ETS Engineering Tool Software
ETS (Engineering Tool Software) is the official engineering tool software released by the KNX Association. It is used for planning, configuration, commissioning, operation and maintenance management of smart home and building control projects.
As a manufacturer-independent standardized configuration tool, ETS can integrate more than 8,000 KNX-certified products from over 500 manufacturers within a unified project environment. It enables function design, parameter setting, address assignment and system joint commissioning for cross-brand devices, providing reliable support for the entire workflow from project planning to delivery and operation & maintenance.
Core Features
Full-cycle Project Support: ETS delivers standardized complete workflows covering project planning, system layout, device import, function configuration, commissioning, delivery and later maintenance throughout the entire lifecycle of KNX projects.
Open Multi-vendor Integration: Based on the open and certified international KNX standard, it can integrate more than 8,000 certified products from over 500 manufacturers within one project, with no compatibility issues or vendor lock-in.
Flexible Configuration: Supports definition of rooms, functional zones and bus topology, assignment of physical addresses and group addresses, parameterization of device behaviors and association of group objects to realize coordinated operation of lighting, curtains, HVAC, security and other systems.
Secure & Reliable: Supports KNX Secure encrypted communication and device authentication to ensure data integrity; provides project backup, version management and project comparison to reduce configuration risks.
Scalable Deployment: Supports line couplers, IP architecture and large-scale project organization. Projects ranging from residential buildings to large commercial buildings can be managed within the same engineering environment for flexible system expansion.
Seamless Compatibility with DOBAS Products: The full range of DOBAS KNX products comes with standard ETS product databases. After import, complete functional parameters are available for fast configuration and commissioning, lowering project implementation costs.
