This works really nicely with one particularly frustrating and non-obvious trap, related to ‘Network Settings’.
#Knx ets 5 license windows 10#
I am running ETS5 on Windows 10 by using VMWare Fusion, which turns the Windows environment into a window on my Mac. Now, lets start looking at the tricks and traps I have encountered on my self-taught journey into the wonderful world of KNX and ETS5: Using ETS5 on a Mac: Making it work with VMWare Fusion It imports definition databases and applets from each manufacturer, on demand, to support the myriad variations offered by each device, in a (moderately) consistent manner. There is one ‘master’ programming tool (“ETS5”) that is used to program/configure and deploy KNX devices in real world environments. More than 450 hardware vendors with guaranteed interoperation. It includes a standardised set of mechanisms for physically wiring and installing KNX-speaking devices in a building.
It is a 30+ year old, published and standardised, protocol for building automation. Hence this blog post (and any others that may follow). I felt that there may be some merit, for others, in writing down the non-obvious things – and their solutions – as I go along.

Without that, I found myself repeatedly in the situation of knowing something can be done in ETS5/KNX, but being unable to figure out in the first instance how to do it. These pieces of missing knowledge and understanding would have been gained by doing a formal hands-on training course. The answer is that its not too hard, really, except that in doing it this way I’ve missed out on plethora of small nuances (especially about how to drive ETS5, and in how KNX concepts map to ETS5 reality). Next, I did the short online ‘eCampus’ introductory course at the knx.org site to get a high level understanding of how to drive the ETS5 app (and I will say that it was indeed very useful for that purpose).įollowing that, well, I just licensed ETS5, bought some KNX gadgets from IvoryEgg, and started to just ‘figure it out myself’ because, to borrow the classic geek thought bubble:

So, instead, I started with a free KNX intro seminar they delivered online.
In the COVID era, I couldn’t easily attend the hands-on physical accreditation training courses in KNX design and deployment that are offered by the very fine people at IvoryEgg. Finally a good intersection of time and opportunity has lead to this being the right time for me to undertake the learning journey. KNX is something I’ve been interested in learning ‘how to do’ for ages. I want to deploy KNX in some existing and new buildings.
