Managing multiple zones within a building using a single ETS project is a key strength of KNX. Whether it is a multi-floor home, an office with different departments, or a hotel with numerous rooms, ETS allows each zone to be independently configured while remaining part of a unified system. This means that lighting, temperature, shading, and even security can be customized per zone, without the need for separate installations or software environments.
Using group addresses and proper device segmentation, installers can organize zones clearly in ETS for easier monitoring and future adjustments. Each area can have its own logic, schedules, and scene settings, yet all zones can still be controlled from a central panel or visualization interface if needed. This approach streamlines system design and saves time during commissioning, while also offering flexibility for future expansion.
Multi-zone control under one project simplifies maintenance and ensures the entire building operates smoothly and efficiently. It is especially useful in mixed-use properties where different rooms or sections have distinct automation needs but still benefit from centralized control.
