Overview
KNX connectivity and visualization describes Merten/Schneider Electric's solution set for linking KNX installations with open visualizations, mobile apps and multi‑protocol gateways. The goal is simplified planning, scalable visualization, integration of external services and efficient energy management, including electric vehicle charging management.

Core elements

• Wiser for KNX: solution for residential buildings with built‑in visualization, app connectivity and logic functions.
• spaceLYnk: multi‑protocol/server for commercial buildings with broad integration (BACnet, Modbus, etc.).
• Touch Visualization 3.0 / open visualization: customizable interfaces, widgets, favorites and chart widgets.
• EVlink / EVlink Load Management (LMS): dynamic charging management to monitor and regulate charging stations according to available building power.
• Security: support for KNX Secure features.

Functions and integrations (excerpt)

• Mobile apps for control and configuration (smartphone/tablet)
• Open visualization with customizable widgets and favorites
• Support for multiple protocols: BACnet, Modbus RTU/TCP, IP routing
• Integrations: SONOS, Philips Hue, IFTTT; widgets for Somfy and Danfoss
• Trend logs / graphs, NTP, HTTP and FTP server functions
• User management, scenes, scheduler, presence simulation, alarms (email/SMS)
• Support for EnOcean
• RS‑232 interface for A/V and similar systems

EVlink / Dynamic Load Management (LMS)

• Dynamic regulation of charging stations based on available building connection power
• Real‑time monitoring, remote control and maintenance functions for charging infrastructure
• Zone and time‑based charging profiles, prioritization (e.g. VIP vehicles)
• Modular package options for different numbers of charging stations without replacing the controller

Visualization & configuration

• Touch Visualization 3.0: customizable main screen, custom widgets, chart widgets
• Easy configuration via app: building structure, floors/rooms, select and place widgets, link to KNX functions

Security

• Support for KNX Secure: encryption and protection of KNX communication
