In short
KNX is a wired bus system, open to hundreds of manufacturers and designed for complete installations in new builds or full refurbishments. JUNG HOME works over Bluetooth Mesh radio in existing switch boxes and is set up with an app, so it suits refurbishments and occupied homes. For a whole, expandable home, KNX; to automate without building work, JUNG HOME.
