planning KNX installations.
I also like the fact you can import all group addresses directly into ETS when its time for programming. There are also other useful features which help me manage my daily tasks and and lets me keep track of the many KNX components/products needed for the different projects I am working on. Great tool!"
KNX systems integrator, Italy.
"Before discovering BEMI we were using excel spreadsheets which left room for error in our KNX designs.
BEMI has allowed us to design a complete project making the handover to our programming staff simple and effective with all of the relevant information.
BEMI has saved us time and money in design, programming and ordering, our clients also appreciate the professional file as part of our handover process."
Now you can effectively manage and coordinate every aspect of KNX projects with speed, accuracy and simplicity — to ensure the best possible results for your KNX projects.
Create custom project documentation to give customers and clients a set price for a variety of automated functions and features. Customize packages to suit end-user preferences and budgets. Print detailed reports with images for end-user manuals and final project reporting.
Make your own templates that generate complete Group Address structures for your projects.
Simply select a function for each channel and BOOM! you got your own group address structure with text and IoT data for your specific project.
The Group Addresses are automatically grouped into IoT functions when imported into ETS.
Ensure end-users can easily identify and understand how to operate their KNX system with accurate labelling. Create and print professional looking, company branded labels for all KNX switches, push-buttons, RCDs, etc.
Design and plan your project in KNX Tool and finish up the final programming in ETS.
KNX Tool can export projects with the building structure, topology, group addresses, IoT functions, and pre-configured devices.
Finish up in ETS, by configuring the device details and linking the channels with an IoT function. The IoT function can then be used for easy visualisation set up in e.g. XXTER visualization.
Customize KNX device configuration using KNX Tool’s easy-to-use project board and Online Catalogue of devices and functions. Include all necessary information such as Device Selling Price, Net Price, Programming Time, etc.
IoT meta data makes visualization of your project quick and easy,
For example, XXTER integrates with the KNX Tool, so you can create a visualization or voice control in just minutes.
Link your KNX Tool to the Futurasmus Web Shop and directly order the products used in your project from within the tool.

Yes, the KNX tool will help you make the documentation as well as setting up the project in ETS. you still need ETS for programming and commissioning
If you want to grow your KNX business you need to structure the projects and create documentation. if you only have a 1-2 projects a year you can manage with word and Excel but once you start to grow you will hit a wall where you can’t add functionality to your projects without documentation and you can’t grow without offering more functionality. Competitors who structure their projects are also able to sell their projects much cheaper.
