Professional Backbone × Consumer Ecosystem

KNX is the key technology choice for large buildings and high-end residences; Matter is the universal language that breaks down ecosystem barriers. The two are not substitutes for each other — they collaborate in layers.

PROFESSIONAL BUILDING BACKBONE

Thanks to the stability and compatibility of an open international standard, KNX has taken root in China over nearly two decades and become the key technology choice for large commercial buildings and high-end residential projects. In 2007 it was formally adopted as Chinese national standard GB/T 20965, completing the transition from an international standard to a local code.

High reliability, long lifecycle, system-level interlocking
Pre-installed cabling, bus-centric, fully deterministic
Open standard + global ecosystem → built for long-term evolution

Matter Nerve Endings · Ecosystem Gateway

UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE OF CONSUMER ECOLOGY

An open-source, royalty-free smart home connectivity standard led by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA). Through one unified "common language", devices from different manufacturers work together seamlessly on the same network — its core goal is to break down ecosystem barriers.

Open source and royalty-free: zero barrier to entry for manufacturers
IP-based open protocol stack: Wi-Fi / Thread / Ethernet
Bluetooth commissioning + NFC tap-to-join (Matter 1.6)

Translation, not replacement — KNX serves as the backbone and keeps control sovereignty; Matter serves as the upper-layer entry point and gives interaction freedom.

02 · PRODUCT

Pandora Edge · Bidirectional Fusion Gateway

KNX / Matter Gateway · Server Edition — one side fully masters the KNX bus system, the other natively joins the Matter ecosystem. Bidirectional translation, executed locally.

The Server Edition supports bidirectional KNX ⇄ Matter translation, so Matter-side commands can also control KNX devices.
